Maybe this is the direct they use to finally apologize.

Or DP remakes and DLC more than likely.

Give us mystery dungeon or Snap 2 ffs gamefreak... you're like a stepdad. I always wait with a little hope that you'll turn into a positive part of my life but there has been so many burnt bridges I'm never surprised by your actions, only disappointed.

Probably just new G-max stuff. Small possibility of Gen 4 remake announcement maybe.

I guess they'll also announce the new events for the Wild Area, as the current events end sometime today.
---

IT BEGINS

Let's go!
---

New Mystery Dungeon for the Switch.

That's going to please the Mystery Dungeon fans, at least.
---

It didn't need a remake
This is a lazy cash grab

---

oh wow, they actually did a thing people might likeb
---

Did he dye his hair

its like a 15 year-old portable game

if that doesnt qualify for a remake, what does ?
---

Expansion Pass announced for Sword/Shield.

Unsure of what content will be contained in this.
---

Go fuck yourself, Gamefreak
Releasing a incomplete game and then announcing a expansion pass

---

...Galarian legendary birds?

also did the video just repeat itself or did I click back and not realize it?
---

Why are they repeating the footage 3 times

---

Well, that trailer was quite something. I saw what appeared to be possibly regional forms for Articuno, Moltres, and Zapdos. I also saw what appeared to be G-Max Blastoise and Venusaur.
---

No seriously what the fuck is this bullshit

---

As someone who enjoyed Pokemon but just don't have time to play as much as I used to, I am pretty happy with this!

---

Trailers were dope not gonna lie
The maps looked linear just as expected but tons of new Pokemon is always good

---

is this a child
---

Luster how many rule 34 of Klara there are?

---

aww I like lil Cubfoo
---

Lmao you have to pay more to get the rest of the pokedex, now I get it.

Yeah I'm out.

---

Missing Venusaur, Blastoise and the Gmax forms of the starters is clearly something that was cut from the base game just to be in the DLC

No you don't
They are both free, as a compesantion for not having the entire National Dex

Just kidding it will probably be $30 each and will include version exclusives so if you want all of them solo you gotta spend 120 on both versions, then 60 for first dlc, then another 60 for second dlc
Enjoy

---

That is an orange Zapdos

OK they can take my money

---

Well at least they will patch them into the base games

---

oh theyre letting you get all the Pokmon from Home or trades even if you dont have the expansions

so its not such a bad cash grab after all
---

HOME release next month
So now I have a entire month of free time yay

---

Oh yeah $30 each just like I said
Ugh

---

that was a weird abrupt end to the stream that definitely wasnt intentional !
---

They actually ended the stream before it was over
Amazing tech job

---

you'll also be able to act THANK YOU FOR WATCHING

Oh yeah $30 each just like I said
Ugh

it said it was 30 for the whole expansion pass, which would make it 15 each
---

Ok so theyre bringing in about half the missing pokemon for free. That makes me more inclined to buy the actual passes.

---

probably due to that part where it skipped back

---

Nanis23 posted...

Oh yeah $30 each just like I said
Ugh

I think $30 each means $30 for the sword pass and $30 for the shield pass rather than $30 for the armor and $30 for the crown
---

almost national dex

---

I guess the rest of the Pokdex will be available in 2021 for $30 more.

---

Adding 200 means we will have 600 out of the about 900 Pokemon
At this point just add the last 1/3 and get it over with and make everyone happy

---

this one wasn't cut but it was only like 20 more seconds of stuff

---

if GF had kept up their previous model we'd be paying $60 next year for a Super Sw/Sh that's just this content tacked on to vanilla swsh again, so I'd say being able to get just the new content for $30 isn't too bad a deal! :V

Nintendo uploaded the full video now. All that was cutoff was new clothing available as a prepurchase bonus for buying the expansion.

Yeah, we might as well have gotten a third version because this is going to cost the same by the time we're done.
---

Yeah, give me that new content at $30 over paying full price for an entire game with marginal differences to the first two any day.

At this point I'm more excited for Pokemon Home than anything else Pokemon. Pokemon Bank is the only reason I still own a 3DS.
---

The Pokedex updates themselves are free, though
---

I don't care for Pokmon Home until there's a game where I can store everything I have. I don't want to pay a subscription for years until they finally put something I have in there in a game again.
---

That new mythical looks so weird

---

I'm surprised they didn't directly mention Legend of Zelda by name, since they seem to be crossing over with it.

---

I only care for Home when it makes a shiny charm easier to get.
That said, they need to be clearer on what the expansion pass costs. Because it sounded to me like you'd buy both locations at once.
