Forums - Nintendo Discussion - New Sword/Shield trailer: Galarian forms and new rivals

Surprised this hasn't been posted yet.



Around the Network

Forms are neat, a smug rival is cool and hopefully he's relevant. The red herring silly villain team though feels unnecessary. I would rather the sinister big bads up front than have the game play coy unnecessarily. Few people fell for it last time, no one will this time.

Though since they are doing this hopefully they stick to it this time and don't spoil the main villain literally a couple months before release.



Loving the black-and-white color schemes. And Team Yell seems neat: more like rabid fans than a criminal organization. Like it!



Can't wait for the lewds.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

I love Zigzagoon, and the new forme/evo look good, I do like bourgeoisie Weezing too. New formes are great. However, they're literally the only positives I've seen regarding the games. Was really expecting something bigger (and longer) for a reveal that was revealed days prior.

That 4chan leak is also 99.9999% proven true now, so a Farfetch'd evo is coming as well - as he's my second favourite Pokemon, that's great.

- Zigzagoon looks okay.
- Linoone looks terrible. I guess it's supposed to be a badger, but why can't it keep its tongue in its mouth?? And the mean look in general doesn't fit Linoone at all. This looks less like an actual linoone than Morpeko looks like Pikachu. Btw, a fun fact about badgers in the UK: the Brits love gassing them.
- Obstagoon looks weird and makes no sense as a Linoons evolution.
- Morpeko is by far the least interesting or original electric rodent ever. That's probably the reason why they gave it another form as well.
- Galar Weezing is alright.
- Rivals seem okay, but the "evil" team is just ridiculous.

I haven't checked, but knowing the internet, there was likely already porn of the new female character by the time you posted this.



Regional forms are back? Huge surprise considering its game freak, I was expecting this to go into the trash heap along with the countless other features they dropped.

And it's for Zigzagoon! A non gen 1 pokemon! and a cross gen evo for it as well, first time since gen 4 (not counting Sylveon).



Bet with Intrinsic:

The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.

Because

is at least inspired by the band Kiss's makeup, who are well known for their front man Gene Simmons Tongue.

As for Obsteegoon not looking right as their Evolution....

It does if you get the reference look correct.



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

Yikes, can't say I'm a fan of how pop culture-y/silly a lot of these designs look ("hangry mode", wtf GF???) , but with that said I am thrilled it seems we will indeed be getting a new batch of evos for previous mons. After 3 gens in a row without any, I'm definitely ready. Several gen 5-7 ones could definitely use a good new evo, and still holding out hope for an awesome Dunsparce one and that GF will just drop all the rest of the Eeeveeloutions one of these gens, because it really makes zero sense for it not to be able to evolve into every type.
