Update: And the show is now over! You can still watch the full video below if you want to catch up on all the news.

Original Article: The time has finally come for us to learn more about Pokémon Sword and Shield's Expansion Pass!

A brand new video from The Pokémon Company is set to premiere at 6am PDT / 9am EDT / 2pm BST / 3pm CEST, showing off "updates" about the pass. We're willing to bet there'll be plenty of info surrounding the Pass' second piece of DLC, The Crown Tundra, which is a very exciting prospect indeed.

ShiroiTaka said:

Im mostly waiting for the Go transfer as stopped playing it but have a bunch of good shineys to bring over

Like those

Kanto. Johto. Hoenn. Sinnoh. Unova. Kalos. Alola. Galar.

Snap should have dlcs for the region

like snap do better then this

Hopefully a new pokemon games

ShiroiTaka said:

@shamrock if you have a bunch of legacy pokemon to transfer its worth it.

mikegamer said:

Zzzzzzz

If it only includes maybe 1-4 hours on extra mission time no

EightyTwoStu said:

Pretty much what I expected it to be - confirmation of release date a bit of detail.

Should i buy the dlc

no one's stopping you from buying it lol it's just underwhelming

idk

to make sure no one forgot? it doesn't seem like this DLC really offers much tho

EightyTwoStu said:

Christ, you guys all moan a lot? What were you actually expecting?

so whats the point of this video?

For probably $80

Grumblevolcano said:

So now we know the big holiday title for Switch this holiday, the retail packaged version of Sword/Shield + expansion pass

What did it include

tanaka2687 said:

Song was nice

Rexenoboy said:

This was boring and pointless.

So thats it lol?

Rexenoboy said:

Bump of chicken?

This is probably the least impressive Pokemon presentation so far

Octane said:

so ugly

mikegamer said:

lol

ricklongo said:

The enthusiasm on the presenter's face is contagious

Grumblevolcano said:

October 22nd

Octane said:

nidoking ain't a new face

Rexenoboy said:

lol

Octane said:

out of a 100

Octane said:

excitement level is around 0.12

mikegamer said:

Uhhhhhhh

Rexenoboy said:

@Octane Oh, ok then.

Octane said:

@Rexenoboy it's a standard YouTube countdown

Grumblevolcano said:

It's starting

Rexenoboy said:

Pokémon Trozei 2

Shadow drop Pokemon Smile 2!!!

ShreyasPFSVK said:

@Octane that would be awesome

Rexenoboy said:

Wait, didn't Nintendo Life use something similar for their indie presentation?

Octane said:

Any chance they will shadow drop Pikmin 4?

Grumblevolcano said:

2 minutes

Rexenoboy said:

Absolute crazy, I know.

Rexenoboy said:

Last prediction: they will end the presentation with the tagline "Everyone is here!"

Grumblevolcano said:

As it's being streamed, I'd guess 10 minutes

SweetPotatoes said:

I'll be gutted if they delay the expansion, been waiting for all dlc to come out before playing sword

Rexenoboy said:

I called 4:20 a couple of minutes ago btw

Rexenoboy said:

10 mins seems long to me, but hey, the more the better, right?

ColeTD said:

My guess is gonna have to be 4:12

i say 10 min

ShiroiTaka said:

7 Mins?

only way to get legendary pokemon is amiibo

Rexenoboy said:

Nobody else want to take a guess at the length of this presentation?

i do too and next monster hunter

Rexenoboy said:

I wish you were correct on that @andrew20

but we all know the next fighter is rex

Beans 4 Smash

Rexenoboy said:

Let's guess how long this is going to take. I'm calling 4 minutes 20 seconds.

and a new eevee

beans for switch

NO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! burn those fighters from your head

ShreyasPFSVK said:

🤣

ShreyasPFSVK said:

Caiiou 4 Smash

Rexenoboy said:

Hiya guys!

ShreyasPFSVK said:

Waluigi 4 Smash

alm 4 smash

Steve 4 Smash

Maybe there announced a nintendo VR in a year or 2

ShreyasPFSVK said:

Waluigi 4 Smash

who cares it not in switch labo vr

I know its about sword but we need some pokemon snap news

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/new-pokemon-snap-nintendo-switch/6414112.p?skuId=6414112

Hope we get a little news about this

I agree

Krisi said:

I sure as heck hope we won't get more. I'm interested in more Pokémon content, but the first DLC pack was very lackluster and the pack was really expensive.

When the beans are ready the dlcs are ready

KnightsTemplar said:

looking for something a little different... diff diff, not same same

looking forward to this! the 1st DLC was nice but a little too short for me

Grumblevolcano said:

Then Expansion Pass 2 gets announced in January

And pokemon Moba

return to kalos

I welcome a pokemon Smash character

Grumblevolcano said:

I hope we see a Smash Ultimate type situation of "Is this end? We are happy to confirm that more DLC is coming after Crown Tundra has been released"

LatsaSpege said:
