I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say, SWSH will not get any sort of follow up version. Quote me on this.

In literally all the base games, the third legendary plays little to no role, is just sitting in some random cave or something. Unlike all those, Eternatus plays a pretty prominent role in the actual story. The third legendary usually get a second form in the follow up games (see giratina, kyurem, zygarde, necrozma), yet Eternatus already has two, and both are battled in the Climax.

So therefore, I think it's gonna be like gen 6, where its just base game + remake, but this time around a lack of a third version being planned from the start rather than being scrapped midway like Z probably did.

So saying we get a third game

(for example Emerald, Platinum etc)

What would be the name of said game? Pokémon Armor perhaps? Would you like to see a PR move where all the Pokémon get added to the wild areas?

I'm really curious about this one, it's been a long time since we got a true "definitive edition" what would you like added to Pokémon Sword & Shield in general for me Togepi is in so I'm all good :P

You will either get Shining Sword and Shining Shield or Sword 2 and Shield 2. B2W2 and USUM's sales have killed any chances of a third game.

That or they'll pull a XY and just not bother with Galar again.

I agree with this. There's enough hints that Sinnoh remakes are on their way, either next year or the year after, and then it will probably be all hands on deck for gen 9.

Pokemon Diamond And Pearl remakes will be SwSh 2, like ORAS was to X&Y.

Pokémon Energy Sword and Energy Shield.
But honestly, I think SwSh will be X/Y 2.0.

It's gonna either be ____ sword and ____ shield, or its gonna be bow.

it won't be armor because shield is already an armor like thing, and sword can be construed as a melee weapon, so bow it is.

the last "third" game was 12 years ago. we can safely assume there won't be another one.

Why are you acting like B2W2 = USUM? USUM is clearly a third game that did not advance the story in Sun and Moon (instead, it was a retelling in a similar vein to Emerald, Platinum, etc).

Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon are basically a third version except two games instead of one. Very different from Black 2 and White 2.

Pokemon Fist. They get rid of the armor completely and fist fight.

Seriously, I'm expecting a direct sequel and it being Sword 2 and Shield 2, including more Galar forms, more Giga forms and more of the complete dex.

I don't think there's going to be a third version, it'll be like X/Y with the base games, then remakes the following year.

Either Sword 2 / Shield 2 or some name with a modifier (ie, "Mighty Sword").

They stopped doing 3rd versions a long time ago.
