SwSh Sword & Shield: Expansion Pass

Galar Dex: 321 old Pokemon, 80 new Pokemon (890)
IoA Dex: 160 old Pokemon, 40 new Pokemon (910-930)
CD Dex: 160 old Pokemon, 40 new Pokemon (930-950)

Just simple guesses, but worth noting that they will push the dex beyond 900 for new Pokemon.
I will quote the main site: ..."Get ready to meet a a lively array of diverse Pokémon, from newly discovered Legendary Pokémon and new regional forms to familiar Pokémon that have been seen living in other regions!"...

New legendaries? Yes. New regional forms? Also mentioned. Nothing about new, regular species, though.
 
Im sure march will be the month they will reveal the new mythical pokemon since it is usually the month they reveal the mythical for the new movie and as we see Pokemon Coco might be a very interesting movie... also currently the dex is at 890 with the dataminers leak info of 898 creature slots that makes sense that we have 5 new pokemon(Kubfu, Urshifu, Calyrex and 2 Regi) for expansion pass(galarian form not included) and have 3 mythicals. USUM did add only 5 new pokemon one of which is mythical then LGPE add 2 more...
 
What's wrong with not having returning characters, I just find Galar empty without them. That's like saying Gen 5 was the best for having original Pokemon for that region, and would have been better if they didn't have any of the old Pokemon or old characters in it at all.

As for Pokemon being in the expansions, I'm only guessing to how many Pokemon we'll get. Probably new evolution, but hardly any new ones.
 
People raising their hopes for returning caracters
We never learn enough

To be fair, it's not exactly unlikely. Until SwoShi, literally every game in the series other than RSE featured an explicit appearance by a character from a previous game (GSC = tons because they were sequels; FRLG = Janine (mistranslated in the English version though), Sevii/Johto Team Rocket; DPP = Jasmine, Prof. Oak; HGSS = Primo, Maylene, Wake, Steven, Cynthia, Giovanni, Wilma, the Stat Trainers and Frontier Brains from Platinum; BW = Caitlin, Looker, Cynthia, the funny Rocket grunt; B2W2 = Everyone Is Here!; XY = Looker, the Karate King, one of Mr. Backlot's maids (specifically, Elena); ORAS = Mr. Bonding, Looker; SM = Grimsley, Colress, Cynthia, Wally, Red, Blue, Dexio, Sina, Looker, Anabel, Burnet; USUM = all those plus the Rainbow Rocket bosses; LGPE = Archer, Mina). The current entries are very much an outlier in that regard (although I actually rather like that, personally).

B2W2 = Everyone Is Here!
...Except the Elite Four.
Was he? I thought he was only added for the post-game Kanto birds thing
No, he's the one that gives you the Nat Dex, and you also meet him in the Pal Park.

EDIT: He also gives you an Upgrade IIRC, too.
 
Hey, I want returning characters. It's nice seeing cameos, and bonus if they actually use their reappearances to flesh them out. It makes the games feel connected, too. But I'd like some lesser-known characters to make cameos, like Marlon or Eusine, over more Looker.
 
With how close Galar should be to Kalos they should have at least one returning character from that region(Hopefully AZ) or maybe bring back Looker
 
Make it Lysandre. We all thought he was dead. But no - he survived the wreckage, and amassed a new Team Flare, operating under the guise of Macro Cosmos, using Rose as a pawn. And now they are ready to be dispersed around the globe, with an army of Dynamax Pokémon at their disposal.

Meanwhile, Rose reveals to Sonia the identity of her father... :eek:

Please, don't give Televisa new ideas for their soap operas. "La Rosa de Guadalupe" was bad enough.

Tune in next week to 'As Galar Turns' for the shocking revelation!
 
Looks as if we'll probably get ''Team Plasmic Flame' in The Crown Tundra, Ghetsis and Lysandre teaming up to harness the power of Calyrex and the legendary Pokemon found in Galar.
