Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield (Nintendo Switch)

Welp, the 8th Generation is upon us:


Reveal Trailer

Looks like the new region will be based on Great Britain.

Those scenery look DAMN GREAT !
I absolutely love that foggy forest look

The Player Character and NPC seem to look more alive too

[Chosen_Hero]

The male MC is going to have back problems carrying around that luggage trunk.

So far the bunny is the one that appeals the most to me.

[Haak]

It's based on the UK? I know that doesn't mean anything except for the scenery but I'll laugh my head off if it gets topical.

And it looks like Scotland has a wall.

[Chosen_Hero]

Get ready for Team Brexit.

OMG is time! and this time is fucking Britain!! I like Britain.

I hope for character customization with british costumes and if possible male clother for Shield.

I like the designs of Sword and Shield (MC's) sometimes simple is better.

Regarding the starters, I can't say nothing yet until I see the final evos. But only can hope that they can top 7th gen starters where the 3 were awesome. Well, for starters the bunny seems the kind that evolves in Fire/Fighting. I hope I'm wrong.

And finally I can't wait for Ash and Pikachu new adventures in PokeBritain.

Sobble reminds me of Froakie

So Gamefreaks could have sold this as one game, Pokemon Aegislash, but instead, they decided to rip him in half and sell him in two pieces?

[Huh...?]

How many people here, who are going to get "Pokemon Shield" planning to name their character, either "Naofumi" or "Shield Bro"?

i really hope they re-add the national pokedex back into the game

well needless to say but Honedge and its evolutions will definitely be available in the game lol

[Chosen_Hero]

There is only two requests that I have (at the moment) for these games to:

1. Bring back the bike: Riding on Pokémon is cool and all but I miss the bike which in my opinion was far more interesting.

2. For the love of God, NO Rotom-dex: seriously, I don't want this annoyance talking to me or for me every damn second.

[rladls2121]

I think this Rotom-dex way more annoying in anime, unfortunate.

[serenade_beta]

I just hope they cut off trading with previous games. It's a pain to try to go competitive when so many stuff are previous-game only.
And then they can focus on preventing cheating/banning cheaters for just stuff that happens in Sword/Shield.

[MAX_COLA_POWER!]

I hope that they take away the title of mythical pokémon. Any and all legendaries they make originally for this game, let them all be captured in some way or another during the game, pre or post game. If they're doing Mystery Gift stuff, let them do it for past gen mons, not these.

[Haak]

Will laugh if Excalibur is the legendary sword pokemon. Que the Fate Saber jokes...

[Huh...?]

So could Shieldon/Bastiodon, because they are the 'Shield Pokémon'.
Also Bisharp, because its the 'Sword Blade Pokémon'.
And Kartana because its the 'Drawn Sword Pokémon'.
