The next generation of Pokemon is nearly here, and with the games' imminent release means learning more about what the latest entries have to offer. During the pre-E3 2019 trailer, Nintendo explained the latest mechanic, Dynamaxing. In this video, we learn of how to go even further beyond, with Gigantamax, which not only changes a Pokemon's size, but also its appearance as well. Additionally, Sword and Shield will have differing Gym Leaders, with the former featuring the fighting type Gym and its leader Bea, while the latter instead has a Ghost-type Gym, led by Allister.

The newest reveals for the Galar Dex are Duraludon, a Steel/Dragon, Alcremie, a Fairy-type, Rolycoly, a Rock-type, and the Gigantamax versions of Corviknight and Drednaw.

If you like playing rushed games then by all means go buy two of the same games for $60 each. I’m mad at the exclusion of the National Dex because they’re catering to competitive players, a minority. I along with several others want all Pokémon in the game so we can enjoy it fully. The game looks like absolute shit. What was the point of cutting out Z Moves, Mega Evolutions, and half the Pokémon? The game looks like garbage. By all means if you enjoy being a shill then I won’t stop you. I genuinely hope you enjoy the games when they come out.

I already gave you a possible reason for why they removed z-moves and mega evolutions. Gigamax is basically a combination of the two with less quality. Having a new "gimmick" reduces the amount of strategies and tactics players can reuse and forces them to discover new ones, keeping the experience fresh. People are constantly whining that Pokemon games are repetitive and don't shake up their agenda enough, but when they do try and change things they complain even more.

I also already said I agree about the national dex. Their excuse was stupid and I'll miss certain Pokemon, but I can adapt. My enjoyment for Sword and Shield won't rely on the dex being there or not. Of course, I realize that isn't the same for everyone, and I'm not going to insult those who understandbly don't want to buy either game.

But I won't waste my time arguing with someone who didn't even bother to read my entire post. I will be enjoying Sword and Shield, just like I enjoyed X and Y even though I consider them the worst Pokemon games. Thanks. I hope you enjoy obsessively insulting anyone who dares to like something you don't.

Again: Grow up.

The more I see of these games, the more it makes me want to get Temtem instead. That game actually has some love in the development instead of this recyclefest.

Makes me wish it had singleplayer. The graphics are meh though.

I am going to be optimistic and take these games with a grain of salt, setting aside the exclusion of most pokémon. I will play the games for what they are. As long as I can get my favorite pokémon, I will be a little happier playing them! Still disappointed though, and I am not prepared to defend their decision.

You don't like the decision, do not buy the game. It is the only way to make them see the error of their ways.

Seeing all the memes makes me want to buy Sword and Shield even more.
