Pokemon Sword & Shield GENERAL DISCUSSION Thread [Spoilers]

[Ophie]

You're not a million miles away, more like ten thousand liteyears away.

Heh, I suppose I should explain the joke:

Pictured there is Dante, from Coco, the Pixar film, in his Alebrija form. It's referring to how the next Pokémon movie has "Coco" as its subtitle.

You know, this movie.

I put 3 drilburs in HOME's WT like 3 hours ago, and none of them have been traded yet

Wonder Trades seem to take a long time to occur. I don't really know why. Seems to take overnight, at minimum.

Stills looks more or less the same to me. Now if you want real graphics, check out Pokemon Battle Revolution. Even for a Wii game, it is just absolutely gorgeous.

What I want to see are more varied places to do multiplayer battling in. The one thing that I miss from Pokémon Battle Revolution was that you could fight in a dedicated arena, or in some ruins, or in a cave, or in a grassy field, or by the beach, or a bunch of other places. It was odd seeing the main series game stick strictly to holographic arenas. Letting you battle in the various stadiums and Battle Tower in Sword & Shield was a step in the right direction, but anything that isn't designed as a battling venue (like Max Raid Dens or the Energy Plant) is not available.

Every time I see the half of the silhouette, all I can see is Dragonair’s Head stuck on an Alolan Exeggcutor’s body stuck inside a spring.

I never watched that film to be fair.

looks like dragonair with a snake wrapped around it

As for Coco and Mythical discussion, it seems the character is imitating it; there are obvious similarities:

Well, now that it's 2020 and the game was released, should I buy it?

 

[Captain Jigglypuff]

Yes. It has great gameplay and the new Pokémon are fun to use. Plus the Wild Area allows to get fully evolved powerhouses such as Tyranitar and Gengar without having to train and evolve them.

I saw someone mention Exeggutor alongside that analysis.

After booting Sun and Moon first time in two years, I realized how the graphics look so unappealing and unplayable compared to SWSH. I really appreciate the full HD era we are in.

It happened to me as well... with USUM

 

[Reinhardt]

The Mythical looks decent so far, some kind of monkey/big cat hybrid? Just going by the silhouette I already like it more than Zeraora or Volcanion.

 

[Captain Jigglypuff]

I keep seeing Dragonair on a mismatched body with those wing thingys on its head.

 

[WalesNote]

But what will its type be?

SPECULATION TIME.

 

[wolf jani]

It looks cool. seems to be some sort of primate

For ìt's typing I think some combo of Steel/Dark/Fightning

I could see it being Steel/Fighting or something imo. Metal Claw I can defo see in its moveset with those claws.
But yeah, it does look cool as-is.

EDIT: Full image

Wow. It looks really cool. Looks like a massive Zeraora.

 

[Ignition]

I could see it being a Grass type based on its involvement in the story of the movie

 

[Tsukuyomi56]

From the looks of things the new Pokemon looks to be something based off a monkey. Guessing it could be part Grass-type given its likely habitat is a forest.

 

[British Soul]

Wow. It looks really cool. Looks like a massive Zeraora.

inb4 it's Zeraora Forest forme.

 

[TheWanderingMist]

Hmm, interesting. You know, comparing these Mythicals, Clayrex seems intelligence-focused, the silhouette seems like it's got more of a sheer strength thing going for it, and that would leave Kubshu/Urshifu as the balance between brains and brawn because martial arts needs both.

I don't think Calyrex and Urshifu are supposed to have anything to do with this new Pokémon. They're separate entities. Also, they're not Mythical, as they're not tied to any event.
