Pokémon Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield General Discussion

[Fey]

New here and long-time Pok?mon fan ♥

I'm looking forward to Sword and Shield as much as AC, especially because I've liked what they've shown us so far

I remember reading an article that claimed some form of insider knowledge on the starters' final typings a few months ago, but for all I know they were just losely fact-based predictions. Still, if anyone is curious:

Spoiler: Supposedly "Leaked" Starter Typings

Grookey - Grass/Fairy; Scorbunny - Fire/Fighting; Sobble - Water/Ghost

Now there's been a new leak claim from this past weekend, so maybe we can see whether either of them got it right come the Direct on Wednesday!

Dang, that would break everyone's hearts if Scorbunny turned out to be yet another... One of those types.

I had a long discussion with a friend of mine about the Pokemon direct tomorrow! If you're interested, grab some popcorn or just pop this on as a podcast kind of thing!

I for one don’t care if Scorbunny turns out to be fire/fighting as long as it looks cool. Besides, fire/fighting is a great duo type.

Yeah, same. I’ll still use Scorbunny, no matter what typing it gets. Lmao

 

[amazonevan19]

I'm personally leaning towards Grookey just because I can't wait to see it evolve into a cool music-themed monkey. But if scorbunny is something cool like fire-electric or fire-fairy then I may choose him.

Is anyone/everyone else going to be up to watch tomorrow’s Direct live?

I’d be less disappointed in Fire/Fighting than if Scorbunny evolved into another buff dude with an animal head (no offense Incineroar, you’re pretty cool)

Just watched the Direct... I'm still not really that hyped for the games to be honest.

I mean, don't get me wrong, the Wild Area for example looks and sounds pretty cool, but
giant Pokemon? Okay then... Other then that, Wooloo (that sheep), looks cute, the rest
are ok.

The only disappointing thing about the Direct? They didn't say anything about Animal Crossing. Jk

I guess I will wait for more informations, maybe then my hype will getting higher over
the time.

^It was a Pokemon direct so naturally Animal crossing. won’t be shown.

Anyways, it was okay, wasn’t worth waking up earlier to see tbh. the mascots were a huge letdown for me. Not a big fan of them. Giant battles are pretty meh. Other than that everything looks great!

I'M SERIOUSLY DIGGIN THIS SHIELD BOI RIGHT HERE

 

[Raayzx]

Ok but I'm freakin obsessed with zacian AHHHH

 

[Dim]

They both look the same plus there’s nothing extraordinary besides one having a sword in one’s mouth and a shield slapped onto the other smh. I want to like them... but... :/

 

[rianne]

Yeah I’m leaning towards Shield. Hmm. Just watch me forget both names 1000 times even post-release date.

Yeah, that was a joke, that's why I put the "Jk" tiny next to it.

Ah, sorry I miss that!

 

[Pellie]

Interesting is, that there was actually a leaker on Reddit, who was right with all the things he said,
hours before the Direct was shown. He was right with other stuff in the past too, so look out for this
guy, maybe he's going to be right with other leaks in the future?

Here is btw the post for anyone who's curious:

Same I keep thinking like "zercia" and "zamanetan" or "zarcen" and "zamamento" lmao

I'll never remember their names xDD

 

[You got mail!]

Nintendo sure loves putting vocal theme songs in their games now.

I can't wait for the one for Animal Crossing.
