… You know, I totally forgot that this forum had that. I've been hyped up on Sword and Shield so much, I've been forgetting a lot of things lately. xD And upon recognizing that: @Candy @wcv @Maqqy @Filthy Casual @smeargletail @Autumn Zephyr @Monochrome_Complex @Wolfox @Teto @Abyssreaper99 @SilverHelio I added a poll because I was just reminded that that feature is on this site. xD So if you don't mind, vote your favorites. And yes. If you have more than 1 favorite, I made it to where you can vote on more than 1. I know this isn't maybe all that exciting but I'm just loving knowing what all of you like about these new games. Especially the starters. Hopefully I'm not annoying everyone with this...

So I saw this video and thought it was interesting with what they were saying and discussing so I thought I'd post it here for any of you that are still in the Pokemon Sword and Shield hype. I'm gonna be honest, I've probably watched over 100 reactions and some discussions/theories/whatever about this stuff and I still get giddy as if I'm seeing it for the 1st time.

Alright. I know this ain't a competition but... where are all the Grookey people at?! Lol.

... very good point.

Btw, is it just me or does it sound weird to anyone else with Scorbunny's name? I mean I know it's supposed to be Scorch and Bunny but Idk.

Yo... That hurts my feelings you saying that about my fav starter in here... Lol. Jk. But really Electro Ball? This thing seems like it'd be more of a physical attacker than a special attacker.

I actually don't think Grookey looks all that cute... Well it's somewhat cute. I just think it looks cool as hell. Lol. @Candy I suppose that's true... I've said this like 1000 times already but I'm hoping for Fire/Steel or Fire/Electric for its final evolution.

Damn. That’s a sad pic of your fav. Lol.

Yea. It really looks like it's gonna go either Electric or Steel. I mean I'm fine with either but I am rooting a bit more for Electric.

I just don't see what everyone sees in that Pokemon. Lol.

Well the title says it all. So tell me. Are you part of the: Sobble Squad Grookey Gang Scorbunny Syndicate Me? I'm deff part of the Grookey Gang. I mean hey. It could change over the next couple of months but for right now, I'm definitely part of the Grookey Gang. What are your favorite 8th gen Pokemon as of now? Hell. I'll even do a poll for the fun of it.

He has a stick in his hair thing. He was using it to hit a rock... I’m thinking that’s deff gotta be Grass/Rock now. I mean I already did but that just solidifies it for me now.

Yo! So I just remembered that fire starters are related to the Chinese Zodiac Animal signs and look at this! They're continuing it. ALSO, I'm gonna make a bold prediction here and say that there will be 12 gens in all.

Here's an interesting topic to talk about here. When Sun and Moon were coming out, for like the past 9 months before it came out, I think the company would have trailers every week or every other week, basically "spoiling" almost everything about the game except for the story. Here's my question to you all. Should they do the same with Pokemon Sword and Shield or should they keep almost everything/half the stuff secret. In my opinion, I kind of hope they "spoil" everything. I LOVED seeing what was going to be in the game. Plus, I loved seeing content creators on YouTube make Thoughts & Ideas episodes about some of the trailers that would come out. And I was still pumped up about playing the game when I got it despite knowing almost everything about it.

Grookey apparently has a lot of guesses as to what his secondary typing his evolution will have. I've seen people say Dark and I've seen people say Rock. I don't see why Dark but Rock I can understand. But just going by how he looks, it screams Fighting Type but also a possibility of an Electric type just because of the fact of how his face is some what yellow. But I can totally see it getting Rock Typing. It's almost like a 3 way tie for me with this 1. I never saw Scorbunny as evolving into a Fairy Typing. Looks too... cocky? Not sure of the word to use there but yea. Never saw it getting that typing. I've seen some people saying it could be Fire/Ground. It'd be interesting buuuut I don't see that happening. Also, I hope, hope, HOPE it's not Fire/Fighting. Moving on from that though, I could definitely see it being Electric or possibly even Steel and the reasons behind these 2 are interesting. Steel because I could see it becoming some kind of speedy knight. Maybe have a weird but cool sword of some sort. (LOL! Pokemon Sword... Anyone?... I'm sorry.) And Electric because... of football/soccer. Electric types are known to be really fast and there seems to be some kind of football/soccer thing going on in this game and I could see it being apart of that somehow. I really have no idea what Sobble could be for its final evolution. I've heard people say Dragon and Psychic. I think there's like a 5% chance it'll be Poison but I think overall, it's gonna be Ghost. I mean yes. It can already hide itself in the water but if it continues its timid nature throughout it's evolutions, it'll be better for it to hide in other areas besides 1 with water. OR if it wants to get revenge in a way as it evolves, what scares people the most? Ghost type. So if I had to pick just 1 and not have like 3-4 guesses, I'd say: Grookey is gonna be Grass/Rock Scorbunny is gonna be Fire/Electric Sobble is gonna be Water/Ghost

I wanna say that castle looking place might be a bad guy place. It just screams it to me. There NEEDS to be Galaran forms in this game. Think of how many Pokemon can benefit from changing forms. Bouffalant could be like maybe Grass/Ground or something like that.

Ehh. I don't ever see us going back to any past regions. I mean it's only happened once and even then, it felt kind of rushed. Maybe if there was a story to why 1 would go to Kalos, then I'd say go for it. But if they don't, then I kind of hope they stay clear of that. EDIT: I know we're talking about the map right now, but I just really quick wanna say this. I SO want there to be Galaran Forms in this game!

To me, that just seems like it should be the place where everything is coming to a close. Like it's the Elite 4/Champion battle place. What caught my eyes is the 2 to 3 houses on the left side of the map. They're kind of like in the middle of some kind of forest. What is that all about?

If you play Rejuv, it'll prob be in there eventually. Lol.

Before I say anything, I'm not too sure if this is the right place to put this topic of sorts but if it's not, please put it in the right place. So I woke up and I knew about the Pokemon Direct was gonna reveal something today. I watched it and boom! Gen 8! Really quick, just wanna say that I loved EVERYTHING I saw in the new games. So I decided to go watch some reactions to it. I always do that when a new game is coming out. I just love seeing everyone getting excited seeing new things. But what really got my attention was that a lot of people seemed to have been alright with the Pokemon name of the game or they hated it. I mean it kind of sucks that some hated it but what can you do. People's opinions and they're allowed to have it. And some of them I heard were saying they missed the color names of the games and they wished they brought them back. So it got me thinking of the past games with the colors in them. Red, Blue, Yellow, Green (I think this was only in Japan) Gold, Silver, Crystal, Sapphire, Ruby, Emerald, Pearl, Diamond, Platinum, Black, White and then some of their remakes. But then I thought of something. Not ALL of these are just colors. Think about it. 2nd gen, 3rd gen and 4th gen. While, yes, they are technically colors, they are also objects. This might sound like a weak opinion but I don't think those 3 gens are actually colors. I mean ok sure. The legends of the box art have on the games do represent the color of the game name in some way. But if you think about it, when we say most of those words, we usually don't mean it in just explaining a color. I mean let's be honest. Idk about all of you but I've never said I wanted a ruby colored object or a Platinum colored object. I would either say dark or light red or gray or black or whatever. I think you can all get what I'm saying here. So what if the Pokemon Company didn't really give us colors for those 3 gens but objects? It kind of makes sense to me they would do that. I mean if you take the color theme for the Gen 6 box art, the X is blue and the Y is red. Well if they wanted to continue with the colors, couldn't they have just called it say, Pokemon Azure and Pokemon Maroon? But they didn't. I think that throughout all the years, they were giving us names of objects. Not colors. I mean why else would they just immediately stop doing colors and start doing letters and the sun and moon? It make sense for them to be not calling their games by "colors" anymore if what I said is the case. If the creators of the game already said they were colors, then I guess this whole thing was for nothing. Haha. Ohh well. Now this might seem like a stupid topic and I wouldn't blame you for thinking that. But it caught my attention and I just felt like talking about it. What do you all think about it? I'd actually love to know your thoughts on this!
