I'd say about a week, I think? They've been doing these events for the past few weeks, I know there was a HA Corsola and Ponyta given away along with some rare pokeballs before.

I imagine it might end on Wednesday so I'd advise you to pick up the gifts sooner rather than later if you're interested.

If she's in Isle of Armour, I can see them making her into a Geisha or perhaps even a Hula dancer? Could see her being Fire/Psychic or Fire/Fairy.

If she's in the Crown Tundra, I can see them going full Elsa with her.

Either way, if she exists, I think she'll probably have a strong design. A regional form and/or evolution for Jynx has been requested for so long that Nintendo probably know there would be a lot of hype for it if they do it right.

I hope so! theres so many underrated ones that I'd love to see given a new form. Like octillery, sunflora, chimecho, dewgong etc.. Gamefreak love to pamper the same old dragons and lucario-esque pokemon each time

Apparently the pokemon in the Isle of Armour will scale to your level and the DLC will be available when you first reach the Wild Area in the story so you can play it through at any point in the story (or afterwards) after that.

Its out tomorrow isnt it? I wonder how it even works, like how do you even get it

There's going to be an 11 minute presentation today, it's likely gonna have some late announcements for the Isle of Armour (and will probably end when the DLC goes live). There's also apparently going to be news that isn't DLC related. My guess is that Pokemon Go will become compatible with Home and they'll announce a new spinoff game.

If any of y’all get it or see in reviews how much gameplay (time wise) the first dlc adds, let me know pls

I assume were getting it at 1?

2. I'm not sure if it's gonna be a stream or just a video uploaded to YT.

I've seen a lot of speculation that a Dynasty Warriors styled pokemon spinoff might be announced as well as whispers of Let's Go, Johto but I find both unlikely.

perched

bye @ a toothbrush game

im here for Pokemon snap :love:

That... was a waste of time aside from Snap, obvi.

Bloody phone rang as I was watching the stream :fist: saw halfway through Pokémon snap then missed the new Go stuff

If the announcement next week isn’t Sinnoh remakes is2g

surely it has to be! if its some crappy pokemon GO or lets go thing I-

cannot wait to be punished for using a wrong filter on a photo of Lucario on the new Snap

I'd be shocked if it was Sinnoh given that they'll still be supporting Sword and Shield with DLC until November which would typically be when a new mainline game would launch.

It'll be a spinoff game, I think. Possibly Pokken 2 or maybe the Let's Go, Johto rumours will come to fruition. I don't think we'll see a Sinnoh announcement until this time next year.

I think it’ll be let’s go Johto bc of all the Johto stuffed Pokémon that were behind him on the shelf

The Isle of Armor is huge, way bigger than the Wild Area with more variety in landscapes and such. I've not done a whole lot of the story yet but I've heard it's meant to be quite short but there's some optional side stuff that will keep you busy for a while on top of the story.

I didn't notice but you could be right. I wonder if the Johto games will feature Eevee and Pikachu again or two pokemon from Johto? Pikachu and Eevee are the mascots so I doubt it but it'd be interesting if they went for two new pokemon to lead the games. Marill would probably be one of them but I can't really think of another. Probably an obvious one I'm forgetting.

Togepi

imagine they gave us Togepi and we cant evolve it into Togekiss ill riot

Yeah, the problem with Togepi is that it's a baby pokemon. I just don't see it unless it's Let's Go, Togetic which I don't think is likely.

Chances are it'll just be Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee 2. I think.

tbh id rather they just scrap another lets go game and focus on more interesting stuff like snap etc

LG2 would be great if it ends up being like Gold/Silver where you can go to Kanto afterwards

if they can give us some good graphics and more interesting stuff in the story then ill be here for it. Lets go Pikachu/Eevee was a bit of a bore :skull: the graphics were so minimal compared to sword/shield. I think it was gamefreaks way of getting fans to buy a switch before gen 8 started

I liked Let's Go although the capture mechanics became a ball ache near the end.

If Let's Go, Johto is a thing, I imagine it'll be a fairly traditional remake of Crystal like how Let's Go was a remake of Yellow. I do hope they mix it up more than they did with the first one though.

The isle of Armour is huge, I went exploring before going to the first main bit and got so lost :skull:

I preferred Let’s Go to SW/SH, the latter had no story and was far too easy, not saying LG was hard but at least there was a bit of a challenge in places

I'd say there's more story in Sw/Sh tbh, it just mostly happens when you get to the last city since the rest of the game prior to that is you Sonia and Leon taking care of things while you do your gym challenge. It had a better story than LG though, I thought. The old game's barely had a story so I'd take a badly paced one over something non-existent. I do think LG was easier as well although neither games were difficult. Honestly, the last time Pokemon was a challenge was Cynthia in the Diamond/Pearl games.

Yeah, there's so much to it, It makes the wild area look like ****.

Remember in the OG games when you could only give XP Share to one pokemon and you didn’t get it for catching mons either :flutter: good times

I like the XP changes but they really should up the challenge in other areas.

Yeah they have made to games progressively easier for past few generations

We’re the let’s go games actually any good? I didn’t play them because the mechanics looked pretty awful

Yeah, the no battling for wild Pokémon was odd to begin with but you get used to it. Also very odd getting Eevee to use fly :joker:

They were fun but they were limited. You could only catch the first 150 pokemon and they didn't have access to their evolutions from the later games although Alolan forms and mega evolution does make an appearance. There's also no breeding and such so if you like raising pokemon from eggs then you'll have no luck in those games.

It's kind of a weird mix of old and new since, in a lot of ways it's a faithful remake of Yellow but there's also innovations such as no random battles introduced in this game that carried over to Sword and Shield.

I enjoyed it for what it was but don't expect those games to be as robust as the main pokemon games are.
