Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Pokemon Sword and Shield coming late 2019 worldwide

Better the switch mini/lite be ready by the end of year. The console for a main new gen pokemon game was never as expensive as 300$.
A 200$ switch version, 250$ bundled with the game would help a lot in the game sales. specially for kids.

Looks like a fun game. Ive wanted a traditional Pokémon game on a console since Gale Of Darkness XD, so Im getting it. It wont be the BOTW of Pokémon games, but it could have looked way worse.

Yeah I was worried that the characters would look like in Pokemon lets go...... Thankgod it wasn't 



Pocky Lover Boy!

And Animal Crossing! I think it would be a waste of opportunity if Nintendo does not do it.

I guess people wanted the game to look like this:

:p



Already interested, but this image made me chose the right "rune", I knew it felt too familiar.

Man, the complains about people being a bit dissapointed with the reveal is annoying.Its like we are not allowed to have bigger expectation for Pokemon games.



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

Some of the expectations are were way to unlikely tbh

Its not a matter of being unlikely or not, its what people wanted out of the game.

And even then, since when its wrong to expect pokemon to look as good as most Switch games, or to have it ditch archaic mechanisms as random encounters?

The random encounters I can agree with, but looking as good as other switch games? There was never a chance with that 



Blurry as hell, but someone seems to have accurately leaked insight into the early development of Sword/Shield way back in April last year. Obviously stuff has changed since then, but it checks out imo, it's not claiming anything ridiculous. 

The idea for gym leaders/badges to be replaced with lords/medals doesn't seem to bad to me (though they've obviously changed that back to gyms, likely on feedback), the differing champion/E4 depending on version is intriguing too. 

The 'sword forme'/'shield forme' thing has shown up in a few other places too (specifically referring to Flygon, Tyranitar and... ugh, Charizard and Mewtwo.

Not surprising at all that Game Freak wasn't ready for HD development either, it shows.

 

Having given it time to digest, my opinions are largely positive for Sword and Shield though. It's nowhere near as ambitious as it should be, but it looks good if nothing else.
