Alright, I stopped coming here since the start of the year.
Bring me up to speed, /vp/
1. Megas and the godawful Z-Moves. Still in?
2. The new games, Sword and Shield (SS), which version looks more interesting and which one have "cooler" version exclusives?
3. What's the new feature called? I've seen some kind of giant parade-balloon looking Pokemon?
4. Alolan forms, still in or replaced?
5. Are they worth buying?
6. What's the general consensus of them? Good? Bad? Shitstorm? Masterpieces to be?

1. No
2. Sword has Hydreigon and Sirfetchd, Shield has Tyranitar and Galar Ponyta
3. Dynamax. Pokemon get big for 3 turns and their moves basically become Z-Moves. Some mons have 'Gigantamax' which is the same except they get a new apperance and a new move.
4. There are now Galarian forms. No Alolan form has been shown so theyre probably gone.
5. We don't know
6. Most believe them to be shit due to the low effort put in to the graphics and the dex cull.

1.Nope we have Kaijumax better and balanced
2.Its split imo but most are looking towards sword for sirfetchd
3. Refer to 1
4. No one knows about alolan forms although self explanatory they are not going to be in but instead we have galarian mons
5. I’ve preordered for both but cancelling for dual pack since my store ran out of them. Imo worth buying if you live in bongistan but the verdict is on you
5. I’d say average

nope. they've been replaced by dynamax and gigantamax for 'balancing purposes'

shield has a mlp ponyta, sword has a farfetch'd evo
>3. What's the new feature called? I've seen some kind of giant parade-balloon looking Pokemon?
dynamax.
>4. Alolan forms, still in or replaced?
not confirmed in but not out either. some pokémon, like ponyta and zigzagoon, have galar forms instead.
>5. Are they worth buying?
depends. i personally am getting sword, but lots of people dislike the changes
>6. What's the general consensus of them? Good? Bad? Shitstorm? Masterpieces to be?
again, it depends on who you ask. not much has been revealed, so i think they seem promising, but might also suck.

What the fuck is Sirfetchd? Luvdisc and Alomomola kind of thing or Electabuzz - Electivire kind?
GALAR Ponyta? What, so we're getting Kanto mon in other forms beside Alolan?
Gigantamax sounds like Mega Evolution with flair

I think more people here are disappointed in them than looking forward to them.
I'm looking forward to them tentatively because it's Pokemon, I just wish GF would put more effort in.

>>40462567
It's an evolution for Farfetch'd. It's not clear if it's going to stick around or if it's Galar exclusive though. Linoone has a Galar form and also a new Galar evolution (Obstagoon).

And yes, there are new Galar forms. Galar Ponyta looks like my little pony, Galar Weezing is poison/fairy and has a top hat.

So far theres 3 lines revealed getting them (Weezing, Zigzagoon, Ponyta)

Nope, I've genuinely stopped coming to hype myself up for the upcoming games and to avoid spoilers.
So that's what it looks like. It looks silly and badass at the same time.
>>40462584
I see. So we're not getting Kanto mons exclusively in other forms, that's good. I'm kinda tired of Kanto pandering.

I wouldn't say that.
I mentioned Gigantamax earlier, where mons get new forms when they Dynamax. Outside of a couple of new mons that have Gigantamax forms, every single old mon to receive one has been Kanto.
Pikachu, Meowth, Butterfree and Charizard all got one. No others for previous gens have been shown.

>>40462604
For some reason, its Psychic type.
I assume Galar Rapidash will be Psychic/Fairy but we haven't seen it yet.

1) No to both. Dynamax / Gigantamax are was they're trying to replace them with.

2) Purely a matter of opinion. Sword has the exclusive fighting-type gym leader Bea and a Farfetch'd evolution Sirfetch'd, while Shield has a ghost-type gym leader Allister in Bea's place and a psychic-type Galarian Ponyta (and presumably Galarian Rapidash). Sword also has Deino and Jangmo-o while Shield has Larvitar and Goomy. There's likely a lot of exclusives we don't know about yet.

3) That'd be Dynamaxing and Gigantamaxing. Dynamaxing allows any Pokemon to grow giant and boost its stats. Gigantamaxing allows certain Pokemon obtained from max raid battles or other special circumstances to not only grow giant but also to change appearance and replace moves of a certain typing with new powerful moves. Both last only three moves and can only be performed during during certain battles (like gym battles).

4) No word on if any Alolan forms are in, but Galarian forms are a thing. So far we know of Galarian Weezing (Poison / Fairy), Zigzagoon, Linoone (both Dark / Normal), and Ponyta (Psychic). Furthermore, Galarian Linoone can evolve into a totally new Pokemon, Obstagoon, which regular Linoone isn't known to be capable of doing. Reliable leaks have indicated that Galarian Meowth and a unique second evolution for that line might also be a thing.

5. Again, entirely a subjective thing.

6. A lot of people here are disappointed with the games so far, for three main readons: 1) Megas (and to a lesser extent Z-Moves) are not in the game, 2) many think the new open-world-esque Wild Area looks small and undetailed (plus the fact that there's apparently only one such area in the game), and 3) there's no National Dex, which means you can't transfer Pokemon from Home to Sword and Shield, even in postgame, if they don't already appear in the Regional Galarian dex. This last one was a huge deal when it was first announced, with even causal players getting up in arms about it.

Anon, I... *sob*
Actually... there are new forms called gigantamax, a peculiar type of dynamax reserved for only a few pokemon. This form changes their appearence too and also allows them to use different moves than normal dynamax, that also have some of the most broken effect ever. The fact is... only 3 of them as of now are NOT kanto mons, pikachu and eevee get one too but only if you have let's pikachu or eevee play data in your console, meowth if you buy the game before next year, butterfree gets one too and finally, the champion's ace pokemon is a charizard that can gigantamax. No news about the other 2 kanto starters but they'll probably get one too. It's a shitfest of kanto pandering

>Meowth and Pikachu got gigantamax
Poor Raichu and Persian. This must be from the anime's influence.
>Charizard
On top of having TWO mega evolutions, it got another Gigantamax form?
Can any Pokemon dynamax or just the ones that can gigantamax? (sorry if this sounds confusing)
>For some reason, its Psychic type.
but... it's a unicorn. with cotton candy mane.
I....what?
>>40462624
Which one is Bea? The Indian looking one with blue hair or the silver hair one?
>last only three moves
Oh so it's not a semi-permanent change like Mega Evolution
>Poison Fairy Weezing
Jesus Christ, I imagine that two opposite types would result in something monstrous like Alolan Muk?
>there's no National Dex
We don't have that since Sun and Moon anon. I'm gonna transfer Yanmega postgame and have fun seeing it in glorious 3D.
>>40462662
So they pander a lot to the Kanto mons again. I hope the new ones are getting lots of love too.

Every pokemon can dynamax, just like z-moves except you don't need held item. Only few pokemon can gigantamax, but they are like pokemon with hidden ability. So if you want pokemon with gigantamax forms, you need to do Max Raid and defeat large pokemon before you can catch it. Repeat this until you find one in gigantamax form.

Galarian ponyta is made to be psychic because its new ability resist poison, and fairy type is weak to poison.

Bea is fighting type gym leader only in Sword version. She might be fifth or sixth gym leader, we still don't know about every leaders yet.

Yes, it only last for three turns.

Yes, and Galarian Weezing's new ability is OP. When on the battle, its ability neutralise every other pokemon's abilities.

You're right, the tan girl with silvery hair.

>Galarian Weezing
It is mostly gray with green toxic residue around it's mouths to give the impression of facial hair. And both of the developed heads have tall smoke stacks. It's supposed to be based on factories / early industrial tycoons, and yes, a lot of people are scratching their heads over the Poison / Fairy typing.

>No National Dex since Sun and Moon
Yes, but you can transfer mons without Dex entries into Sun and Moon. The difference here is that if a Pokemon doesn't appear naturally in Galar, you can't transfer it into Sword and Shield. So if Yanmega isn't in the Galar regional Dex, you can't bring it over to Sword and Shield.

Regional dex usually only have like 450 mons, right? So they're purposefully leaving out like half of all Pokemon?

Yes, apparently to focus on balance / work on animations for the Pokemon that did get in / other things.

To be fair, though, we don't know the size of the regional dex yet.

If a Pokemon isn't in the regional dex, you cant transfer it at all.

Ah okay, that's fair. Damn, I'm stoked for HQ animations. This is their first and prime game for switch, it's gotta be at least close to Zelda Breath of the Wild.

I see. I hope I can use Yanmega and Volcarona. Kind of a bummer that they're willing to cut Pokemon, though. It's like the start of the meltdown of a franchise.
What? I'm a bugfag. Get off my back

They won't, even average fans are having a meltdown. It was the last drop to fill our glass: yearly releases, less things to do, rehashed and rushed content... They sped up development by cutting Pokemon from Pokemon games ffs.

The biggest part was done around 2013 with XY's 3D models, they DID polish some colors for a bigger screen and that's the "quality animations" we're getting sold at 300+60+20 bucks. The console breaks, controllers break by design, paid online doesn't work that well. Switch Lite broke down 10 days after release.

Of course people memed to hell and back with Dexit (UK's Brexit + no full Pokedex).
