Are you ready, Pokemon fans? It's almost time to see what Nintendo has in store for the next generation of Pokemon. Once the video goes live, we'll be covering the announcements made during the seven minute long Direct. Stay tuned to see what gets revealed.

Footage is shown for the next Pokemon game, running on the Nintendo Switch. New locations, areas, and trainers are shown. The starters have been revealed as well. Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield are the latest titles.

​

Both games will take place in the Galar region which will have old and new Pokemon. Grookey, Scorbunny, and Sobble are the starters' names. Wild Pokemon battles are back. Worldwide release planned for Late 2019.

I really like the protag designs they look nice. Especially the female ones hair style, its pretty cute

 

[Deleted member 412537]

I want the bunny!!

 

[DuoForce]

Man I'm disappointed the battles arent on par with Battle revolution. The one thing I really wanted to see. Oh well ): starter pokemon look like fakemon

 

[Kioku]

Got to watch it later. At work. I just have two questions ? Are gyms back and battling wilds? The second I could live without but would prefer it. As for the first?....I won’t play another mainline game without gyms.

There better be gyms..

 

[Longshot56]

Don't curse the damn thing to that fate!

Maybe, there's a new type called Jumping and it'll be Fire-Jumping? I mean, prolly not but it's just my idea. I hope it isn't fire-fighting, it's too cute for that.

 

[Beerus]

idk the game looks like a reskin of sun and moon, also i like sobble and scorbunny. but please bring back gyms

 

[Tom Bombadildo]

Whew, those starter designs look meh.

I'll still play it anyways, doubt I'll buy it though

 

[AmandaRose]

damn still no definite release date maybe by e3 we'll know, but what interest me is he said they wern't the only games for Pokemon in 2019? could this mean sinnoh remakes too can't wait to find out

They ain't gonna commit to a realese date at this stage simply incase they miss it. They don't want bad headlines from angry mums. For example

You said pokemon would be out on Sept 23rd and its now Sept 23rd and my poor son little Noctosphere is locked in his room crying his eyes out you bastards all because you failed to get the game out in time ect ect lol

 

[Deathwing Zero]

There ARE gyms. Did none of you watch it or pay any attention? As for wild battles, the "trailer" made it look like there are wild battles, but it's way too easy to fake that so we'll have to wait and see.

 

[CHEMI6DER]

The games look cool! Only I thought there was something off when I saw the trailer...and now I've realised that the outlines are gone!they're just made much thinner and I didn't notice it on the small screen of my tablet and with all the compression on the stream lol

Good thing these didn't take after LGPE or it would've been a total disaster...

Also I guess we're not getting metric units in the "international" english releases cause it's based on Britain....why does TCPi think that all english speaking players use imperial units!?!?

 

[PolloDiablo]

The Brexit region looks really cool.

Lokos like both gyms and wilds are back. haven't seen the ui or any new mechanics yet though.

Exactly the 3 names are totally shit and show a lack of imagination or like you say they have just stopped trying.

Shut up and take my money!

Even the name Pokemon Sword and Shield is a bit rubbish and has a lack of imagination to it. In a few years they will follow it up with Pokemon Knive and Fork and a special edition will be brought out a few months later called Pokemon Spoon lol.
