Pokemon Sword & Shield Expansions

[azulryu]

I haven’t been excited about a Pokemon game since X&Y after Crystal so my expectations are typically low to start out with. That being said, I’m glad they’re coming out with more Glaran forms and Gigantamax forms (fingers crossed for Gyarados honestly). I wonder if the Pokemon they showed for that short 2 second splint (Kingdra, Volcarona, etc) are going to get new forms as well.

That being said, are the 3 legendary birds NEW Pokemon? Or are they Galaran forms? I’d much rather them be NEW Pokemon (though it feels like a rehash) than Galaran forms. I don’t like the idea of a Legendary Pokemon not really being one of a kind. XD

Overall, the DLC looks exciting to me. I really like the new version of Zapdos, and will definitely be picking up that card when it releases. I also think Slowpoke looks kind of cute with its new gold highlights, and I’m really hoping Galaran Slowbro/Slowking don’t look too weird. I personally wanted to see a larger snowy area, so I’m much more excited for part 2 over 1.

I don’t really feel a connection with the new legendary Pokemon announced. I can’t really even say I connected much with Zacian/Zamazenta either so it just is what it is. My focus will be on being able to collect the older legendary Pokemon.

The price for the DLC seemed a bit steep. I was hoping for it to be $20, but deep down I knew that it really didn’t matter what price they slapped on the screen, I’ll be paying it. What I really didn’t expect though, was that the $30 was going to be PER version. I only have Shield, but I couldn’t imagine paying $60 to get DLC for both of the games. I think it would have been more fair if $30 had covered both games, not just one. Or maybe $20 for one version, $30 wombo combo gets you both? I considered buying Shield, but I’m pretty sure I won’t now.

I tried out the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon demo and it’s okay. I never played the original, just saw it sitting on shelves in used game stores forever, so it’s nice to get to experience it on a large screen. From what I played, I’m not sure if it’s worth the $60 price point to me, and I’m already solidly committed to getting Resident Evil 3 in April, so I might pass on it until the price drops.

It’s $30 for the expansion pass. If at all this thread shows how bad their marketing is lol. This is definitely a step forward over their shitty half assed second editions. USUM was far worse.

All i want in my next pokemon game is,

the beauty and the exploration feel of BOTW and the scope of skyrim but with all the pokemon populating the world so you actual have to travel all over the map to get these pokemon total open world.

thats the dream for me this is a good first step course there are going to be mistakes just look at pokemon DS games at the start and at the end they really pushed the boundaries of what it was capable this is just the first game in a 5+ year life cycle of the switch.
