Pokemon Sword & Shield GENERAL DISCUSSION Thread [Spoilers]

[XanderCage]

Wonder if Galarian Rapidash will gain another type when it evolves. Alolan Vuplix gained fairy type when it evolved. If it does will it add Fairy type or Flying type (the mane looks like clouds and the obvious connection to a pegasus makes sense.)

And now, I'm starting to fear that they are going to hide the starter evos until release.

 

[Mewizard]

because the information stream for these game is an impossible slow trickle

Sad Truth. I thought for sure they'd show rapidash though since they teased the Cry at the end of the stream.
Good god they really are giving us crumbs with the reveals.

That’s good tbh.

I actually hope Galarian Rapidash stays Psychic. Would be more unpredictable than Psychic/Fairy!

 

[Beloberto]

The Unique Horn Pokémon, haha. That is clever.

............. oh. OOOOOH!!!! Wow, it took me forever!

 

[Marzbar]

Psychic type?

Well they’ve managed to ruin yet another good Pokémon concept. Got to commend them on their consistency.

 

[Orphalesion]

What the eff?
GF you suck...

 

[RileyXY1]

With this, Bug, Ground, and Ice are the only 3 types to not have any new content revealed for them, whether it be new Pokemon or regional variants.

 

[Dragalge]

Does everything that looks “elegant and pretty!!” have to be Fairy? This ponyta could have been something dumb like a Dragon type and I’d still like it!

 

[TheLink]

Can't say I expected Psychic type. Thats... interesting to say the least. Not necessarily bad, but interesting.

Regarding the amount of info being revealed, I can honestly say I like this more restrained approach. I can see why folks wouldn't be super-keen on it given past reveal cycles, but I'm excited to go into a Pokemon game mostly blind for the first time since Sapphire.

 

[Wulava]

G-Rapidash could end up Psychic/Flying or Psychic/Fairy.
Majority, myself included, was expecting Fairy.

Funny how they still don't acknowledge Impidimp.

 

[Orphalesion]

Why? While it's frustrating, they owe us nothing. They don't have to show a trailer, they don't have to release really anything before release.

What is that silly message even supposed to say?

Besides, I'm disappointed that G.Ponyta is Psychic instead of Fairy, because I've been wanting a fairy unicorn since gen 6 not about the amount of info they revealed.

 

[XanderCage]

G-Rapidash could end up Psychic/Flying or Psychic/Fairy.
Majority, myself included, was expecting Fairy.

I think it's likely it gains a type when it evolves with those two being the most likely. Alolan Vulpix gained a type when it evolved.

 

[Divine Retribution]

Funny how they still don't acknowledge Impidimp.

They literally have a picture of it in the slideshow featuring highlights of the forest stream, yet it still doesn't have its own page yet... Poor thing.

 

[Mewizard]

Why? While it's frustrating, they owe us nothing. They don't have to show a trailer, they don't have to release really anything before release.

I mean they don't have to do anything but they really should, We're one month away from the game release and only 23 pokemon have been officially revealed.

 

[SpiritSkye]

Psychic used to be my favorite type before Fairy was introduced so I’m happy with this. I still love Fairy best but this way I can have G-Ponyta without taking up my Fairy slot.

Also, Serebii said the Dynamax Cam has been updated to include G-Weezing, Sirfetch’d, G-Ponyta and Obstagoon.

 

[Ignition]

Oh we’re going to get into the “Should GF reveal more information?” debate again? Just let people have preferences lol. Wanting more info than what we have is not going to spoil the game for you

What confuses me about its typing is that the website mentions that it absorbs life energy to get that look of its mane yet the Pokèmon of life is a Fairy Type.

 

[Beloberto]

They updated the Dynamax Camera website including Sirfetch'd and G.Ponyta. Just mentioning it in case they also included some old (non-yet confirmed to be in galar) pokémon as well.

Also, Sonia's report mention there are more pokémon in the Glimwood Tangle beyond those featured in the footage, including some new pokémon as well. Well... good, I was worried about that.

 

[SpiritSkye]

They’re very specifically teasing Impidimp and not revealing it, curious......I wonder if it’s because they can’t gather data on it? Like it’s very rare?

 

[Mr.Munchlax]

That sounds derpy. No thanks. I want Impidimp evolve into a very cool & bada*s looking demon.

That's what Im scared of too but the tongue does seem like a main feature of impidimp along with it's mask and head wing. If the tongue is here to stay I hope it looks something like this but with wings.

They could split the difference and have Impidimp evolve into a demon with derpy elements
