​

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.

to clarify Germany has many mountains and there is an icelike region south germany is like that....so it could be based of germany but i dont think so

it could also be a mixup from many locations ? no specofic region
.. only a mashup

What'd I say? A new entry for the Switch.
But I can't help to think it's been made with the "Let's go" engine?

It most likely is the Let's Go engine. Gamefreak tends to make one engine per console generation and just continue to update that engine until the next console generation.

Are you sarcastic because you saw my region flag or do you just fullfill a certain English stereotype here (that one with a obsession)?

It was sarcasm due to your flag, yes

I love it so far. The only thing that I wish for this game, is that they have enough new Pokémon to not get drowned out or over looked by all of the older Pokémon in the game like Gen 6 and 7

from the trailer of so many old pokemons im guessing it will be again like 70-80 new ones and the rest old ones.

then clearly you didn't listen.
you're supposed to AVOID THE NOID

I guess it is fair, not to drop so many new Pokemon for each game now. Although, I wouldn't want it to decrease too much.

i miss the days where we always got 120+, now if we get 70 we are lucky and those 70 many are evolutions and stuff so fully evolved we get like ~50

x,y fully evolved pokemons that were new is 36
sun moon fully evolved list is 51(thanks to so many ultra beasts tough)

I wonder if they will allow trading from 3ds to the switch..

Just gonna say, Skorbunny really isn't any worse of a name than Charmander or Torchic were. They both just as lazily named (Charmander=Char+(Sala)mander and Torchic=Torch+Chick). Skorbunny just doesn't flow as well, but it's not any lazier as far as actual naming convention goes.

You'll be able to use PokeBank to transfer everything from the 3ds to the Switch, but not back again.
That's what they built PokeBank for.

I will pay for it once, move all of my modded pokemon over.. and then never pay for it again....

If you're ready to pay now you will be ready to pay again for the next moveing. It's such convenient too
