Official Pre-Pokémon Sword & Pokémon Shield Speculation & Leaks thread

You can just play FRLG if you only want the original 151.

Also how is Kanto an “isolated” region? There’s another region literally right next to it.

I agree with this too! I would be disappointed with no new evolutions for the Kanto Pokemon. There would be plenty of missed opportunities; but, to give the original Kanto Pokemon unique habitats and behaviors for the first time might make up for it.

In the original presentation of Kanto and Johto, the Pokemon seemed to stay specific to each region due to the Indigo Plateau.

Well it doesn't have to be a full on tyranny, just make Team Rocket more rampant. Looting homes as payment, shaking down citizens for pokemon. Turning them up to 11 so to speak. And the law can't touch him. Only person that can beat him and his Mewtwo is you.

We already defeated him in USUM. If he shows up again, it will be in another world (not the one where he won) and I can only hope that the circumstances are much different than "I am going to build a UB army" and that defeating him isn't the climax again.

Let's not forget Pokémon is for kids.

I find it funny how we were trying to predict whether we would hit 500 pages or the announcement first. Now we are at 600 pages, and the rumor is that announcement is this upcomming week. Let's hope!

Well, the second one is scheduled for 2018, so...

 

[Silktree]

All of three game should be revealed by E3. Chances are that only LGPE will be released this year, as the holiday is preferred for Pokemon games but not the relatively niche Nintendo games.

 

[SinnohEevee]

Like true trolls, GF will announce the new games at the last moment of the E3.

Smash, Pokemon, Metroid, Bayonetta and Yoshi. A normal heart can't stand all those titles in 6 months.

We literally had a game where a man attempted to commit genocide, and died last gen. Kids aren't dumb or weak minded, they're more aware of serious topics than people give them credit for. Having a bunch of thugs being thuggish is tame compared to that.

Well, genocide was kinda generic if you consider that this gen we had a crazy mother freezing pokemon, yelling at her children and trying to get rid of them Not counting, it was our best friend's mum, clearly.

Actually.... remember that e3 lineup leak?? I believed it, as did others, but many detractors pointed to the Yoshi title (Yoshi's Flipping Island) being too inappropriate for the audience. I'm sure that won't be the title, bit the trailer featured on the Yoshi Nintendo site literally shows a FLIPbook type level build... Pokemon was on that list too. Just found it noteworthy.

Nooo....after 11 months we're finally at that point when "next week" actually means that the announcement will be next week? Really? It was a funny game to play...god saves the community if it's not next week


P.s. you know it's gonna be on the 31st, right? Cause they want us in pain till the last day available.

Have we ever gotten a Game annoucement on the day of an anime episode. If not, the 30rd is the last possible date.

That's arbitrary logic if I ever saw one. If anything, an anime episode could be a good opportunity to point out to kids that there's news online.

Not the game you were expecting, but well here it is

Not to mention, Ghetsis straight up threatened to kill Lillie even after losing the Pokemon fight while most other people are like "ah, oh no, you defeated me. Now I am powerless and must run away/stop what I am doing."

Being a 'kid's game' doesn't mean you can't explore darker and more realistic topics like parental abuse and 1st degree murder.

Explored? Very briefly and superficially. Right after Lysandre died(?) no one gave him a second thought, and similarly, Lillie forgave Lusamine very quickly.

That is not comparable to an entire region feeling threatened for most of the game. Only the climax has ever felt somber.

I don't think so...
