EXP Share is permanent and always-on, like in LGPE.

There are 18 Gyms in Galar between the Major and Minor leagues, and which Gyms you challenge in the majors and minors varies between which version of Sword and Shield you play.

All they said about the Exp. Share is that it's no longer an item. THey didn't say whether you could switch it off. For all we know this could just mean that the on/off switch for it has moved from the Key Items pocket to the settings menu.

I'm actually hype AF for all 18 types being represented with a gym. The major and minor league thing is great and makes me hope we'll be getting a longer and more fleshed out story? But regardless we're finally getting a Dark type gym!!!

Yeah a lot of people clued onto that early and figured the third legend would have something to do with Yellow because of printer colours or I guess Black is an option?

DYANAMAX IS HOLOGRAMS WTF LMAO

What a horrible gen. No wonder GameFreak has been super tight-lipped about it. It's embarrassing.

I mean it makes more sense than having the Pokémon swell up to an enormous size. Think of it like Long Shadow from the DC universe. I actually think I’m more okay with Dynamax now that I know it’s a projection.

I think people are being little babies about the Pokedex thing.
Although, I've already got Mimikyu and Arcanine confirmed, so I can't talk.

18 Gyms comment was corrected. Major/minor leagues still a thing, but its just the explanation for the gym difference, im given to understand

Honestly the more we find out the less I'm interested in this gen, which is surprising because I started at more or less rock fucking bottom.

I don't want Pokemon to make sense. This is a world with animals who spontaneously evolve, have super powers and 10 year old children trek cross-country to become better at training said animals for pit fights. Trying to give magic a movie science explanation is horribly dumb.

Not only is holograms completely deflating the entire allure of Dynamax, reducing it from Rita Repulsa kaijuification to IMAX 3D, it's also ripping off Yu-Gi-Oh! basically doing the same thing. As if ripping of Mega Evolution from Digimon wasn't bad enough.

Then we have Gigantamax, which is going to have a limited distribution. And some Pokemon that are getting gigantamax: Pikachu, Meowth, and Lapras. Yeesh.

Literally the only thing to get excited for are the cute girls. At least that's still a plus.

I mean we don’t even know the source or lore behind Dynamax yet so you’re kind of just judging the book by its cover (and blurb in this case).

Eh, that statement heavily applies to the fandom's view on it as a whole. Dynamax has been bashed by the fandom from the moment it was revealed. Ż\_(ツ)_/Ż

Cover, back cover, and the first page in this case. We know more details than simply "Pokemon get bigger". We know the limitations, the Max Moves, and how it's a Galar-only phenomenon. We also know it's a flimsier version of Gigantamax, creeping Dynamax in its own debut generation for the limited number of Pokemon who have access to it.

The more that gets revealed about SS, the more I realize why the Pokemon anime decided to minimize focus on Galar and make a Let's Go/Masters focused anime. This game is going to be more toxic than a badly poisoned Tapu Lele.

Honestly yes it's a letdown but at the same time I think you're being ridiculous about the whole affair.

+1

also I haven't been tuning into this whole 24 livestream thing because I'm at work but it seems... much a letdown so far? we're like two and a half hours in and all we've seen is Pikachu, Morelull, and Phantump (according to Serebii). I mean I didn't expect constant new stuff but you'd at least think they'd kick it off with a new Pokemon or something right

EDIT: okay literally as I posted this was an Impadimp sighting... which we've already known about

So it seems we're getting Galarian Ponyta, and I for one am very disappointed with how bad this concept was executed.

Galarian Ponyta looks like a horse-shaped Delcatty.

If you eat one, does it taste like cotton candy?

So much hate, I think it looks great and is exactly how I’d want a Galarian Ponyta to look.

Not a fan of the look, and really really not a fan of regional variants to begin with (or the trend that we'll have a shitload of variants in each region instead of new Pokemon from now on).

I liked regional variants before SS.

I am not a fan of using regional variants as a way to sell cross-evos. Especially now that they're regional cross-evos meaning the original Pokemon are now total garbage.

And, compared to ugly designs like Duraludon, I'd rather have the sexy fairy pony.

I like how creative they're getting with the marketing this time around. Last time they just threw trailer after trailer at us, and while getting so much new info every month was very hype, it became considerably less so in hindsight once we realized they spoiled 90% of the game for us. There wasn't much we didn't get revealed to us beforehand- the Dewpider line, the Alolan Geodude line, the Mareanie line (and even then, some TCG merchandise leaked Mareanie's existence), Dhelmise, Cosmoem, a handful of Ultra Beasts... But yeah- this time around, they're playing things safer, exercising a lot more control over how much we get beforehand, and finding cool, creative new ways to get that info out to us, between the glitched Sirfetch'd reveal and now the 24 hour nature livestream for Galarian Ponyta. Gives me the impression they're really stepping up their game (bad pun fully intended, I'm not even sorry :P) this time around, and I for one am getting more hyped for SwSh by the day.

Galarian Ponyta probably isn't making it onto my team, but I like it fine. Very cute.
