Spoilers New Pokemon and more discoveries

I'm super hyped about this. I'm excited that Allister is going to be in Shield, because that's the gym leader that I liked a little more (I always like the aesthetic of ghost type trainers), and Shield is the game I was planning on getting anyways. Gigantamaxing looks pretty cool. I'm really looking forward to playing this game and seeing exactly how these things work.

 

I'm more hyped after seeing that. Something you didn't mention is that we saw a few more old gen Pokémon that'll be in SwSh, which are Maractus, Hitmontop (possibly a Sword exclusive), Gigalith and Mimikyu. There might be more, but those are the ones that I noticed.

 

I'm very excited for this! So even though there's a couple of stuff that I saw in a leak that turned out to be a bit right, I'm still pretty interested in Gigantamaxing and hope that older Pokémon that you see in Max Raid Battle clips are capable of it too like with Mega Evolution (which I am sure will be in the game but in postgame).

Spoiler

the way they introduce the typical gym challenge and league is really interesting, kind of resembles a lot of UK football terms like the different leagues and sponsors and the Champion's Cup probably being a recerence to how every football tournament I have heard of is called a Cup lol

I have way too many thoughts on all of the new info so Imma keep it brief but one thing for sure -- I am so excited to see the Deino line will be in the version I am picking!!

 

still indecisive on which version to get but I'm leaning towards sword

 

-I'm so hyped! I'll probably say that for every Sword and Shield reveal, but I'm genuinely excited for these games.
-The ghost type gym leader is all the more reason for me to get Shield! I love his/her design, especially the mask.
-Of the 3 new Pokémon introduced, Alcreme is my favorite. It's cute and sugary.
-Gigamaxing looks pretty cool. I guess that's what they meant by the Dynamax Pokémon having completely different models.

 

- Alcremie is friend-shaped and I will protect each and every one with my life
- I kind of feel like they could've just gone with Megas again here. Would make sense since both Galar and Kalos are based off countries in the same continent and make it a continent thing.
- Version-exclusive gyms? That sounds like a good way to make the two of them a little different.
- Duraldon also looks amazing! These new Pokémon designs look pretty cool. I like the idea of Rolycoly.

 

Tbh the ones that I really like at this point are Corviknight and Duraludon. I'm counting on Dreadnaw and Rolycoly to have neat evolutions though, otherwise I'll probably be disappointed in them.
Despite the whole national dex thing (which isn't that big of a deal to me), I'm pretty hyped for the games.
The gym leader and version exclusives solidify my decision to go with Sword, as Hydreigon and Kommo-o will be solid additions to my team and they're some of my favorite dragons.

 

I like the new Pokémon and both gym leaders look interesting. Might be a tad unpopular but I do appreciate that they put in different content for both games outside of just Version exclusive Pokémon, which makes the two version thing more justifiable in the current day and age of gaming.

Actually, most contests are called leagues. However, Champions Cup is probably oriented by the Champions League, which basically the biggest club-based football tournament in the world, which works out with how big this league seems to be sold, roaring crowds in Stadiums and all.

 

Rolycoly was the only Pokémon I really liked in this trailer. Yamper looks slightly better in it's official artwork but is still a bad design imo, Alcremie is ok but a bit generic, and Daruladon looks horrendously bad.
Not a fan of the gigantimax gimmick. Can't believe megas got kicked for this... Gigantimax Alcremie looks alright, while the other gigantimax forms look bad (especially Drednaw. Yikes).
The gym leaders look cool and we're probably the only parts of the trailer I liked. Chairman Rose looks generic, but I've got a feeling he'll be a villain or something.
Overall still not impressed with the look of these games, and the lackluster graphics mixed with dexit means I definitely won't be buying them.
