Because I always have to be different I'm going to get Shield because the Shield legendary pokemon won't be the popular one of the two.
Dynamax is dumb and worse than megas and z-moves but i like everything else
corviknight and drednaw are dope

I think everything they showed today looks fucking fantastic. I was about as in as I could be before and this just reinforces that feeling.
The new Pokemon look amazing, the world looks great and it seems like we'll get to really explore the world again. November can't come soon enough.

Because "what if the pokemon were BIIIG" is something a kid comes up with on the playground with zero thought. It's the most boring, bland idea.
I really wish the game could just be like the wild areas 100% of the time, but beggars can't be choosers. I'm hoping the next game in the franchise just takes it a final step further.
I WAS RIGHT! ROTOM IS A CAMERA!!!!
You can see it in the top right of the screen, and when the camera frame is visible you can see its icon
Corviknight is such an amazing design.
And the UI is looking super clean.
Dynamax being so controversial is weird to me considering the anime has never had a problem doing weird shit with heights.
Hell the original anime had giant Pokemon. For a cartoony world with stuff like Mega Evolution a Pokemon growing to a giant size temporarily doesn't really seem that weird to me.

Yeah, I was just thinking about that. The first trailer didn't show it, but now we know Zell was 100% right with that statement.
Because insignificant Resetera bubble.
Anyway...holy shit. What a trailer! The Pokemon designs get better with every gen, don't they? Really REALLY dig the box legendary designs. Zacian and Zamzam. Also, does anyone think that they were preparing to fight an even stronger legendary (3rd version) towards the end of the trailer?
Dreradgnaw is totally going on my team. Corviknight also ha a very high chance of being on it if it's not a single stager.
The giant Pokemon look really stupid but at least they shouldn't interfere with the number of all new Pokemon like megas and Alolan forms did.

It is the logical consequence of the stadiums, most of the Pokémon are too small.
I mean, to me it's just not an exciting gimmick. All they're doing is making the models bigger and they get Z-moves (which I didn't like in the first place).
I don't mind leaks myself, but it's still kinda lame how people are just openly posting that stuff in here like it's no big deal, not behind spoiler tags or anything, for the sake of those that y'know, actually would prefer to stay way from leaks and stuff. Some basic courtesy of putting that stuff behind spoiler tags shouldn't be too much to ask for, but alas...
They havent showed a lot of the region tbh, I'm hoping there will be more smaller areas where you can control the camera.
Yes, but it extends almost throughout the entire region and seems quite large.
Dynamax is Pokemon's old "kaiju in your pocket" concept coming full circle.
It's...definitely jarring though.

That looked incredible. The graphics were perfect for the game and I'm so glad they went this route. Open areas with Pokemon around and free camera will finally make it feel like you're hunting for Pokemon again, something the series lost after the first couple games. It got too predictable. The dynamax name is goofy but the battles looked exciting. The characters were full of character. Also the animations actually looked quite good! A shock after let's go.
I'm stoked. There's no real time fighting but it has just about everything else I would have wanted to see.
Wonder if they'll be co op outside of the raids?
Great job game freak and Nintendo, can't wait to see more. The new revealed Pokemon look great too!

No?
What am I supposed to be seeing?
Yeah, that makes sense. At least the Pokémon models look great!
Of all the new ones they showed off, Corviknight looks the best. That said, the Shield legendary looks goofy as hell and I feel like this is gonna be one of those gens where one version is disproportionately picked over another. Who wouldn't want Great Grey Wolf Sif in their Pokémon team?
Not sold on Dynamax right now. It seems like an awkward middle-ground between mega evolutions and Z moves that says "What if we just made them big?" From
a competitive/meta perspective, it's probably going to be healthier than using the same handful of top-tier megas and one-use Z-moves, but it also saves them from having to do any interesting design work.
Still, definitely sold on this day one. I like a lot of the other changes they showed and I'm down to catch em all.

I'm also kind of sad that there seems to be only one. I was expecting different big areas connected by hall-like areas just like Xenoblade 2. However this Wild Area seems to be very big and it changes depending of the weather conditions, so maybe is not that bad.
Not really, temporary evolutions which change the design and typing of a pokemon is more creative and exciting than just blowing up a pokemon and giving it a red aura.
Well, at least now Skitty x Wailord makes sense.
I mean you could say that about Mega Evolutions too lol
It's a neat way to not leave out any Pokemon like Megas did. Also according to the leak there is another version called Gigamaxing that does change designs like Megas.
I think more of the map is the Wild area than that honestly.Yes, but it extends almost throughout the entire region and seems quite large.
Either way it needs to be stressed the scale on the map is pretty off so the Wild area is way bigger than the map would make it seem.
