Gotta agree with them, there are like... too many Pokemon. Just add fewer per generation, yo.

They've been adding less and less for the last couple gens. It's been a while since the feast that was Gen V.

They have been. Every time you get a ton of people complaining about how few there are or calling things like Aloha forms lazy.

I stand corrected. Somehow it still feels like too many every time, though. Maybe because each gen they have a bunch of non-distinctive designs. Like here, I love that sheep but they could have made it any number of ways more distinct from Mareep.

We assumed the Sun legendary would be Fire type, and the Moon legendary to be Dark (or Fairy if your into old Pokemon lore). Nope. Psychic/Steel and Psychic/Ghost. I am expecting a similar swerve with the Sword/Shield legendareis in that neither will be Steel. So, like, Fighting and Fairy or something weird like that.

I don't mind that the new gimmick is just making pokemon bigger since at least it means that you'll be able to do it to all thousand or so, rather than only the special few

I will never log offshut up.


So after getting to watch the direct
Sword is the superior version and anyone who buys shield is dumb
Also I like the idea of giant enemy kaiju but I really don't like you doing it to your pokemon
I actually liked Z moves thematically and making your pokemon huge doesn't appeal to me, same way mega-evos don't. But oh well not like I have to use it.

The wild area sounds like the testing ground for their next iteration of a more seamless overworld.
It'd also be cool if they do events that change the pokemon you can find there

They still do this when the Zubats are on the screen though? Especially in the LG model where pokemon can spawn under your feet for unavoidable battles anyways.

If there's anything more important than my ego around, I want it caught and shot now.
Ugh "Dynamaxing" is like the mega-evolutions but even sillier.

The game mostly looks pretty great, its the most technically impressive Pokemon by far. A full handheld pokemon RPG + full 3D console Pokemon Stadium.

Am I the only one who thinks the environments look really low-poly and basic? Its like they're still designing handheld games. This is Switch, its not a PS4/Xbox but comeon we can do better than this...

At least the environments look gigantic, and full of cool pokemon in the overworld, so that's a nice improvement.
