Looks great

Most of the new Pokemon look pretty thus far. Dynamax is a nice reference to the anime's first season, though it's otherwise a pretty pointless gimmick compared to adding new Mega Evolutions.

Giant Pokemon? Sounds retarded tbh. Also lol @ the Sword version's Pokemon literally carrying a sword in its mouth

The shield Pokemon looks pretty cool tho.

 

[Papasmurf]

The shield pokemon honestly looks like a Pokemon from the last generation

 

[Pocket-Gog~]

That's why it looks good.

Good to see regional forms are going to remain a thing. I was hoping to see a buffed version of Weezing someday and we even got a regional evolution for Linoone. Might just be enough to convince me to get it now.

Seems like the male rival may finally go back to being the smug jerk archetype we had with Blue and Silver, which is good. The new evil team look like jabronis though.

 

[Classic Adamas]

I was never really high on regional evolution, but I understand why they exist. Expanding the mammoth roster of mons is unnecessary at this point. breathe new life into old ones for the new games. it's a good idea, I suppose.

Zigzagoon and Linoone look good in their kiss colours.

 

[Captain Cadaver]

I do wish the Galarian Zigzagoon line were made full Dark type rather than Dark/Normal though. Unless Obstagoon has some god tier stats, breathing new life into this line of Pokemon kind of falls flat when most decent fighting type moves could oneshot it.

 

[Classic Adamas]

Honestly type advantages and strategy never really enter my head when playing Pokemon. I just see a good old Pokemon with a cool new design and I pop. 2

Cramorant and Polteageist are decent designs for Pokemon, with the former having a cool ability. I hope the fish Cramorant has in its beak is revealed to be a Pokemon, considering previous Pokemon having such details as Mantine having a Remoraid swimming under it. If Cramorant just has a regular fish it'll be...weird.

The curry mini-game seems really pointless given that not only does it raise the question of why was there space for 100+ curry options and not the National Dex, but it lacks the unique Pokemon World flare that previous food mini games such as Poffin or Pokeblock creation had. Also, I guess Nintendo won't be shying away from the Donphan in the room regarding people eating Pokemon

The customisation options seem like a vast improvement from Gen 7's. With so many options for character design, the Ruler 34 artists are going to have a field day

So, a few new items.

- Mints have been added to change a Pokemon's nature. Good idea, since it makes the act of getting the specifics of your ideal competitive team a lot easier.
- Stat-raising items such as Calcium seem to be a lot more effective than in prior games.
- PC Boxes can be accessed at any location. This makes things a lot easier, though if continuing the previous route of Pokemon becoming fully healed when entering a PC, does make it way too much of a cheap solution in making a playthrough overly easy unless massive upheavals are coming to how Pokemon Centres and the PC Boxes operate.
- EXP Candies are being added, essentially being a Rare Candy that boosts a Pokemon's EXP by a certain amount. This seems pretty pointless as it seems doubtful it would be more useful than a Rare Candy in the late game and don't seem like the type of items that could be found easily early game where they'd be far more useful.

I've never been a big EV/IV guy or a breeder but being able to change the nature is pretty sick.

I know they wouldn't do this but a native Nuzlocke mode would be great.

Man the starters suck ass in this game. As soon as I catch 1 Pokemon I’ll be releasing it into the wild. Fuck that shit.
