Pokemon Sword & Shield GENERAL DISCUSSION Thread [Spoilers]

[Orphalesion]

And I thought the whole Dex will be revealed lol

Expecting a little more than one (1) new Pokemon (however sparkly) in a thing that's 24 hours long was far from unreasonable and far from "excepting the whole dex to be revealed"

 

[rhynosaurus]

I'm more excited for the official site to update with some actual info!

 

[WhiteBlair]

For a day-long livestream, I expected more. Not necessarily for Galarian forms or Pokémon, but a few could be done to flesh it out:

• More Pokémon could've been shown apart from the 5 we've already seen.
• A Trainer lost in the woods with his/her partner Pokémon.
• A bug-type evolving on-screen and flying off.
• A Pokémon, like Impidimp, noticing the camera and hitting it, so it changes direction and starts to show a different section of area.
• A sight of a legendary.
• Team Yell members on a secret mission.
• All in all, more interactive and lively environment without revealing much of Galar Dex.

Guess they really went for the realistic aproach with the nature cam, aswell as keep the pokemon as those who actually show up within the area.

I think the idea was cool, but the execution of it is way too minimal, I agree with WhiteBlair.
An other thing they could have done, could have been an interactive experience.At the end of the day Pokémon is fiction, they easily could have pretended there to be live functioning camera's and once in a while go back to Sonia who talks abotu what we see in a small corner of the live stream. Especially for a franchise that is so global, you want every timezone to be able to partipate and possibly see something new.
I am all for new exciting ways for Pokémon to be revealed but the potential was greater than what is happening now.

I am ready for the official reveal and more info on G-Ponyta and Impidimp on the official website

As much as I adore Galarian Ponyta, a 24 hour long reveal for one pokemon was an awful Idea.
I went in expecting at minimum 4 new pokemon, They should've clearly stated they were trying to capture footage of one elusive pokemon.

I wish the Pokemon would do some more cute things like nap for a couple minutes in the clearing

For an "Awful" idea, it sure created many new pages worth of speculation and brought ponyta to trending.

And a lot of frustration online.

And a lot of frustration online.

From people who had unrealistic expectations and the BBND group (which isn't a surprise in the slightest.).

From people who had unrealistic expectations.

I'd hardly call it unrealistic to expect more than 1 pokemon to be revealed during a 24 hour Livestream.

Hey, I’m back and I’ve finally caught up with everything lol. G-Ponyta is super cute! Assuming it’s strong, I’d love to have it on my team, though I was planning on Alcremie already :thinking emoji: hm.

Only one solution, no other choice. Time to go full on fairy squad rolling through Galar.

 

[Ultra Beast Lover]

I may be making team sets this gen, they won't be used in battle but they'll be filled with Pokemon that I like and will put in Pokemon camp

They didnt even show a new Pokemon ( we already saw Imdimo in the demo). I loved Galarian Ponyta but cmon? Their 2 last reveals were about only kanto Pokemon. What about actual new Galar pokemon? Also, This along with the Afflek leak shows that again 99 % of the Galarian forms are from Kanto so far. It really make me sad.

I was trying to avoid that XD
It makes sense that it’s hard for me though, Fairy is my favorite type lol

I mean that statistic is completely incorrect based on current information.

 

[Ultra Beast Lover]

Aw the Morelull are dancing back home, is the party over?

 

[janejane6178]

Why? Its not really 99 %, but u got my point. 4 from Kanto and 1 from Hoenn so far.. so 80 %.

Around 2 hours left. Hope there's a grand finale for the live stream!
