Anyway yeah okay I guess I'm hyped again, lol. Theoretically these two islands should be more complete experiences than what the main story was, so I'm looking forward to them. New Galarians and new Pokemon is cool too, and hopefully there will be more new ones than what they just showed. Aside from Galarian Legendary Birds, it looked like new Electric and Dragon Regis. Shield gets superior Slowking and stays best version.

The fact that we're getting new Pokemon is bad news for Steiner's Board 8 Ranks the Gen 8 ranking project. Before the direct, Steiner was planning to start the project on May 24th. But if the DLC is going to introduce a substantial amount of new Gen 8 Pokemon, you wouldn't want them to be excluded from the project. USUM may have only introduced 5 new Pokemon, but we already know of 10 new Pokemon that are confirmed for the Sword/Shield DLC (including Galarian Forms). This includes the new Electric and Dragon Regis which we've only seen the artwork for, along with Galarian Slowbro/Slowking which haven't been shown yet but are implied to exist based on the reveal of Galarian Slowpoke.

It's hard to imagine that there won't be even more new Pokemon introduced in the DLC based on the very few amount of Pokemon that were revealed in the base game before release. I think the DLC is going to have a lot more Pokemon that we won't know about until the DLC releases.

Unfortunately, Steiner still isn't backing down on his plan to begin the ranking project on May 24th.
