No! I'm hoping we get the normal version of them cause all the fossil pokemon are ice type, and then we're getting a tundra area with ruins and dungeons so maybe...? Also we're getting previous fossil pokemon I think I saw aurorus?

That could be interesting! They could have a new fossil person, maybe they hate the other fossil person cause they make abominations lol.

Honestly the announcement of DLC is amazing because if they're adding in new areas and pokemon, do you think this is a step towards a full world pokemon game...?

I mean I think they look larger than what people think. Cause if you look at the artwork for the armored isle and compare it to the video footage it looks like some of it isn't on the "map"

I played the demos. I'm pretty hyped for it. I love the aesthetic they've given it.
I have a hunch gen 4 remakes are in the works. I keep seeing a lot of promotional stuff with the gen 4 starters and im like 👀

First thoughts on shield, spoilered in case people still don't have the game yet. The opening scene was nice. Although to tell the truth I feel like they missed a great opportunity to voice act, or at least have some kind of sims-like tone during the theatrical scenes. I know it would have been one more thing and they haven't exactly had voices before but like... With a scene like that not having some kind of vocals over the cheering felt wrong, y'know? He's an announcer he should have a loud booming voice over the crowd.
The way they introduced the legendary and the story is honestly fantastic. Walking into the stadium for the first time really did almost make me feel nervous and excited for what was next. My trainer id number is 414244 (no joke) so I picked the number 42 as my jersey. Although I can only imagine how many other people picked that for the hitchhikers joke. It's one of the things that makes you feel involved though like having a nickname among your friends in X and Y.
The wild area is... not hat big lol. For being the thing they drummed on and hyped up the entire time when I finally got there it was a massive disappointment. And only seeing the same humdrum 3 pokemon pop out of the grass gets boring. I thought the weather was supposed to change but it just stayed raining for me all last night and I was playing for about 6 hours. Also for having such beautiful routes and scenery in the towns they sure didn't put ANY good scenery in the wild area. It looks so bland. And I still can't get over the shitty tree texture. Who thought that looked good?
Camping was also pretty lackluster playing and talking with your pokemon but tbh it's a step back. I just wanna pet the lil bastards and I CAN'T. Added on top of the fact my chewtle was like "Chelly looks like it wants to be petted" during battles and like I WANT TO PET YOU! YOU'RE BABY! i CAN'T! hhhhhhhhhhHHHHHHHH. Also I can't figure out how to cook worth beans. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong but I keep making bad food. The controls for waving and stirring are just too hard and don't respond right. Maybe it's my controller but I doubt it because the switch is still basically new and i don't use it much.
I felt the overall balance of gameplay is good though. When I got to the wild area my team was level 9-11 and I was getting slaughtered by level 12-14s so that provided a good challenge of what to do next. And by the time I got them all to 14 route 3 and 4 up it again. It made sure I had to take time to grind instead of zooming through. I think it's funny though that the trainers on the route are easier to beat than some of what's in the grass.
By the time I got to the first gym, I had a full team of level 20s including Scorbunny (don't want him to evolve, I don't like his evos but I still love him.) Chewtle, Linoone, Thievul, Stunky, and Meowth. The gym challenge was kinda fun, and the gym challenge itself was... lackluster. I was told by friends that "oh you have to dynamax or you'll get squished." But that was not the case. I didn't even touch dynamax and honestly I don't plan to just as my own personal game challenge. I've never liked the battle gimmicks. I never mega evolved in x/y or used a z move in s/m so I'm not about to start dynamaxing now. I hope the next gyms aren't so easy for me.
After that I went back to the wild area to see if it had stopped raining like it was previously but it didn't. I caught some of the stuff I had passed up on earlier. Then I went shopping and changed my hair. I don't like that the clothes have like "brand" labels on them. It looks tacky as hell. I hate it in real-life and I definitely hate it in a game.
Also WHY a are ALL of the characters so goddamn insufferable!? Holy shit I want Hop to just go die somewhere. I can't wait to ruin his life and stomp him down like the worthless piece of trash he is. Leon too but at least Leon has some fricking manners every now and then but his ego needs to be taken down. Sophia is whiny and needs to grow tf up. Bede is a little snot and I'm so glad I punched his little rich bitch face right in. Marnie was the only tolerable one but knowing she has team yell she'll probably become annoying and mean to me later too.

Oh and yeah, it definitely wasn't worth 60$ so I am having some buyers regret. I should have just waited longer.

I'm not surprised you didn't like it. Call it a gut feeling lol.
I personally enjoyed it! But I can totally see where you're coming from haha. The characters got better, in my eyes at least, as the game went on.

I'm actually very pleased with the balanced gameplay. I think if they just like. Made the wild area better and had it stop raining all the friggin time I'd be more impressed. But it is britain so i guess the rain makes sense but id like to see more than wingull and tympole for once. >:\

I don't have Shield and don't intend to get it anytime soon. Not for $60, anyway. That said, Corviknight is the best regional bird since Staraptor and Hattena is my BABY.

I enjoyed Shield quite a bit. Still, 60$ is too much. And then there's the extension pass. Sure, two new areas and more pokémon sounds neat. And I don't even mind paying for the new areas. But the pokémon? Can't say I'm not a little iffy about that.
I'm more excited for the PMD1 remakes, though. Is anyone else getting the game? If so, who's going to be your partner and which pokémon do you want to be? I think I'll choose Eevee and Cubone (No more gender-locked Eevee!). Probably not the best team, but they'll do well enough.

Got a bit farther. My team is now more like how I want it so thats nice. Copperjah, Obstagoon, Toxtricity, Salazzle, Xatu, and still my Scorbunny for now. But I want to swap xatu and scorbunny out for the Impidimp line and Sableye.

I'm not sure I'm gonna get the PMD1 remakes, at least not at the moment. I don't think its worth the $60 price tag probably more like $40-50 like Link's Awakening should have been. But its Nintendo, they'll charge the full amount on their IPs because they can
