Sword & Shield will release on Friday, November 15, 2019 imgur.com/hWJHJaX
I’m stoked for this release! I’m probably going to take that Friday off and go on a sword and shield bender! I hope they have a new shiny hunting method or something
So we’ll probably be getting Dynamax Pokémon as Ultra Rares in the Sword & Shield TCG block?
Sadly I think they’re guaranteed to be computer generated graphics by the way they look
Let’s be realistic about Dynamax, just for a second.
We’ve had a sub 5 minute introduction to it that hasn’t given us back story or any kind of intricate detail on what the function does.
My initial impressions were this feature is more tailored to the raid style of things and that’s one sure way to increase the difficulty.
Players everywhere have been complaining about the difficulty for the games and to be fair, if this makes battles harder, I’m all for it. There’s likely more explanation coming in the next 5 months before release and we still know nothing official about ‘Gigantimax’ which was mentioned by the leaker (who made an astonishing amount of proven claims) dated 23rd of May.
These games look fantastic so far!!! Kudos to OP for identifying the trend in release dates =)
Zacian and Zamazenta don’t exactly roll off the tongue, but I definitely like their designs! Concerning the Dynamax and Gigantimax features, they really remind me of another nostalgic TV show from my youth, namely Power Rangers. I most certainly like the advent of raid-like content in Pokémon seeing I’m always up for a challenge. The overworld looks amazing, the characters feel very warm and pleasant and I honestly can’t wait to play these games!
It is used in key battles (like Gym battles and Raids; not random Trainer battles). Once during the battle, you can choose to Dynamax a Pokemon, giving it power boosts and supersizing it. It lasts for three turns.
It’s really not much different from Megas or Z-Moves with the exception that you can’t use it against Youngster Joeys. I don’t really see how it will make the game more difficult, to be honest.
