| Look at these new annoucements, i mean, oh my good, this is so amazing!!!! Shame that this Pokemon is not set in Pokemon China-based region but man these starter Pokemon looks amazing!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFues4zhUW4 |
 |
| I fucking love Sobble. #TeamWater. The rabbit looks awesome too, but the chameleon is just too damn cute. |
 |
| Sobble looks really nice so for now that will be my choice. The names are pretty average, but I love how the region and characters look. Pretty hyped for further information about it. Anyone knows which country the region is based off? |
   |
| I'm a bit hyped for this! Sounds awesome, the starters look a bit lame though. |
 |
Possibly Canada. |
|
| First for Sword > Shield. Can't wait to play but I must say I'm not in love with the starter...Maybe they will grow in me. Now just give me new pokemon with good design, make the game not too easy and we are good. Just hope the map won't be too linear (from the first artwork it seems to be the case but let's wait for more info). |

| Yay for another mainline Pokemon game! The visual upgrade looks really nice. But seriously though the starters look kinda lame tbh. Didn't we have like 3-4 grass monkeys already lol? |
 |
| #TeamSobble for the win. Galar looks stunning and I love the snowy parts of the region. |
 |
| People are saying the region is based off the UK, which I can definitely see. The one mechanic I wanted from Let's Go is not there though. Seeing pokemon on the overworld was one of the few things I liked about those games. I'm not feeling any of the starters either, but I'll wait to see what their evolutions look like. |
counting it's potential 3 stage evolution, that'd be 5 grass monkeys, Pansage and it's evolution are the other group. If you count all the simian Pokemon, that'd be at least 18 Pokemon inspired by monkeys. OT: Looks great, not gonna get it though, as I have no plans to buy a Switch in the first place. also wtf is with the names of the starters smh -.- |
    Summertime days, passing gentlySunlight, leading to an encounter; Dreams that don't want to end Continue onwards toward the next day While she waits in the air. |
| Not as excited as everyone else seems to be, but they look pretty good so far. The starters are cute, the region looks interesting, and it looks like a good mix of Sun/Moon and Let's Go graphically. I'm trying to keep my expectations in check after Sun/Moon, but Gen 8 has made a good first impression. |
| Had low expectations going into this, but the trailer looked pretty nice. But I would need more details before deciding on getting this. For the starter, I'll probably go with Scorbunny, but it'll depend on what the final forms look like. |
| These starters kinda look like fakemon ngl. |
 |

 |
| Now I have another reason to get a Switch. If I get It I'm gonna get Shield Version. About the starters, All i can say is... FUCK SOBBLE. He looks like a Bootleg Mudkip but even more stupid. The other 2 starters look good AF. If I can only get 1 game, I'm gonna go with Grookey and then get the other 2 via trading. |

| The new region looks amazing. Currently on team Sobble but I need to see the evolutions first |
  |
The UK apparently. Starters look kinda eh imo, but the monkey is pretty cute. I like the look of the region so far, especially that cave or mine. Still hoping that these games are gonna have the overworld pokemon feature which was in Let's Go. |
 |
| Everything seems decent so far especially the return of random encounters. Also, the region is basically the UK flipped backwards and a tad steampunk as well. Hopefully, the Pokemon Go mechanics will be gone from these games. |
 |
| So they kept the art style from the 3DS games but obviously are utilising the more powerful hardware on the Switch to make these really nice looking environments. |
| Here's a link to a high-res map of the region if anyone is interested There's actually quite a bit of information to gleam from this. Pretty easy to spot various gyms and location details. |
Skittles said: The sad thing is that I can easily name 3 pokemon that look like each of the starters. They're running out of ideas and the bunny one ''Scorbunny's'' name just reminds me of Charizard cause of the name contractions such as Scorch Bunny and Charcoal Lizard. OwOYay for another mainline Pokemon game! The visual upgrade looks really nice. But seriously though the starters look kinda lame tbh. Didn't we have like 3-4 grass monkeys already lol? |

Game Freak should hire more foreigners since they know more ideas about it. A lot of video games is being developed by an pure Japanese and few foreigners made the video games in Japan about, because Japan has an low immigration rate. |
|
| I can't wait! I've read articles to say that Galar is based upon the UK which is great, it'll be interesting to see how it looks and which areas they've based it upon considering I'm from the UK myself. Also, #TeamGrass. |
 |
| All the starters look awful and also Meltan. Gen 8 seems to be a good contender to be the generation with the worst designs. The game looks awesome tho, did you see these caves and cities?? SO GOOD! |
 |
| The reason I picked up gen 7 after 10+ years of not buying a Pokemon games was because it looked like they were finally making some changes. It seems like their strategy was successful and they're continuing the progress. I did not expect having to buy another Pokemon game so soon again, but this looks promising! |
| The onething that worries me is that the map looks so linear. |
Bourmegar said: The onething that worries me is that the map looks so linear. Pokemon games have always been extremely linear, so I don't think the region's design is really going to make a difference in that regard. There's an intended order the major cities you go to and the badges you collect, and any times you can sort of branch away are usually roadblocked by some kind of HM you need. Plus after scrubbing the big map they posted on the website (here's a link if you wanna see for yourself), there's a pretty extensive train system that runs through a large part of the region, along with other pathways outside that. If we actually get access to using the train, it could end up being less linear than it might seem. |
| Grookey gang all the way. Its stick was the best part. Next announcement: Aegislash will be the games' mascot and be more powerful than Arceus. |

Ponds667 said: Oh, that's a good guess; I hadn't thought about the monkey from the tale tbh: I was thinking it might turn into a sword. Either way, it would be so cool if Grookey kept it while evolving.SaiDrew said: Grookey gang all the way. Its stick was the best part.

| Whats the OMG for? literally looks like a cell phone game. I was expecting something on a much larger scale tbh. But anyway, the water pokemon is the best one imo. |
| This is what Sun/Moon should've been but Gamefreak is incredible incompetent so you can't expect much. I like a lot of what I'm seeing aside from the awful starting pokemon designs, hopefully is not a heavily scripted/cutscene heavy title as last generation or a cashgrab like last year's game. |
| As a diehard pokémon fan I’m beyond excited. I even watched the direct instead of getting ready for school. After being pretty disappointed last years game was yet ANOTHER kanto remake I’m finally glad we got gen 8. I think the game looks awesome in my opinion. When I first saw the starters I was disappointed, but it’s only been a few hours and they have SERIOUSLY grown on me. I would die for sobble and grookey. I can’t wait to hear more about this game....Happy Pokémon Day everyone |
 |
| I'm a little disappointing tbh. Gameplay wise it doesn't look like a huge step-up from the 3DS. Plus, the characters faces still aren't animated. I guess only time will tell. :) I might pick this up. I lost interest in Pokemon since after X/Y. I was hoping this game would get me back into the series but there's a lot to catch up on. |
| Like every Pokemon game, i start with water, so Sobble it is. |
 |
| I have no idea why there are people expecting openworld-like type of gameplay in a main Pokemon series. If that has to occur sometimes it will most likely happen in a spin-off game. Currently, Pokemon always had stick to the same formula and it's like that because their target audience is primarily children and neophyte gamer. And thank you it seems that gameplay-wise it will surpass the Pokemon let's go and we'll come back to a more interesting gameplay such like sun and moon. Altough I'd rather have got a more ambitious pokemon entry, I'm still really confident into this one since the huge improvement they made from XY to sun and moon. |
| This game is complete and utter garbage. It's the same shit as every other Pokemon game. The gameplay and everything is the same. Imagine being hyped up for another garbage Pokemon game with no improvement nor innovation whatsoever. Couldn't be me |

Psajdak said: I think I heard something that now exist some Pokemon Red, Green, and Blue version from which you can transfer Pokemon to the later generations. Does anyone knows about it? I was interested for a while now to get into series from the very beginning, and to be able to do that would be really cool. And another question, I am aware that in the past you had to personally link your console with someone else's, to trade Pokemon, or do battles, which was probably bad news for those people who didn't know others who also played those games. In current age, is it possible to connect online, and play/trade this way with others, and/or maybe be a part of some events which rewards with rare Pokemons, or similar things? IRL, I know only few gamers, and none of them plays Pokemon. Online battling has been part of Pokemon since Gen 4. Gen 6 introduced Wonder Trade, which allows you trade with a random stranger. |

| Sword and Shield? Eventually they're going to run out of words and the next pokemon will be. Pokemon; Salt & Pepper. |
