SwSh Sword & Shield: Expansion Pass

[Johnny Boy]

So Galar Maingame = England
Isle of Armour = Ireland (possibly just Northern Ireland)
Crown Tundra = Scotland

So there is potential for somewhere based on Wales, possibly even the South of England, south of London/north of Wyndon? But then what colour scheme would they use as Sword = Blue, Shield = Red, Armour = Yellow, Crown = Green.

Scotland? Maybe Stoutland still has a chance to make the cut.

Isle of Armor is probably the Isle of Man.

 

[Silverwynde]

Game Freak: Wanna pay thirty bucks for some new Sword and Shield content?

Me: Nah, I'm good.

Game Freak: Venusaur gets a new form

Me: You son of a... I'm in.

 

[Gligarman]

If I can get my Gliscor and Simisage back then all Will be right with the world.

 

[TechSkylander1518]

I'm glad they're going to release an update for the base game so that people can get the 200+ Pokemon being added in the expansion pass, it would have been really scummy otherwise.

Oh, fuck yes, this solves every issue I ever had with the dex cut! Patching in old Pokemon with no cost!

Not super delighted about the 30$ cost for the DLC, because I find it hard to believe they could really add half a game's worth of content in this, but maybe I'm just being pessimistic! Love that they expanded GMax forms (Ariana gif: It's equality), and they seem like really cool concepts! The new regis look epic, but I'm not super big on the regional forms for the birds, because it seems really weird lore-wise, and I can't get as interested in the designs because of that. New legendaries have cool concepts, but I hate how bulbous that deer is, and the other one looks more like an animated character rather than a Pokemon. I'm very optimistic about this, though, it definitely shows a good future for content expansion!

 

[Astro Pantherion]

I like how two new areas correlate to cardinal directions? Crown Tundra is placed south and Isle of Armor is placed east of Galar. Going into Super Speculation mode, maybe there will be another pass for this game, with two new areas correlating to West and North?

 

[BackSet]

I haven't watched the whole thing but I'm throwing my goddamn money at it.

Also, I was a bit nervous but I'm fairly certain these aren't version exclusive but can someone confirm yay or nay anyway please.

 

[Daenerys]

So Gamefreak finally gave into our demands by giving us more of the old Pokemon and even some new species to boot?

 

[Dizzard]

Since we're supposed to be able to play this starting from the first time you access the Wild Area, I guess that means the levels Pokemon appear at will be low. Do you think it's likely they'll do level scaling?

It would be cool to play through these new areas with a new team of Pokemon. Well it would be pretty pointless to bring my existing champion team if level scaling isn't a thing.

 

[Poke Dragon]

Also, I don't think Eternatus needs a game about itself, especially when it changes into its Eternamax form when Eternabeam is used. So I can see why they didn't give a focus to it when teasing the story of the DLC.

 

[Louise]

This looks so cool can not wait to play it I hope there will be new max raid battles then

Why are a lot of these “most likely”? Most lines on that list are no more likely to get in than others. The only ones we know of are the ones shown in the trailer, on the site, and most legendaries. Plus likely the ones that were already in the game’s code.

Don't forget the other Pokemon that were found in the data of SwSh by hackers. If Mythicals are in, then so can others alongside the legendaries.

 

[Peridorito]

I saw a really cool theory about the new Regis. If the classic Regis are meant to represent three different "ages" of the world: the stone, ice and metals ages, then the new ones would represent two other ages. The electric Regi represents the modern age and the dark Regi represents the dark ages.

I'm not convinced we'll get every starter Pokemon included in this expansion pass. On the website they said that 100+ Pokemon were being brought back for each part of the expansion pass. 60 seems like a lot of Pokemon that presumably won't be appearing in the wild. (they could but it seems more likely they'd be gift Pokemon)

To be honest you add all the legendary Pokemon on top of that and it is making me wonder how they're going to make these expansion areas feel fresh Pokemon wise. The list you've provided doesn't give much to work with in terms of standard wild Pokemon (It's full of starters, fossils and legendaries)

Also I don't think it's a guarantee that every regional bird will return.

200+ it said

 

[Dizzard]

200+ it said

Yes that's what I said.

100+ Pokemon were being brought back for each part of the expansion pass.

 

[Grass Type Gardenia]

Yes that's what I said.

I calculated altogether of which Pokemon will come back, it's not 100% exact since we haven't the full idea for what's in or out.

 

[AG128L]

It seems that The Isle of Armor expansion will allow you to help some of the Pokémon traveling with you gain the ability to Gigantamax.

If this refers to more Pokémon than just the starters, I’m so excited! My Coalossal will Gigantamax!
