Pokemon Sword & Shield GENERAL DISCUSSION Thread [Spoilers]

[DatsRight]

Like they called back to a discarded evolution from beta Gen 2. Now if we can just get Meowth's 'baby' evolution.

While Sirfetch'd looks pretty good (the full on sword motif fits with the whole leek thing), is it bad I'm more hopeful we get the Eviolite this series so we can buff Farfetch'd at last like we could Sneasel and Murkrow?

 

[DannyDark]

Is there a famous painting in England between two knights?

I mean.. no particular ones come to mind cos I'm not so cultured.. but obviously the famous story and imagery is of George and the Dragon? So I suppose a counterpart could be /Dragon?

 

[sketchersmeargle]

Though if we are getting Escavalier, that would beg the question of we are getting a new Accelgor.

 

[WhiteBlair]

Hm. Maybe that is why Escavalier was intentionally hidden behind that explosion, in case if it has a Galarian form:

Actually, nevermind. From a zoomed-in point, you can see it resembles normal Escavalier:

 

[DSDark]

Fairy/Fire Spritze <333333333

What?

 

[XanderCage]

I saw it mentioned but a Skarmory evolution that becomes more defensive and loses the ability of flight would be an nice counterpart.

 

[sketchersmeargle]

I think the relation to Escavalier is purely because it is the only other jousting-like Pokemon.

Looks like one of those dumb awesome explosion action scenes.

 

[greninjamaster]

I guess Shield could get Galarian Persian but that wouldn't go with the theme well.

 

[Wulava]

I don't know any. But I think it's actually more of a depiction of Jousting.

Hate to be the bringer of bad news, but.

This gif shows regular escavalier.

At least Galar has culture now. Sad they ever did a parody of the Mona Lisa in Kalos

 

[Satoshi & Touko]

Hopefully the games get datamined at least a week before they launch.

This also means that Shelmet and Accelgor are in, because Karrablast and Shelmet cannot evolve without each other.

 

[Sceptrigon]

...I don’t get why Sirfetch’d is exclusive to Sword. It’s carrying both a sword and a shield. I hope Sword doesn’t hog most of the Fighting types.

 

[Fairy Queen]

Really hoping for one of these to get an new evolution and be the counterpart:

Delibird, Luvdisc, Dunsparce, Chatot, or Corsola

 

[Estoico Prometeo]

So this is taken from the English website

"The Farfetch’d of the Galar region can evolve into Sirfetch'd after experiencing many battles."

So Galarian farfetch'd exists. They just choose not to show it. Weird

Doubt, or they shouldn't refer them as "of the galar region" instead of "Galarian"-

A trade evolution that requires a shelmet? That seems unlikely and even then, it'd make more sense to have Galarian Escavalier and Galarian Accelgor over Galarian Escavalier and Sirfetch'd.

Maybe a non trade evolution with another requisite/object. It would be weird to give an evolution with another metod the same name as seen in Alola.

...I don’t get why Sirfetch’d is exclusive to Sword. It’s carrying both a sword and a shield. I hope Sword doesn’t hog most of the Fighting types.

I was thinking the same.. whether Sword will get all the offensive exclusives and Shield would get the more defensively inclined ones.

 

[Dragalge]

...I don’t get why Sirfetch’d is exclusive to Sword. It’s carrying both a sword and a shield. I hope Sword doesn’t hog most of the Fighting types.

Probably because its green onion is the more used and notable weapon of the Farfetch’d line.

I think so
