I would not be surprised in the slightest if the entire first generation came along thanks to the general bias. I'm just afraid we'll only see about four to five lines from each other generation in comparison due to them putting all their eggs in the Gen 1 basket, again.
@SusieHaltmann I mean, assuming the GTS is back you should be able to find 10000 trades for whatever the corresponding Shield exclusive is when it launches if that helps.
I think Dunsparce might be the Sheild exclusive but with the lance theme of Sirfecthd makes me wonder if there is going to be a new horse Pokemon or a new form/evolution of Ponyta/Rapidash

When i saw Sirfetch'd weapon for the first time, it looked like Bambu Runcing / Bamboo Spear since here in Indonesia, my country there was a traditional weapon made by bamboo and cut diagonally to make it sharp like a spear.
I’m hopeful to see what balance changes and buffs they make for Pokémon’s this time around. Please buff Gogoat. I’ve got a shiny Gogoat who I would love to use if his stats and move pool weren’t so mediocre and bad.
The games come out in two months and I’ve been avoiding any leaks. Still waiting for that new innovation/feature(s) for the generation. So far Gigantamaxing/Dynamaxing and Camping are variations of things we’ve seen in previous generations with Megas/Z-Moves and Amie respectively.
I suppose the Wild Area is supposed to be the new big thing so far but I don’t know. It doesn’t really feel wow enough to excite me. Maybe all the open world games as of late have dulled me a bit
SirFetch'ed is definitely on my team. I'm having a Knights vs Dragons team.
So SirFetch'ed, Escavalier, Duraludon, Haxorus, Golisopod for now. I'm hoping Talonflame and Clawitzer are in the game too.
One thing i am thankful for in Sword and Shield, no more previous gen legendaries and mythical pokemon, it is long overdue. Those things ruined battle spot and link battles.
That’s assuming Gamefreak doesn’t just introduce new Legendaries to take their place tbh. Last gen introduced around 20 or so legendarily tier Pokémon.
Currently (finally!) playing through Ultra Sun for the first time. Man, this game for me is mediocre at best. I have the feeling I'm playing through a bad child's cartoon; it's so dialogue heavy. The trial approach doesn't click for me and the Z-moves feel like a redundant novelty (I felt like that about Mega evolutions also and I'll probably feel the same about dyna's). I miss gen 2/3/4. I started playing Ultra Sun to get excited for Sw/Sh, but the opposite is happening
I'm getting really eager for these games. I've held myself back from replaying any older titles for a long time now. I can't wait to enjoy Sw/Sh on the TV and on the go!
Been since the Gamecube days that I've been able to do that! And honestly I do think it's partly because of the Gamecube Game Boy player letting me play the same games on the go and on TV that I love the Switch so much. Pokemon was the game I used the most back then.
I honestly think Sw/Sh look real fun and am very eager to play at this point!

@Snaplocket Oh agreed. It's just... the details we've heard so far have taken the wind out of my sails with both the wild area and the tournament. I'm still super hoping they turn out wonderful, but I'm not expecting it at this point.
@toiletduck Ugh, yeah, the worst part is Pokemon Masters actually manages to rework Z-Moves and Mega Evolutions into a way that felt fun and natural instead of tacked on by combining them and not allowing them turn 1. But we'll probably never see that happen in the main games unfortunately. Dynamax... well there's no saving that from being a useless gimmick.
Is it just me or did we have a lot more info on the games as a whole with previous gens at this point. Not just Pokemon but locations, things to do, etc.
