real leaks ahoy
>MAX Sword and MAX Shield (2020)
>100 Pokémon added to the Galar dex; Bulbasaur line, Squirtle line, every Gen 5-7 Pokémon that wasn’t already in the Galar dex (except starters, legendaries and mythicals) and 2 new legendaries, for a total of 500 Pokémon
>Gen 5-7 starters and legendaries are all still obtainable in game despite not being in the Galar dex
>all mythicals are usable in anticipation of events or transfer
>the two new Pokémon are Infinitus and Omnipotus, legendaries that are related to Eternatus
>no new Galarian forms, but there’s 31 new Gigantamax forms, including Rillaboom, Cinderace, Inteleon, Venusaur, Blastoise, Eternamax Eternatus (now usable, albeit nerfed), Infinimax Infinitus and Omnimax Omnipotus
>the Wild Area has been expanded with new regions that go north of Hammerlocke all the way to Route 10, and game progression has been tweaked to accomodate this
>some zones have been expanded somewhat like the two Galar Mines, but the only other brand new area is an important story one involving the new legendaries
>story changes, mainly Sordward and Shielbert appear all throughout the game to interfere with Sonia’s research, and when Rose summons Eternatus they summon Infinitus to corrupt Zacian and Zamazenta
>the presence of both Eternatus and Infinitus results in Zacian and Zamazenta’s Gigantamaxes which you must defeat before being able to fight and capture Eternatus and Infinitus
>new postgame episode where you catch the cover legendary, then Eternatus and Infinitus teleport you to their home world where Omnipotus can be fought and captured
>several returning characters including Colress, Looker and Cynthia appear, as does a new story important character who looks like Merlin and is trying to stop both Rose and Sordward/Shielbert
>nothing else major beyond traditional third version additions, the main selling point is having all the Gen 5-8 Pokémon available
