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.

There’s enough rarity that trading can be accomplished regardless.

Examples? Other than Starter Pokémon, I can't think of any. I guess the gift egg from Daycare in Gen 2 as well, but we haven't seen things like that since.

You do know Sword and Shield represents the UK which is what the "Galar" region is based off of right?

Yes still doesn't make it a good name.

 

[Xzi]

Yes still doesn't make it a good name.

Not the best naming scheme, but by no means is it the worst either. I mean, we could've gotten Pokemon Fork and Pokemon Spoon.

 

[AiP24]

yes, now I can go and fight 100000000 zubat type pokemon in that cave.

Ralag?

RALAGALAGALAGALAGALAGALAGALAG

We are what we're supposed to be
Illusions of pixel fantasy

All bits and lines that speak and say
What we do is what you wish to do

We are the digital symphony
We do the things you wanna see
byte by byte, to the extreme

We came out of a creative mind - oh-oh-oh
And walked out on a Nintendo Gameboy

Our creators are so unreasonable
Our games are quite predictable
All pictures and lines that speak and say
What we do is what you wish to do

We are the Pokemon Series - oh-oh-oh
We are the ones who're gonna last forever!

 

[Noctosphere]

Could those be thte emblematic pokemon?

Though, in the anime, they compare Rampardos to a spear instead of a sword...

I said that several posts ago lol.

Great minds think alike.

 

[raxadian]

Great minds think alike.

And then3n we would get Pokemon Spork.

 

[Jacklack3]

I mean, it's kind of boring. I bet it's still really fun but it's generic imo.

 

[Xzi]

Was wondering what people meant by sun and moon, but then I forgot about the 4k or high-rez versions of the 3DS games and damn, that's the truth.

Nah, that still looks way uglier because of resolution-capped textures and backgrounds. That grass/sky is practically 8-bit, and Greninja's tongue stripe/the Pokeball display look like they were run through a Windows 95 JPEG machine. The textures themselves have to be at least 720p before simply uprezzing them to 4K will do any good.

It was mainly about the models, nothing else.

I suppose my point is that once we have the capability, uprezzing Sword and Shield to 4K is gonna look a lot sexier than that in every way, trainer/Pokemon models included.

 

[AsPika2219]

Wow.... Nice name Nintendo! Pokemon is now using Sword and Shield! Just likes a real RPG games!

 

[andyhappypants]

Really like the look of what I just saw

Not sure but i heard people around saying
Nintendo is done doing super version
Like yellow, crystal, emerald and platinum

 

[Deleted User]

NOPE

Right, now they just do two super games instead of one. Like Black and White 2 and Ultra Sun and Moon, because money dear boy.

And is Gamefreak, not Nintendo.

Nintendo shares of Pokemon are quite low and they don't have that much creative control over it.

As for ultra sun and moon, i dont really consider as a super version
Idk how to consider it though
Maybe as how sun and moon should have been from the beginning
As for b2w2, its a sequel, not a super version
Super version usually have an emblematic pokemon too
For example, super version of black and white would be gray/grey, kyurem
Super version of x and y would be z, zygarde

You see my point?
