BOYCOTT SWORD AND SHIELD

jk

The pokedex looks boring and most of those pokemons are from other games?

What kinda ruined Pokemon Sun and Moon for me was the s*** pokedex. Seeing the same old boring pokemon over and over again smh

my fav pokemon

I dont understand how putting all the pokemon in the game will make it cost $70. Dragon Quest is $60, Zelda is $60, Xenoblade is $60.
They're arguing that to put all the pokemon in the game it'll take 64 GB of game space? That just doesn't sound right to me.

Even if it does and they have to use the 64 GB cartridge. Just keep it at $60. It's going to sell 10 million + copies regardless. They act like these are some games that won't sell well so they can't risk higher production costs

over 1/4 of that Dex are all-new to Sword/Shield

Imma wait for people to datamine the games and see if there are any pokemon coded into the game that aren’t in the Pokédex

Mawile gang entering the thread

I'll let you in on this. Game Freak is using the 32 GB cart. They didn't even use HALF of that cart. And selling it for $60

Besides the Pressumed mythical there isn't anymore Pokemon coded in. The other Pokemon are gone and won't be back until the next game.

Out of 400 Pokemon only 84 are new. 102 if you count the Galar forms and gigantamax. That's still a lot of old pokemon

Yeah Gamefreak really dropped the ball on this one. But I like almost all the new Pokémon so I’m gonna get it

Highly doubt there’s too much grinding

A mechanic that used to be an item called exp. share is always on which means your entire party gets points for every battle

So did they basically take out Pokémon and replace them with recipes and different shirts and pants?

Aight, that would make it a bit better Thanks for the info.

Morale at Game Freak is low.

Sad if true. I can understand fans frustrations due to this nee title and lack of Pokemon.
But the threats etc are so uncalled for

gonintendo.com/stories/348697-rumor-morale-at-game-freak-at-an-all-time-low

Didnt their other title little town or whatever flop with critics and fans?

Nah the threats died down a long while ago, this has to do with the realization that town flopped and SwSh probably will be the lowest selling game in the series.

Now of course "low-selling" is still over 10 million, and i personally think it will at least sell at least 15 million, beating out LGPE, but the damage has been done. Had Matsuda just not mentioned the cut im sure all of this backlash wouldnt have happened. Moreso, they havent even made a statement about this in Japan, so no idea how its going to be handled there; the Japanese are very resistant to change

I mean when you disappoint a lot of people that is typically what happens lol. Let's hope they take this and reflect and do better on the next one.

okay but it hasn't been datamined yet so you really can't be sure...doesn't really matter what you feel does it?

i said 1/4 of 4 (102) are all-new to Sw/Sh

dope explanation tho man 👌🏻

can i still trade to myself using a single 3ds? got a graveler on sun i want to get to a golem

was it the GTS or sum?? i don’t remember and ain’t done it on this gen yet

edit: would be trading to my copy of UM obv, not to the same game

They've literally said this multiple times in several interviews that it isn't any Pokemon coded from other regions that's not in the dex. Multiple times. I can't believe this is still being disputed. The only other Pokemon that could be coded is mythicals or hidden legendary.

Yeah you can trade between UM and Sun

but like i only have a 3ds, just tryna put my graveler like up for trade on sun and then i boot up UM and trade for it

do you know where i have to go to do it or how?

i swore i could do it between ruby remake and X/Y. i like put it online for a trade wit sum hella specific (like a lvl 12 hoot hoot or sum s***) that no one would know to snatch it before i did. i swore it was like the GTS but i forget and dunno how to do it wit Sun gen
