Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield

WELP LOOKS LIKE I'M BUYING A SWITCH THEN
 
Liking the environmental designs so far.

I'm reserving judgment on the starters until I've seen the final evolutions.
 
Pokemon has been going cutesy for a while now, there was an interview somewhere talking about the trend of people preferring the less monster-like designs over time. Making them smooth and rounded works better for 3d models I guess but I personally hate it. I'm almost surprised they don't look like this, although that's pretty close for the water starter lol.

It looks nice but nothing really new was shown beyond the location and visuals. None of the starters click with me but I never take anything but the final stage into account when choosing pokemon so I won't say I'm going to ditch my starter in this game but I'll probably ditch them anyway

The names are the most impressive thing, I gave an audible what the fuck.

Not necessarily.

If they rationalized it like this, I wouldn't understand it myself. It's easier to model boxes than spheres, and it's certainly easier to uv boxes. I'd see more cylinders and boxes if they really want to have at simple designs.

also spheres manifested themselves in Torchic, Mudkip, Chespin, Squirtle, Oshawott, Popplio, Piplup, Snivy, Tepig, Rowlett, and everything else I forgot so this isn't new to this generation.
 
Team Scorbunny for me, love its design.
 
my namesake has "OnFire" so you can sorta guess which type I tend to gravitate towards to

no not water, i don't need to be doused.
 
I prefer Grass starters starting from Generation 5, only because Generation 3 and 4 already gave us bird Pokemon so I had to pick them.

Anyway, I can see that British humour has already been quite rampant regarding the games on Twitter, which is pretty funny to see. Like this one:
