Topic: Pokemon Sword & Shield

@Harmonie same here, not even mildly interested in Let's Go. I do reckon it appeals to a certain target audience though, so I'd say the people who are enthusiastic deserve a sequel.

@-Green- the first thing I turned off in any Pokemon game so far anyway...

Just wish the Pokémon didn’t feel so stiff and lifeless so often. The video basically talks about it. Pokémon are supposed to be living creatures yet so often they feel like plastic figures. The battle animations and appearances are largely part of it

That has nothing to do with the games.

I think people still think that it’s connected to that Armored Evolution rumor that was going around a while ago.

@-Green- Yeah, that ''rumour'' was based on Armored Mewtwo. It's funny that if you keep repeating something ad nauseam, people will start believing it

Shadow forms will be in these games.
Shadow forms will be in these games.
Shadow forms will be in these games.
Shadow forms will be in these games.
Shadow forms will be in these games.

...

Do you believe it yet?

You will be able to use armored mewtwo to fuse your playable character with a shadow Pokémon

Shadow forms are literally half the reason why I want to play Pokemon Colosseum and XD: Gale of Darkness. Heck, I'd even settle for straight ports.

Ooh, both of those on the Switch in one collection. Wanted so much.

Heck yes to trainer customization. I really wish they'd started it in the series sooner, but y'know... limitations.

Corocoro is promising info on SS in their next month issue, which means we’ll very likely see those details before then. I imagine at or before E3

@-Green- When is their Direct? June 17? CoroCoro comes out on the 15th. I don't think they'd want to spoil the E3 trailer, so I don't think we're getting a lot. But who knows?

@Octane June 11

@Grumblevolcano In that case I expect CoroCoro to feature the things shown during their E3 Direct.

My bet is they’ll have a direct/Trailer for Pokémon before E3 and have some gameplay shown at E3. With Sun and Moon they had their big trailer in May

I could see a Pokémon Direct on 6/June, ready for everything else during the E3 Direct on 11/June. However, it could also be that Town - as the newest thing [and those comments in that article - ay-yi-yi] - will be the one to get the focus Direct, with Sword/Shield in the E3 one. That allows Nintendo to put two of its largest games in the same Direct.

Though a Pokémon Direct would probably bring in a larger audience watching live.
