Awesome, that’s the best outcome in my book. Now there’s actually room for the ninjas and new characters.

Also are those silhouettes guesses or what?


He’s definitely in. He was in the steam leak.
Yeah I see him in the picture now, far left. Assumed he was Kung Lao.

Shang Tsung and Mileena are also unlockable characters apparently. Also saw something about Shinnok being in.

No Takeda, Kung Jin or Takeda atm sucks but everyone that isn't Sonya looks great so far so I don't mind as much.

So Lockstin Gnoggin made his first speculation video about Pokemon Sword and Shield based on the reveal trailer that's worth checking out:


He mainly talks about where else we can see the sports-like theme in the gameplay as well as what the story themes will probably be.

One of his most interesting points is what he says about the gym. The Pokeball-like symbol in front of the gym that can also been on the player character's soccer uniform during that one scene in the trailer also appears on the Japanese title logos for the games. Since this was like the Mega Evolution symbol and the Z-Crystal appearing on the past Japanese title logos, it means this new stadium-like feature is most likely going to be the main "battle gimmick" of this generation.

He mentions one possible idea how this stadium gimmick will play out: the cheering crowd. A crowd cheering "Defense" will raise the Pokemon's defense, while a crowd cheering "Offense" will raise the Pokemon's offense. These are the basic stuff, but it could also involve more cheers than just those. It's primarily supposed to replicate how a real-life sports game plays out where a massive crowd cheers for a certain team with the cheers trying to boost moral for the team they root for (hence the "Defense" example), and considering how sports seems to be a big theme of this game, it seems like a plausible idea. He adds that part of the main gimmick will involve not always choosing moves based on which is stronger, but also choosing moves that are flashy and can win the crowd to your side.

He then talks a lot about what the story theme of the game will be. He thinks it will probably be a "Nature vs Technology" theme because of how Galar has a big emphasis on some industrial-like areas with some scenic countryside areas. He even goes a step further to tie the sports theme into another possible theme of "Faith vs Science": religious faith played a huge role in British history, and perhaps faith could tie into the "nature" aspect of staying true to old ideas as well as uniting people together (ties into sports where people cheer on their team because they have faith their team will win). Science could mainly tie into "hard facts" and breaking away from faith in old ideas to push history, people, and Pokemon forward. It's a little complicated to explain further, but you'll get the idea when you watch the video.

What do you think of his idea of the main battle gimmick having to do with the crowd? Do you think it'd be an interesting feature?

Also, what do you think about his points on the possible themes of the story?

Watched that yesterday, actually, and I think it's a pretty solid theory, all things considered. I actually really like the stadium gimmick he speculated about.

Stadium gimmick where you can pretend to get hit by the opponent's pokemon and get the ref to come in and red card the opponent.

More MK leaks here: https://m.imgur.com/a/s9pYIvS


I'm assuming their train of thought is "let's improve her rather than shelve her" while the more popular kids are prime for DLC cause they're already well liked.
Also have heard that Shinnok is in. And that Shang and Mileena are unlockable.

Shinnok supposedly being in makes me think that there still might be a few other characters still. Considering I thought that Shinnok was definitely not going to be in. Because, well, being vegetated. And also because he appeared in his MKX appearance alongside Reptile, Rain, and Cyrax as "klassic characters". Maybe those three still have a shot of being in. Especially Rain.

So basically, having Pokemon Contests be implemented into the main battles? That... actually sounds kinda fun. It's an already estabilished(albeit poorly) system that would really change how battles are played and a good change to gyms and the E4.
I just hope Totem Pokemon make a return in some form, they were something I've always wanted in Pokemon but knowing Gamefreak...

If this really is true, then MK11's roster is really good. And that's not even factoring DLC.

Pouring out one for Rain and Smoke fans. Maybe DLC will be kind to them.

Mileena, Shinnok and Shang are also apparently in.

I'll probably be playing Sub, Noob or Kitana, but I also want to try out Cassie and Erron.

I miss Smoke. And Takeda. Really hoping they make it in as dlc.

Also about the Gogeta EZA, I'm like halfway through and I know EXACTLY what you mean about the trial and error. My Movie Bosses situation is woeful.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

New pokemon look great. I think it's the first gen where I'm not sure which starter I'm taking, usually one jumps out as "the one". Sobble and Grookey are both interesting to me.

but who the hell chose the name Grookey seriously what the hell
