SwSh Sword & Shield: Expansion Pass

[prog rocker]

How can there be a galarian sewaddle and swadloon that is the same typing? All of the galarian forms have their typings changed

Well, they lost their Grass-Typing, according to the leak. Not that it makes it more believable.

What is the consensus towards "leaks" for this thread? If it's not allowed I'll delete this.
Anyway, I have a friend who's been directing me to 4chan "leaks" on and off for a while, but I never believed any of it.
Dunno why, but this one felt tame enough for speculation's sake. I don't think it's real, but I wouldn't mind if it's true lol

well guess im not sure that true or not after checked visit website.

Some more speculation: Do you think it's possible Klara might be revealed to originally be from Unova or Alola, judging by the way her dialogue in the Galarian Slowpoke cutscene seems to convey a California surfer sort of dialect similar to Marlon or Mina, rather than the British slang most Galar characters use?

Hmm, from the dialogue on Bulbapedia, she doesn’t give me that Californian-surfer vibe (doesn't look like it either), though it does seem markedly different from the dialogue of the other characters. See

superduper cute
the absolute coolest
Okaaay
Let's hang if we meet up again, 'K? Bye-bye, then! See ya!"

She looks more like those Japanese dolls.

Makes me think more of a valley girl without the excessive "likes".

I wonder if Klara speech is more just trying to make her seem young but comes across in a bit of “hello fellow kids” meme sort of way.

Stylistically she looks like she might fit in with the Harajuku scene, but the puffy jacket and crown looking bracelet she’s wearing also make me wonder if she might have some connection to the Crown Tundra too. Maybe they originally wrote her lines on a Glaswegian dialect but decided it was too hard to understand ;-) - I have relatives in the Glasgow area so feel I’m allowed to make that joke

Yeah. People dislike Charizard pandering, but that was the one moment where it would have made sense by giving Ash a Mega Stone, but no, they had to create something exclusive to Greninja. And this comes from someone that likes Greninja.

they can in future still gave those starters megas in a other generation


I wonder why they hide galarian slowking ???
maybe its ability and typing will be very appeling ???

if they hide it that means more galarian forms and new pokemon could be there too...

Technically they're gen 4, and magmar deserves justice after the abomination it got for an evo, kinda like how mr.mime is now an octilion times better. Though I'm not expecting anything more than slowpoke, the tentacool of IoA beach.

GEN 4 REMAKES AND A MEGA

This image is from official Sword and Shield website. Nothing new, this was added to the site when they first announced expansion pass.
Here it says there will be "New regional forms", plural. And it is true for isle of armor. Slowpoke, Slowbro, Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres. We know only 5 for now. And god knows if there will be more. But for the crown tundra expansion pass, this statement confirms there will be more regional form other than just Slowking. If there isn't any, that means this statement is wrong.

I wanna believe that they are holding back with the trailers and there are more content that already shown. Please Game Freak i beg you, don't blew up this.

 

[Eeveely]

The legendary birds are for CT btw

Oh my oh my. So this is another day where i am stupid as clobbopus. My bad. I was just desperately trying to prove what i choose to believe, more galarian form and more content.

I feel like if either of the expansions had more galarian forms than just the slowbro line and the birds, we would've at least seen one or two now. I can get them wanting to withhold information similar to Sw/Sh pre-release, but from january till now, they've basically done 3 trailers going over the same content and not showing anything new. :/

It's clear that their marketing strategy is to reveal as little as possible so that there will be more to discover for yourself upon starting the game for the first time.

That doesn't mean we'll get to see new Galarian forms. Not even the datamines hint towards it.

All we had datamined so far are new moves and items.

Remember that with the exception of the ORAS demo datamine, these things come incomplete.

 

[RileyXY1]

Remember that with the exception of the ORAS demo datamine, these things come incomplete.

And also, we don't even have a datamine of new Pokemon and forms yet. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

Galarian forms do get unique abilities and/or moves nowadays, though. Those haven't been found.

So, I don't think the ol' "absence of evidence, is no evidence"-argument really holds. It's kind of a fallacy.

Anyway, we'll see within two weeks.

Again, datamines don't come with full data unless it's for a released product.

Home is a released product that got updated recently. Point being, what are the odds of a new Galarian form slipping past all the datamines, trailers and other stuff.

I think those odds are very small, especially if we take into consideration that expansions are quite like third versions; A minimum of new Pokémon. New Pokémon are also made more unique than ever, almost warranting at least a new ability or a new move.
