Official Pokémon Sword and Shield speculation thread (Updated June 5th, 2019)

I never won any Battle Frontier badges, but I kept playing anyway because the different battle formats were fun.

Masuda-san needs to read this.

Getting more and more votes for battle frontier, nice! Maybe we'll be surprised and SW/SH has a battle frontier after all. Let me dream, okay

I just realised something, and I know this is out of subject as I can't find the right forum... but In Pokemon Platinum, when Gardenia said at the villa''what if there's a Grass-Type Ghost Pokemon. What then?'' I think she's referring to is Mow Rotom at the Old Chateau.

That's....kind of absolutely not related to Sword/Shield?

I know, that's why I said it's out of subject. I can't find where to post it.

I was hoping that Sword and Shield would use the brighter colouring for the 3D models that debuted in the 'Let's Go' games... That doesn't appear to be the case based on game footage thus far, which I'm really disappointed by.

You have good taste.

The style difference isn't a deal breaker to me, but if Game Freak think they needed to change the Go/LGPE textures at the expense of something more important, then eh.

 

[Boss1708]

SwSh Pokémon models are the same shit we've been seeing ever since XY except more polished with every new game.

LGPE on the other hand, felt graphically fresh to me, probably because the models don't have outlines.

Either way, it's a matter of personal taste. I just hope future hypothetical Let's Go games follow LGPE in the no outlines regard.

Actually sw/sh brought back vibrant colours. Let's go ones look brighter because the lighting is unreal/plastic. What I mean is that It's not the colours but the lighting.

The end result is what matters.

Here's something clever that might lighten up the mood on this sight.

P.S. I think we might be getting the middle evolutions of the starters soon:

Has Staryu appeared in any Sword and Shield material yet or is that a comparison of Let’s Go and something else?

 

[Velvet]

So we are getting Starter evos soon?

Raboot?

 

[blitzle stan]

The Twitter posts here that mention info that lined up with the dynamax leak also mentions that we'll see the first evolutions in August. Things continue to seem true.

Hibunny? I realize this is Google Translate, but I like that name.

It’s an almost accurate romanisation considering it’s google translate. Bulbapedia lists it as Hibanny.

 

[blitzle stan]

Hibanii. Hi, fire. Banii, the English word bunny. Firebunny.

 

[Silktree]

It works for me.

I hope fans use the survey to voice their complaints seriously.

 

[Boss1708]

I reaaaaalllyyyyyyy wanted to make this post easier to read by bolding certain parts of the text, but for some reason none of my text options work (e.g. Bold, Italics, Underline, Choose Smilies). I asked about this before but I got ignored Not sure why they're not working anymore, sorry. Maybe it's not working for anybody?

Hey, I may be able to help you. I think if non of your text options are working, you may need to click on the last one of them (the one that is shaped like a gear).
