SwSh Sword & Shield: Expansion Pass

[Grass Type Gardenia]

I'll come back to you in june.

Make that the end of the year. The Crown Tundra hasn't revealed much yet with The Isle of Armor coming out first.

The first one will probably set some sort of pattern, anyway.

Anyway, speculation is different than a whole thought-out scenario with specific new Pokémon. The latter is more like fanfiction to me, yes.

stop calling our speculations ''fanfiction'' when all it is is based on likelihoods to what likely be in the DLCs based on past contents. There's nothing wrong with guessing. To call it fanfic is like what many of the fake leakers are writing right now.

I'm pretty sure you already gave potential names to "potential" new fossils; yeah, that's fanfic to me.

To each their own, of course, but that's not speculation in my dictionary.

There's a line indicating no new Pokémon except for legendary Pokémon.

They literally did not say that. Which fan-fiction are you reading?

they're guesses, it doesn't mean that they're complete fact.

Read that screenshot I sent a few posts back.

Read it and I definitely didn't see the words "no new Pokémon except for legendary Pokémon."

still January though. Wait for a few more months and then we'll see what's in these DLCs

From what I see in the official Pokémon site:

"Many Pokémon that didn’t appear in Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield make their homes on the Isle of Armor and the Crown Tundra. Get ready to meet 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? Mentioned.
Returning Pokémon? Mentioned.
New Galarian forms? Mentioned.
Nothing about new regulars.
There's no mystery, no hints, no ambiguity... It's just a very clear list of what IS included. Other new species would've been mentioned or teased or even showcased. New legendaries, returning Pokémon and Galarian forms have all been seen in the trailer. Those are the set categories.

I'm sure the sentence would've been different if new non-legendary lines were included, as they've mentioned everything else.

Just to be clear; I would've liked other new Pokémon; I always like more Pokémon. It's just that the information we have kind of kills this idea, as it surely would've been mentioned otherwise OR that sentence on the site would've been worded differently.

Yes, I took a screenshot of that a page back.

Nothing about new regulars.

As far as I'm aware, they've never used language like "regular" but as you mentioned, there's nothing about them (whether there will or will not be any) so I really don't see how you can say conclusively that there won't be any new non-legendary pokemon at all?

Besides, can the properly assembles fossils be considered new? They are already there... I wouldn't call their proper forms new pokemon.

 

[Grass Type Gardenia]

Yes, I took a screenshot of that a page back.

haven't you read the rest aside from just that one paragraph?

 

[TdDBergamo96]

Probably pretty low chances on both accounts. These are both open-world areas like the wild area and the Wild Area only ever had 1 roaming training in it. We may see the same for each of the new areas but I doubt it would be more than 1 if any.

I don’t think the DLC will be benough to have an entirely new major plot with a third evil team.


I don’t think we’re getting any new fossils in the DLC, but I would like to see their lore/backstories expanded upon in a future game.

Id still disagree

Yes these maps are seemless like the wild area but these have something the first doesnt More areas.

" Beaches, Bogs, Forests, Caves and Dunes "

I find it hard to believe for an expansion based around growth they wouldn't put at least some npc's scattered around to aid that growth.

Now that said do i think there will be tons no i dont but i do see at least more than 1 roaming npc like in the first wild area.

It validates my point even more, so I'm not sure what you're aiming for:

There's simply no category for non-legendary new Pokémon.

@SerenaToAlola Of course they won't say 'there are no new non-legendary Pokémon' or something. Them not being mentioned, or shown, or hinted (not even barely!) is already 'some' evidence of their apparent exclusion.

Just because it's not written now doesn't mean it's already concrete.

There's absolutely no reason why they would leave it out completely, without a hint or nod or ambiguity, even.

That's because they are wanting to surprise us.
