You’ll Explore the Galar Region!
Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield will be set in Galar, an expansive region with many environments—idyllic countryside, contemporary cities, thick forests, and craggy, snow-covered mountains. The people and Pokémon live together in this region, and they’ve worked together to develop the industries here.
You’ll visit the various Gyms in the Galar region, aiming for the enviable and admirable title of Champion!

Grookey: Grass
Scorbunny: Fire
Sobble: Water
i'm really afraid that bunny turn out into fire/ground, the grass one look like a fanmade chimchar alternative artwork lol
water is probably the worst, so it means the last evolution will be supercool
zacian and zamazenta are terrible, they look like the village people version of the musketeers pokemon from gen 5
wooloo new fav pokemon
corvinight has a cool design, then u read is flying/steel and.. wtf?
dreadnaw isn't that bad
This design is so good, but I'm worried that the Pokémon will suffer from Vikavolt stats.

I'm fairly confident that the popular opinion is globally as follows:
- Corviknight looks badass.
- Wooloo looks cute. So much floof, would pet.
- The professor looks like the Queen of England.
- Sonia is hot.
- Zacian (Sword) is more popular than Zamazenta (Shield).
- The legendary designs are kinda bland.
- Hop is a silly name for a rival. Will be hard to take him seriously.
- Mirio suffers from what I'd call babyhead.
It's also a popular opinion that Wooloo might evolve into a ram and get a Steel or Rock typing. I expect it to stay pure Normal.
After hearing in Drednaw's pokédex entry about it biting through rock and iron, my mind started racing. This can be done in 2 cool ways and in some other, lame ways.
Cool methods:
- A Fighting or Ground type Bite attack. They are both super effective against Rock and Steel (iron).
- An ability similar to Freeze Dry, where an extra super effectiveness is slapped on to the attack.
Lame methods:
- Water bite.
- No new bite move.
And I guess Dynamaxing is a thing now. It will take up an item slot, so megas and Z-s cannot be mixed with them, but it will be terrifying to know that now each team can have 1 Mega, 1 Z, and 1 Dynamax. Protect and Detect might have more relevance now than ever.
Alright Ill be the first to say it.
I think most of the new pokemon yall are talking about look lame.
Corviknight looks like a pidgy spearow love child that got dipped in black paint.
Now, i should disclose Ampharos is my fav pokemon of all time so i might be biased. Wooloo looks like a hippy mareep. I dont like it.
The legendaries do seem a little bland, but I do kinda like the sword/shield design. Toss Haxorus in there and its like an armory.
Dreadnaw looks like a Blastoise/Feraligator mix. But i do like it. If his shiny looks like Bowser I will eat a sock and be happy about it.
The characters and new mechanics i know nothing about so i wont comment on them. I will quote Insig whenever i can tho and say "The new professor is okay, but her granddaughter is a waifu."
