They want to get rid of the complications to make the game more simplified for online battles.

You guys ready for more bad news?

If you thought Dexit was bad, wait 'til you hear about what's happening to some moves... "This move can’t be used. It’s recommended that this move is forgotten. Once forgotten, this move can’t be remembered." -Kaphontics dataminer

GameFreak has scrubbed all other entries for species outside the 435, which includes any potential Mythicals (event). But they forgot to change the max species ID in the code, hinting that there are 2 new Mythicals in the future (DLC?) -Kaphontics dataminer

Beyond the known count in the Galar Dex, there are 35 other species that have stats and models (which explains Melmetal sprite). Kanto & Alola starters, and some legendaries. 435 species available in total! -kaphontics

This only means that they indeed use Sun & Moon as a base. It doesn't mean they're in the game. So again they lied when they said they redid models.

wtf are they playing at

The excuse of going to a new gen of console can't be used.

If the games so big and implementing all Pokemon is hard, they should've delayed it

These are all the Sprites from the game. Some Pokemon that were scrapped are here...

The ones that are there is this

They're not there just "foreign" data as the game describes them.

For those confused what this means, this prevents the model from showing up as shiny AND prevents the actual PKM you obtain from being shiny. This is the same as the situation in LGPE.

Also they went back to shiny locking the overworld mons

"As usual with models shown in the overworld, the legendaries and starters you can obtain in-game are shiny locked." -kaphontics

For move stat changes, the LGPE alterations were reverted. Rapid Spin now does more... raises the user’s Speed stat, and is now 50 power (up from 20). Multi-Attack (Silvally) is now 120 power (up from 90).

Yup. Too seriously if they be out here making death threats.

It's not like the whole fan base is doing that, it's always a handful that act out that way, no different from music to sports, there's always a small group of diccheads that take things too far

if you dont have a switch lite you are unable to say that!!
TAKE IT BACK

Game freak saying f*** Stealth Rock

So are you guys picking this up?
Cause it looks to me like gamefreak is taking their fanbase foregranted and figured they were gonna print money no matter what they did

in a few

Infinite TMs are largely replaced by single use TMs you get from raids

Yay

Pokémon Sword and Shield have 435 Pokémon programmed in the game, including the Bulbasaur line, Squirtle line, Mew, Mewtwo, Celebi, Jirachi, Cobalion, Terrakion, Virizion, Keldeo, Reshiram, Zekrom, Kyurem, Rowlet line, Litten line, Popplio line, Cosmog, Solgaleo, Lunala, Necrozma, Marshadow, Zeraora, Meltan, and Melmetal. Gigantamax Snorlax, Gigantamax Gengar, Gigantamax Toxtricity, Gigantamax Sandaconda, and Gigantamax Melmetal are also seen in the sprite datamine.

This goes beyond the 400 Pokémon known to be in the Galar Dex. It isn’t known how these Pokémon will be made available to players.

While Game Freak “scrubbed” all other entries for species outside the 435 ones mentioned above, they “forgot to change the max species ID in the game,” suggesting that a possible two new Mythical Pokémon could be coming in the future.

bro stealth rock is still in the game, its still gonna get spammed in battle lol

Shout-out to the leaker and dataminers. Just more proof that GameFreak is making the game too easy.

More like it just shows they're not prioritizing the games and doing a real half ass job each gen. It's no way this game should be this barebones.

They really removed 569 moves

Finally playing

Why

This legitimately looks like a Wii era Tales game
