Pokemon is a series that changes incrementally rather than drastically, and Sword is consistent with that history. Now some of them I recognized as pre-evolutions of Pokemon that have been shown off, but even so the fact that there are forms of these various Pokemon that were left for the player to discover is really exciting for me. The game’s early routes had plenty of Pokemon that I hadn’t seen in any trailers. The moment I hit start and Rose delivered the typical Pokemon introduction, I was shocked when I had no idea what the heck Pokemon came out of his Pokeball. If you only followed the official coverage of the game and didn’t look at any of the big Pokedex leaks, you enter this game with a ton of surprises still very much in store. Pokemon Sword has been quite different in that regard. We knew Galar forms, we knew starter evolutions, we knew the villains and side characters – by the time Pokemon Moon was actually in my hands, there were essentially no surprises left for me. We learned about Ultra Beasts and met many of them before ever taking our first steps into Alola. During the buildup to Sun and Moon, the Pokemon Company implemented an advertising strategy that involved the unveiling of nearly every single new Pokemon that would appear in the game. For me, the leadup to Sword and Shield was an exciting time, and now that I’ve played about two or three hours of the game there are a lot of things I love about it.įirst of all, while the PR around the issue of the National Dex was perhaps a little lackluster, I think they handled the rest of the game’s advertising perfectly. Some folks are fine with that and some aren’t – I personally don’t care where you fall as long as you’re not making death threats. Comparisons to Breath of the Wild ran rampant before the game was ever properly revealed or discussed, and perhaps because of these comparisons many were surprised when it turned out that Sword and Shield are just business as usual for the Pokemon series. As the first mainline Pokemon game to appear on a home console, many players expected Pokemon to be revolutionized. They are titles which come with a lot of expectation and baggage. Take care and stay healthy everyone.Pokemon Sword and Shield herald the eighth generation of Pokemon games. Well, those are my short, honest opinions on the new Pokemon games coming out soon. The frame-rating on the Pokemon models in the overworld was indeed pretty choppy during the presentation, but they have time to fix that before the game releases in Spring next year. I’m super excited to see what I can explore and find in Ancient Sinnoh and how the god of all Pokemon, Arceus, will play a part in the game. As much as I enjoy the wild areas in Pokemon Sword and Shield, the presentation showed off what looks like a true open-world Pokemon experience. Honestly, Pokemon Legends Arceus is the game I’m most excited about. I’m particularly curious if they’ll make minor adjustments to the story in some way like Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire did and whether or not the game will continue to use Dynamaxed Pokemon or Mega-Evolutions might return. I will admit that the chibi art style for the overworld kind of threw me for a loop at first, but I am still interested in seeing what’s in store. Going into Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, I knew it was coming at some point since the fans have begged to the heavens for a remake of Generation 4 and now they’ve finally announced it.

I was already impressed with how gorgeous the game looked visually so I can’t wait to take all sorts of pictures of my favourite Pokemon in high definition.
I thought the original game was an enjoyable time for what’s a wildlife photography game and I’m interested to see what modern mechanics the new game will bring to the formula. I didn’t have any experience with the original Pokemon Snap game when I first owned a Nintendo 64 and it wouldn’t be until years later when I bought another N64 at my first convention and I wanted to add the original to my library of games. With the recent announcement of the upcoming games and the new Pokemon Snap game getting released at the end of the month, I thought I could share my first impressions.
