Looks like the minority just got smaller.

I really hope someone here is getting Shield. Haha... ^^;

I pre-ordered Shield a few months ago. Chose it on a whim with limited info at the time lol.

Well I hope you're willing to trade version exclusives.

I was gonna get Sword, but then Galarian Ponyta happened and my choice instantly shifted over to Shield.

Do we know which are exclusive? All I know about is

Spoiler: Exclusive

Appletun being the exclusive evo to Applin. Oh, and G-Ponyta line being exlcusive too. I don't know about any of the other new pokemon that are exclusive

 

[Cosmic77]

For anyone who wants to have a complete roundup of all of the new Pokemon in SwSh, here you are.

Spoiler: All New Pokemon Leak

Spoiler: Double Spoiler- you have been warned

Spoiler: Sword and Shield spoilers

Zacian being Fairy while Zamazenta is Fighter will never make sense to me.

Not complaining since Fairy/Steel is a great combo, but still. Guess Zacian stole the Fairy typing away from Galarian Ponyta.

Your reaction?

 

[KarneraMythos]

About that...

Spoiler: Spoiler

It's actually a Split Evo based on version. Sword exclusive is Flapple while the Shield exclusive evo is Appletun, so if you've got Sword, you don't need to worry about losing your Flapple at all.

If that's the case, I would be so happy.

Spoiler

While I'm disappointed by the lower number of returnees, I'm legitimately surprised the Silvally line came back. It was a legendary and heavily tied to the lore of Alola so it seemed like an easy cut.

So now that we know the full Dex...yeah, I'm waiting for an updated version before even considering buying the game.

Spoiler

I love pretty much all the new Pokémon, but not a single one makes up for the lack of Sawsbuck and Klefki. They cut roughly 500 Pokémon.

And the kicker? The regional Dex is smaller than the Kalos regional Dex. X and Y required them to move from sprites to 3D models so developer difficulty literally isn't an excuse.

Oh, and unlike literally any of the 3DS games, there's apparently no post game story like the Looker Bureau, Delta Episode, UB Missions, or Rainbow Rocket. Just the token Battle Tower and some rematches, apparently.

The game literally has less content than X and Y, the game that is infamous for its lack of content.

Spoiler

The no postgame story thing may be wrong, as someone said there may be something involving Looker. Regardless, they're still combing the game right now, so we'll see how the post game holds soon.

While that would be cool, OMFG NO

Sets a really dangerous precedent for GF(not that it already hasn't with Dexit) and pretty much makes you pay extra just for a finished game.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Ok so what have I missed beyond the mii costume leaks and SwoShi's mixed response

 

[Ivander]

There's Elma from Xenoblade Chronicles X, who seems to be the face of that game if Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is any indication. (I haven't gotten far into Xenoblade Chronicles X, but I assume she remains important to the story throughout the game)

About Elma......

Spoiler: HUGE XENOBLADE X SPOILERS. OPEN AT YOUR OWN RISK

It's hard to consider whether she ultimately counts or not. Cause the look everybody knows her by isn't her true form and her true form......is very white. Literally.

*Shrugs* I'm fine with that. Nobody ever posts a 'your reaction' question without already assuming a negative response, so I can guess at your stance on it, but I'd be perfectly fine since

Spoiler

400

is more than enough for a casual play through the main game. Extra would be for those looking to go competitive.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Honestly, I'd probably be more interested in seeing your reaction.

Honestly, it depends on the Pokémon included. I’m used to DLC and I’ve made up my mind to only get this game as a gift rather than spend my own money.

Okay, so apparently this footage has not been recorded with a newer balance patch.

Spoiler

It's a blow to it but I'm still leaning towards real. The only thing I'm hung up on is how apparently hard it is to mod Mii costumes without some serious elbow grease, if it were easier I wouldn't give this a second thought.

 

[ZaneHitsurugi]

It's easy to say gender and race don't matter when you already see yourself well-represented.
Smash's female fighters are a fraction of its total roster so you can't blame people for wanting to see more, especially when there are plenty of options to choose from that are just as interesting, if not more, than male characters.
And then we have a total of... 1 PoC character and it's... Ganondorf... which is uhm, yeah

Im not white and i dont give a **** about race representation. Its easily the silliest quality for wanting a character alongside gender or something equally irrelevant.

Anyway, Geno and Doomguy. Sounds cool, but for all we know, it could also be for costumes too, especially in the case of Geno. And they have done popular requests as Mii Costumes. Regardless, this is going to be a long wait to find out.

According to the image above, Galarian Rapidash is a Psychic/Fairy type. So that was in fact intentional, thank god.

How willing are you to bet your account again?

 

[Michele]

Spoiler: Pokemon Sword and Shield Spoilers: Disappointed about something

I'm hearing conflicting thoughts/posts about the Pokemon Dex. Some are saying that there will be no post game dex. Some are saying there will be, just in a reduced format like 632 and not the whole Nat Dex.

I'll still be buying the game soon, but if the annoying thing about just 400 pokemon (403 technically if there's Mew, Melmetal and Meltaan) present is true, the damn it. I really hope that's not the case... I'm still not buying it at all. About 50 or 100 could be enough but for some reason, I feel like I don't want to believe it at all despite possible proof shown to me.

 

[ZaneHitsurugi]

Not too hype. Doomguy is pretty dope but geno is just dopey tbh

 

[Lighteni]

How willing are you to bet your account again?

I bet my account on there not being a 5th DLC character. It just gets cancelled after Terry. Completely serious here, legally binding.

 

[Z25]

The cacademon costume is alrigt, but the mallow really sells me. It has a more cute and puffy vibe to it that fits mallow being a cloud so well. That feels like something only the smash team would come up with as a design.

leaning towards real myself.

Plus if it is real it’s kinda of cleaner. Nintendo isn’t going to come after them for mii costume footage because it’s not actual new character footag. So it’s a smart way to leak two new characters but without fully showing them.

Plus this isn’t the first ultimate video leak if real. Several people had actual footage of pirhana plant sent to them a little bit before the direct.

It’s possible a direct is soon and this person had access to contents from it or maybe some type of test build

 

[ColietheGoalie]

Sooo, if this ends up being real and doom guy and geno are our next fighters, how hyped are you guys?

So-so.
One has the history for sure, but he has nothing about him that I really find appealing.
The other is obscure as all hell, but seems like he'd come with some neat moves/music/stage.
