Topic: Pokemon Sword & Shield

It would definitely come off as they running out of original ideas. Basically redundant.

@-Green- The original ''armor'' rumour happened after the ''Armored Mewtwo'' merchandise leak in early February. Hardly anyone picked up on this, but when Nintendo trademarked it, it made it seem as if the rumour was suddenly more credible than before. Armored Mewtwo is a thing in the upcoming film; whether it's the Rocket suit from the first film or something different we don't know. Make of this what you will.

@-Green- The concept is stupid, but the same post predicted the name and inspiration for the region. Game Freak is no stranger to gimmicky mechanics so I wouldn't be all that surprised if the rumor is true.

Agreed. I understand wanting to add something new, and there's nothing wrong with that. At the same time though, some new features feel sort of unnecessary while some older features could use more fleshing out in my opinion.

YouTube keeps on recommending me meme vids and supposed LEAKS AND RUMOURS on this game. People are already so hungry for another Pokémon game even though its barely been a month.

Honestly think people are expecting too much from the lore and story Gamefreak are known for.

@-Green- Isn't that true for every release? Anyway, I don't watch them, so they don't show up in my feed either.

Maybe for Pokémon 😓. May just be noticing it more because YouTube keeps suggesting to me Sword and Shield Leak videos.

Have you been watching Anti-Matters suggestions? Because if so, maybe YouTube thinks you're very into pokemon leaks, rumors and predictions.

I tend to stay away from leak videos. I like being surprised, plus I'm enough of a skeptic already.

@Snaplocket that would be cool

@-Green- I'm ignoring them i want this game to surprise me

It’s my own fault for watching discussion videos inn sword and Shield I suppose. Probs why I got so many recommendations on it now

@-Green- Best thing to do is just click the option "not interested" on the videos like that in your recommended's. It's supposed to tune them so you don't see content of that type anymore, but knowing youtube it probably doesn't work as intended.

Have to admit about this game: The starter designs are growing on me, especially sobble who I initially hated at first

Same here. Initially I didn’t like any of the 3. Grookey was my favorite but still was kinda meh about it, Sobble reminded me too much of Mudkip and Scorbunny was my least favorite since I thought it looked too strange, like a Digimon kind of design.

Now I’ve warmed up to all of them. As a matter of fact Scorbunny is my favorite now. Although I’m still not a big hands-down fan of any of them ... which is fine because for me at least the final evolutions are the deciding factor into who I choose. If you asked me during Gen 6, Froakie would’ve been my least favorite starter of the 3 but once Greninja was revealed Froakie definitely would be my go-to starter for X/Y.

I’m just not a fan of how the scrawny limbs look on Sobble and Scorbunny. It’s unappealing in my eyes.

Sobble looks cute to me.
I'm sure the Final evolution of Sobble will be looks like on Fan art concept I watched from YouTube.

I hope Sobble ends up being Water Ghost like everyone thinks. Ghost makes sense for a chameleon. No way in hell Scorbunny ends up Fire/Fighting. Grookie could be anything, I dont think itll end up Grass/Ground like popular rumors say. It would be cool if they had Grass/Water,Fire/Grass, Water/Fire in a future generation. Fire/Grass could fit with the zodiac motif pretty well with a Snake

Because all Chameleons die at some point?

They did a ghost starter last gen. Maybe it would be cool to try a new type. Like bug, or rock.

Fire/Dragon - Just to annoy Charizard.
