Topic: Pokemon Sword & Shield

Not to mention kill a vibrant and loved official tournament scene that has gone on for over a decade. Take away multi player entirely and even I would ditch the new games. I wont say there is no point to Pokemon aside from multi player, but for me getting to the end of the game and then playing online with other people is what has kept the series alive for me for me often for months past becoming champion in each title.

Also @Morpheel most do not hack their teams. That's just a loud, entitled minority.

I can see why some do hack their Pokémon ngl. It’s a pain the butt and I can definitely say I hate the absurd amounts of RNG and boring grinding involved in it.

With some Pokemon you can even intentionally ignore some IVs.

Stakataka for instance has no business having anything but min speed.

Like 90% of the time just Speed for Trick room plays

New Pokemon! And some info on Gigantamax!

Charizard is so gonna get a new Gigantamax form thing. I can feel it in my bones.

Gigantamax sounds like a waste of 3D models.

Gigantamax looks super cool and no one can convince me otherwise

I saw Bea, a Fighting type Pokemon Gym leader.
Cross fingered if we will get another Kickboxing Pokemon after Hitmonlee.
I really hope the Kickboxing Pokemon will have similar masculine looking as Sawk.

Some of the effects of these Gigantamax attacks are absurd. Like the turtle not only attacks but sets up Stealth rocks as well.

Mega evolution wasn't OP enough. Z-moves weren't OP enough. Here, have both.

Corviknight straight up does a stronger Defog that also deals damage at the same time. Crazy

Gym leaders are now exclusive to versions this time, Sword gets the Fighting gym meanwhile Shield gets the Ghost gym.

So Pokemon is now like Fire Emblem Fates just that it's more expensive to get all the paths.

Considering B/W has different gym leader (although both are dragon), and Emerald changes water gym...

B/W also has that city and forest thing.

Oh so that’s probably what they meant with new models... Assuming every pokmemon family has a gigantamax form.

@Morpheel Theyve already said only specific specimens can do it.

Also...seeing Yamper use Tail Whip is....depressing.

High quality animation my butt. I can use the rotate tool

Well, evolutions count as different specimens.

If they wanted they could create one for each fully evolved Pokémon in the game, and it would still be like, a third of the Pokédex.

Also anyone already pegged Rose as the villain?

His company runs the League. Gyms get paid sponsors. Rose put Leon up to taking the challenge.

Leon is loved all over Galar, draws huge crowds and never loses.

Sponsors would need to pay a pretty penny to be shown on the shining undefeated star's battlefield.

@Knuckles-Fajita i theorized the league itself would be the evil group after we meet the champion some trailers ago

Finally I can decide which version to buy, going for that Larvitar and the Ghost Gym in Pokémon Shield!
