New Legendaries, Star Tournament And More Revealed For Pokémon Sword And Shield

seriously cant wait at least give most of us some time to cover more ground on xenoblade chronicles but for me ill be switching between both games.

Those Regis don't really look like a Regi aside from their eyes, I think that Regigigas proved that a new Regi can still look like a Regi.

Don't get me wrong they look fine, but I don't think it looks like a Regi aside from the eyes.

As from Galarian Zapdos, Moltres and Articuno, they look fine but a littlebit uninspiring, you can tell they focus more and more on creating a dozen of different region variants instead of new Pokémon (that is not a bad thing if the design looks good)

@RPGamer pride what?

It sounds like they have revealed more about the latter expansion as opposed to the one coming on the 17th, seems a bit odd.
Unless they done this kind of information drop when the video showing expansions first dropped. I honestly can't remember.

Is Regidrago's attack a Kanye reference?...

I really need to pick this up.

These expansions keep getting better and better!

@Rayquaza2510 June is Pride Month in the US and a number of other countries! Pride celebrations are held throughout the month including parades and rallies (although many have been cancelled this year for obvious reasons) and we honor LGBTQIA+ history. You guys in Europe (assuming due to the site, forgive me if I’m wrong) have LGBT+ History Month in February instead.

I love the Galarian legendary birds, but the two Regis....I like their designs overall, but they don't really capture that "golem" feel.

@Tyranexx Really digging the looks for Articuno and Moltres. Bit on the fence for Zapdos though.

Not sure how I feel about giving Legendaries alternate versions like this. I always thought of them as special, one-off Pokémon so having weird versions in a different region is a bit odd to me. But more new Pokémon is nice!

@readalie Pride in Europe is mostly marches and parades during the summer, I don't think we really bother with a whole month though. Guess that's more of an American thing? Nobody I know bothers with it anyway...

I think they should get renamed since the original names had to do with typing...

Mysticuno, Punchidos, and Blactres

Also, it's cool that they went for a type triangle with Psychic, Fighting, and Dark... but Punchidos gets screwed since they each have a secondary type of Flying.

EDIT: I guess Vulpix and Sandshrew/Sandslash never got name changes with their type change either... but legendaries should be an exception

EDIT2: Colpix and Iceshrew/Iceslash

@readalie that explains that big question mark floating above my head now, thank you for explanation.

Can we team up with interesting characters or just Hop?

"We'll kick things off with some newly revealed Pokémon"

Nope, all of these were already revealed in previous trailers or CoroCoro magazine.
You should change that misleading title.

@clvr True, but I don't think they've been identified until now.

I prefer the Kanto versions of Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres to be honest. Articuno is one of my favourite Pokemon.

I have a feeling the new legendary birds are based of three birds of Celtic/Irish lore, and their leader (whoever it is, similar to Lugia) must be the Pokémon version of the Morrigan.

Star Tournaments? I'll see how they play.

@Raccoonius To be honest, Galarian Zapdos is my least favorite of the three. Still, it reminds me of a Chocobo. 😁

The galarian legendary birds do honestly have some pretty sick designs, it sucks they're stuck as OP legendaries though and as such not really doable ingame playthroughs.

@Tyranexx I didn't see it's right leg at first, so thought it just looked like an angry Torchic. Then I saw the leg and thought 'Yep, that's a Chocobo".

I'm all in on this. I'm barely holding myself back right now because there's other games I really want to play too and not nearly enough time in the day.

I mean they released the hidden ability starters already! That alone is going to be HUGE for competitive! Grassy surge Rillaboom is especially exciting to me. Cinderace is still a glass cannon, but now he hits so much harder!

@Kimyonaakuma Not true at all, Pride is quite big in Europe, it is celebrated in June as well and I know over here in Spain it attracts a huge amount of tourists that attend the parades, so yes, it is quite the big deal!

Back on topic, I can't wait for this DLC! I was having the itch for some kind of Battle Frontier where you could interact more with the characters, so I'm quite happy they added that in! Also can't wait for more forms

@Incarna yep, totally with you on that one. But gamefreak will do what it does best and charge people more for less content. I remember when Pokémon games had actual postgame content instead of the bare bones nothing they do these days.
