Weezing, for instance, is now a 1920s fat cat, and will be a Fairy/Poison type rather than the usual Poison type. Zacian and Zamazenta, Sword and Shield's legendary wolves.įollowing a feature introduced in Pokemon Sun and Moon, the Gelar region will have it's own variations of generations-old Pokemon. You can tell which Pokemon is exclusive to which game by the fact that one carries a sword in its mouth and the other is basically half wolf and half shield. Then, of course, there are Zacian and Zamazenta, the legendary wolves of Sword and Shield. But there are also already some standouts, like Corviknight, a raven Pokemon that doubles as a transportation service, Duraludon, steel/dragon-type Pokemon, and Yamper, who appears to be an electric Corgi, if you're into that type of thing.
There are some run-of-the-mill types, like Wooloo, that you don't need to fuss over. Nintendo has steadily drip-fed us information on other Pokemon since the launch trailer. It's Grookey, a green primate fellow who scares off Sobble in the trailer by beating his stick into a rock like a cheeky monkey warrior bashing a war drum. I can't believe I'm saying this, but in Gen 8 the grass-type Pokemon actually looks the coolest. The little guy doesn't look very confident in itself, but in the Pokemon universe that often means a fierce evolution looms.įinally there's the grass-type, which is usually kind of lame. Then there's Sobble, a stealthy water-type Pokemon that has the ability to camouflage itself. It harbors the power of fire within, but also looks like it could evolve into a fighting type, like Gen 3's Blaziken. Scorbunny is a bipedal white rabbit with red-tipped ears and feet. Each was profiled briefly in the Sword and Shield reveal trailer. Sobble, Scorbunny and Grookey are your three options here. Pokemon has changed a lot since 1996's Red and Blue, but one component hasn't: You still choose between a fire-, grass- or water-type starter Pokemon. Is a similar one in London? /D7W37IVmxy- Yasmin Down FebruA new start Here's a photo I just took of the real bridge! Hype for new Pokemon! That bridge in #pokemonswordshield is located in Manchester (in Castlefield), which makes me think that this city isn't London at all (except for Big Ben, a hybrid maybe?). We're assuming the housing market in the city is appropriately unaffordable. Plus, the northernmost city in the aforementioned region artwork has a clocktower, a ferris wheel and a bisecting, Thames-like river. The launch trailer depicts scenes that certainly look British, with fields reminiscent of England's countryside and buildings that look like English manors. Unova ( Pokemon Black and White) had a New York City vibe to it, while Kalos ( Pokemon X and Y) took on France and Alola ( Pokemon Sun and Moon) was a clear take on Hawaii. While Kanto, Johto, Hoenn and Sinnohh (Gen 1 to Gen 4 regions) are all inspired by different parts of Japan, the Pokemon team has looked at international regions to base newer games on. What we do know, though, is that the region is loosely based on the UK.Įach of the seven preceding Pokemon regions have been based on actual cities and areas. Based on official Nintendo art, Galar looks absolutely huge, and what we've seen in trailers presumably only gives us a taste of what wondrous sights are within. Sword and Shield take place in a region of the Pokemon world known as Galar. The latest game's region is loosely based on the UK. Bikes make a return in this game, and during trailers we see our Pokemon trainer bike across a body of water, suggesting a new bike model will replace the Surf HM. No.Another Let's Go feature noticeably absent from the Sword and Shield trailer is rideable Pokemon, which replaced bikes and flight skills (known in the games as HMs).
