So it seems we have gotten the TINIEST (& I can't express how tiny it is) bit of information about the new Pokemon Sword and Shield games. It is confirmed that the stadium-like buildings are the actual Gyms. Many of us basically figured that out as soon as we saw the trailer last week. BUT, the bit of new info we got is that the people that run the gyms aren't called Gym Leaders. They are referred to as Gym Masters. https://www.serebii.net/

This is a rumor but we will actually see if at least the 1st paragraph of it is real! Btw, I got this from a video I screenshotted. Thought it'd be easier and quicker for you all to see it like this than in a video format. I'm writing in this next part because the video I screenshotted it from had their facecam over most of the sentence here. "You can do the 1st 3 stadiums in Galar in any order. Fire, water and grass" The only thing I'm hoping for is the trailer. I wanna see new stuff. But like I said, it's just a rumor.

Arbok Crest: +20 in both Attack and Speed and any biting move has a chance to badly poison the opponent.

Yea. I've been wondering what they're gonna do about that.

I swear you were gonna say something COMPLETELY different! XD Lol.

Idk about that. I know he's doing a Tomb Raider marathon playthrough on Twitch and he has 4 new Pokemon playthroughs he's gonna be doing. 3 of them are done or started or whatever and 1 has yet to be started and he wants them all to be started before anything gets uploaded.

You know what I wish they would add to the character customization? Weight. I mean I wouldn't mind playing a bit of a heavier character throughout this region. Prob won't happen but I'm hoping for it.

I was SO confused at the beginning. I was like "why is Vanilla so shy all of a sudden?" And then I saw that it was Shelly and it all made sense. This honestly is probably my favorite episode just because of that. It was great seeing Shelly beat down Blake. (Even though he kind of beat himself up with that Surfing Walrein) Great episode! And yes. The sprite looks awesomely awesome!

And wow. I didn't even notice that. xD Maybe I need glasses. Lol. Yea. I think that's probably more plausible. Omg! I've probably rewatched the GameXplain thing like 20 times now. And I mean like all 3 of their videos. It's so fascinating what they bring up. I hope whenever we go onto trains, it's not just we go on and go directly to the destination. I'd love it if we could explore the cars as we're riding on it.

Soooo I just saw something veeerrrry interesting. It's about the map. Let's take a look at it. Looks normal right? You think that from the starting place, you just walk up through the open forest like area and go into that city like area but hold on. The starter place is all cut off by the mountain. Which means you can just walk up through all of that open area. So what do you do? That train station. I think that's where you'll go to get out of there and you'll probably end up in that red building. Do whatever you have/want to do there and then you'll be allowed to explore all that open land. Idk if I'm stupid and just NOW saw that and everyone else saw it but yea. I thought that was interesting.

Ehh. I never really had that 1 favorite canon Pokemon game. I kind of liked all of them... except for Black & White 2. Those are the only 2 that I've never finished. I just couldn't get into the story. But I get what you mean. I still think this is gonna be fucking awesome as hell. I already know that when I get these games (which prob won't be until Christmas because that's when I got all the other games xD) I'm gonna be playing this for like 24 hours and I'll prob still won't be done but boy, is it gonna be fun.

So apparently, the same guy who did this has put out another I guess "leak" (although I'm not believing it until we see some new trailers or whatever) and these are what he said will be in the game. I couldn't find the pic so I'm just writing it down from the video I saw. Btw, anything written in parenthesis is me thinking what this could mean. Exscalebur and Trojallant both are part Steel types (I'm guessing these are the assumed legendaries he's talking about) Team Magic are literally angry wizards (Evil Team?) There are 11 different Ancient Armors (I have NO clue what this could mean but it has me curious) Mewtwo, Charizard and Zeraora each have Armored Sword and Armored Shield version exclusive evolution (Sooo… we're gonna get Charizard with a Sword or Shield? Lol.) There are only 64 new Pokemon (This would be kind of a huge bummer if proven right but I'm just happy for a new game so I can live with this if it's true) 3 new eeveelutions (This 1 I'm actually hoping is true. The last 1 we got was Sylveon and that was like 6/7 years ago?) So that's everything the guy had said would be in the game. What do you all think? For me, I'm kind of hoping that there are more than 64 new Pokemon. But if not, I can still live with it. But I'd definitely be down for more eeveelutions. And if there are to be 3 guaranteed in this game, no doubt Steel and Dragon would claim 2 of those spots but the last 1 I would feel would either be Rock, Ground or Ghost.

Speaking of ideas, I have 1! Now tbh, I did get this from a YouTube vid but I kind of forgot everything it said except for a couple of things. Now with how we're speculating the starters to do with some kind of action is no doubt correct. But I whole heartedly believe that they do not have to do with 1 thing. It's 3. Now I'm not TOO sure but I think the UK are hugely known for these 3 things. Soccer/Football, Music and Theatre. So let's put the Pokemon with the write activity shall we? Soccer/Football = Scorbunny Music = Groovey Now those 2 are more than likely what they're being referenced to. But then that leaves Theatre. Theatre = Sobble ? Maybe not now at its base evolution but what if it evolves, it's timid nature becomes more... dramatic? As if its putting on a show? Idk. It doesn't sound too... "Farfetch'd" to me. … I'll never do that again. But yea. If we try to base it around Theatre, then I say its final evolution with most likely be either Psychic or Ghost. But who knows. What do you all think? And if I'm wrong about what's big in the UK, then I apologize but hey. THE HYPE IS STILL HERE! (with me and hopefully a lot of you too)

Sorry. I'm stupid and I always think theories are just like opinions. Haha.

Alright. I was expecting Grookey to lose out to Sobble but Scorbunny?! Where's all the people for the Grookey Gang?! (Just in case, I'm just joking. I'm not serious about that.)

I really hope it is Fire/Electric. Like, I'm 99% it will be that but that 1% is still maybe Fire/Steel. I'm fine with both but it'd be really cool with Electric. Sobble is the 1 that's just up in the air. I've heard Poison, Dragon, Ghost, Dark, Bug and Psychic. Out of all of those, Psychic and Ghost seem more like what it'll be although I'm starting to think it's a bit on the Psychic side. Only because in some shows (Yes. My theory is from some tv shows) when a person is sad and they're sobbing, they're able to do some MASSIVE damage with their Psychic powers. And if Sobble keeps its sadness throughout its evolution, that could be how it gets even more powerful. No. No. No. No Normal Type for the funky monkey. I wouldn't want Normal Typing for ANY starter. Even Mudkip. (Yes. Mudkip is the way I dislike the most out of all now 24 starters) I don't hate Normal Type though. Just pointing that out. Anyways, I definitely seeing Grookey being Grass/Rock. And let's pay attention to that little stick it has in its... hair? Leaves? Idk. But it was using that to hit the rock. I bet when it evolves, that will grow bigger and maybe it'll get some kind of drum to go along with the stick. Also, it sounds like it to me, but did anyone else notice that when you started hearing Grookey smack the stick against the rock, it was going along with the music that was playing?

A lot of people are thinking Grass/Rock as am I. We don't have a lot of those. I think it's just the Lileep evolution line that has those 2 typings.
