I was very happy with what was revealed during this direct. Although I admit that I haven't taken a liking to dynamaxing yet as much as I originally did with Mega Evolution and Z moves, mainly because it seems that it is all but officially confirmed that we'll never get another new mega evolution again (Dragonite has gotten ripped off, being the original 'Pseudo Legendary' that gets nothing) or any new Z moves. I'm sure I'll grow to enjoy the mechanic once I start using it though.
I'm also not a fan of how Zacian holds onto a sword in his mouth. I would have preferred if Zacian had blades implemented into it's design just like how Zamazenta has a shield implemented into it. To me, it just feels weird seeing Zacian like that.
I'm also worried that we will in fact be forced to wear certain outfits during gym battles. I hated ride gear in Gen VIII and having to wear it every time we used a ride Pokémon, but if we have to be forced to wear an outfit for every gym battle, that will irritate me more than I should. With that being said, I have a strong feeling that the customisation and clothing options in this game will be much better than SM/USUM, which will make me happy.
Other than that, I really enjoyed everything else. The region looks great (I hope I no longer see people on the internet complain that Sword and Shield looks the same as Sun and Moon) and the Pokémon that wander around the wild look really good as well. Having a free roam camera on the 'wild areas' in between cities is also great, and a good step forward towards a more open world game one day with free roaming cameras in the entire game. Having 'raids' that you can compete in with real players seems like a cool idea as well, and I enjoy seeing a new feature that connects us with players for more than just battling and trading.
Corviknight looks great as well.
