Are you ready, Pokemon fans? It's almost time to see what Nintendo has in store for the next generation of Pokemon. Once the video goes live, we'll be covering the announcements made during the seven minute long Direct. Stay tuned to see what gets revealed.

Footage is shown for the next Pokemon game, running on the Nintendo Switch. New locations, areas, and trainers are shown. The starters have been revealed as well. Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield are the latest titles.

​

Both games will take place in the Galar region which will have old and new Pokemon. Grookey, Scorbunny, and Sobble are the starters' names. Wild Pokemon battles are back. Worldwide release planned for Late 2019.

Look his nose thing and feet.... clearly a fighter themed pkm

i think this time it's a fire/fairy type

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Even the name Pokemon sword and shield is a bit rubbish in a few years they will follow it up with Pokemon Knive and Fork and a special edition will be brought out a few months later called Pokemon Spoon lol.

Little dissapointed... graphic feel like sun/moon .. after odyssey and botw i expected same level.. at least the ability to control camera. .. fire starter looked like a cereal bunny. and i at least for now didint see pokemon in the wild like pokemon go or follow.. dunno if they didint show it now and will show it later or just arent in these games. if so then its a regresion.

I'm betting that Scorbunny will be Fire/Normal

Even the name Pokemon Sword and Shield is a bit rubbish and has a lack of imagination to it. In a few years they will follow it up with Pokemon Knive and Fork and a special edition will be brought out a few months later called Pokemon Spoon lol.

cause this one is based on England. im sure we will get a DLC for Scotland.... where you can eat battered mars bar :^)

Was wondering what people meant by sun and moon, but then I forgot about the 4k or high-rez versions of the 3DS games and damn, that's the truth.

Wild Pokemon b

attles are back.​

​

Are back? Did I miss a main Pokemon entry that removed them?


EDIT: This post is royally fucked. I don't know how it got so broken and any editing I do won't save for some reason.

Pokemon Let's Go, but it's a spin-off, which seems to be a hard pill for swallow for many people for some reason.

 

[natkoden]

lets go

 

[shaunj66]

The character and Pokémon models look really out of place in the world design

 

[medoli900]

I wish they'd keep the overworld non random encounter. I much prefer that over stressing over each patch of grass I go over.

 

[RattletraPM]

The region looks interesting, Pokémon in GB can be a really good combo if done right, while the starters... eh...
Scorbunny's the only one I can get myself to like

I need Pokemon Halberd

Probably getting the bunny. I seen some say it is base off soccer. Also, Scorbunny can be read as both scorch bunny and score bunny.

 

[LittleFlame]

this better be REALLY early footage, it's just weird looking and kind of off putting..

and once again looks like more of the same, not like I was gonna buy it anyway but this definitely didn't convince me

I'm going for the grass starter, tbh. I think it's not gonna be popular short-term, but i think it'll be the next Bulbasaur

Yeah, I thought it had been established that Pokemon GO wasn't a main series title.

It isn't, but people still are mad, even though it's obviously a remake and not main series

I am 50/50 on the visible Pokemon thing. Also, it doesn't seem like you have to worry about throwing Poke balls, like Let's Go.
