Here's Your First Look At Pokémon Sword And Shield's Title Screen

Yeah I suppose I'm pretty excited regardless of all the reasons people (including myself) have raged at these games recently. I'll be getting Shield 😄

@Xelha I imagine they go through a few screens and it's not just the images we see here

I really miss the animated title openings/screens. I still remember Ruby and Sapphire and the joy that gave my heart as a kid. Really wish they’d do that again.

@ShikabaneHime13 I imagine it is animated and that this is just the actual title screen.

Oh it looks so pretty. I am so excited for Sword and Shield.

I suspect these images are just the title screen and not the actual opening montage or video

@UmbreonsPapa Fair. I wish an opening could be like R/S/E or even B/W. B/W’s opening montage was one of the absolute best in my personal opinion

@ShikabaneHime13 I haven't played B&W in so long. I had to go back and remind myself of the opening. That was a good one.

Oh man, the first new gen on an HD portable system! Haven't been this excited for a Pokemon game in a while.

Shield version here.

Man, I think I'm the one of the only ones that don't understand the hate on these games at all. They look great. I mean, yeah, the animations could be better, but I haven't played pokemon since black and white so I don't really care if 400 have been cut; there's still at least 300 already confirmed in the thing. I'd never see the ones not native in the game anyway and that's probably true most people who get the game

It seems like the title screen themselves will circle around a huge stadium. But I am betting we will be getting a big video montage before the game begins. They have FAR more data to work with than the portable titles, there's no way they aren't going to bring in an opening movie. It'll probably be a sweet tasty high quality pre-rendered cutscene

@Xansies I admit to being a bit disappointed and deflated when the news dropped about the culling. And while there will always be a tinge of disappointment they all couldn't make it in, I can say the more information revealed since has slowly renewed my enthusiasm.

@Xansies,

Same here, these games look great and will be a nice addition to the series.

I’ve always been excited for these new ones. People are really just feeding negativity off each other. Oh well, I’m going to enjoy it. It makes me very happy that this is coming in November just like the previous entries. I always remember playing Pokémon around Thanksgiving while the snow falls outside, and the smell of our heating kicks in along with the smell of the oven. Oh it’s game time. Time to nerd out!

@ShikabaneHime13
The title screen clearly IS animated.

I preordered the double pack. I'm dying to play these games! Even more than normal because I've held myself back from replaying older Pokemon games so I can go into these fresh!

@Heavyarms55 Same. I’m looking forward to launch. My husband offered to keep the kids while I spend the weekend in NY. Going to attend the launch and play all weekend while staffing a booth at the anime convention up there

@ShikabaneHime13 Wow. Shame you could just drop the kids with the grandparents and both go. lol

Sounds like a fun time!

@Xelha I am pretty sure Shield's is the same as Sword, just at a different point as it's likely an animated sequence
