I've started this discussion board for anyone who is remotely interested in sharing some ideas about the upcoming Gen. 8 games, and for you all to stay informed when updates do come, because trust me, I will be staying right the fuck on top of this.

The new starters look like the mascots you'd find on dollar store cereal boxes

Honestly, they are the best looking first stage starters we've gotten since Gen. 3

Piplup was my fave
Then again I started the games with sinnoh
I'm biased for cute looking starters
I also like Chikorita

Litten is also cute

And fennekin

You don't find Sobble and his confused as fuck face adorable?

No

Didn't like any of the kanto starters either

I'm like brock's mom in the anime
I'm obsessed with cutsie type pokemon except i'm not restricted to one type

And I'm.not a shitty parent either

Scorbunny’s final form.

Wooloo: Another mareep, only without the electric typing and no tail. Is transparently a sheep. Looks physically defensive, most likely a vanilla normal type.

Gossifleur: Another flower grass type. Looks like it should be the evolved form of something else except it's not. Looks to be an early game mon for catching. Not too much to think about really...

Eldegoss: Evolved form of Gossifleur. Looks like roselia and whimsicott had and unholy love child and it got a perm. Probably a Venusaur sleep/poison/paralysis spreader. Could possibly gain spore and looks to be physically defensive and possibly fast as well.

Drednaw:Snapping turtle pokemon. Maybe a water type, but could maybe be a dragon. Mostly likely has a mediocre ATK with pitiful speed. I predict it just being completely non-viable.

Addendum: This is water/rock, which means it sucks

Corviknight: A badass-looking raven pokemon. Legit looked like a Red-Eyes Black Dragon when I first saw it. Could be a more competitively viable Honcckrow with flying and dark typing, maybe with comparable power, just more speed. Please for the love of God GF, make this thing good.

Addendum: It's actually flying/steel.... shit

Zacian (Sword): A wolf with a sword in it's mouth... Kinda lame imo. Steel/Normal type? Idk honestly.

Zamazenta (Sheild): A much cooler legendary wolf with a sheild for a face and the main reason I pre-ordered Sheild today after watching the direct. Only complaint is that he looks exactly the same as Zacian without a sword and with a sheild instead. Kind of unimaginitive, then again, Latios and Latias exist.

Wild Area: Main catching area around Galar. Pokemon you can catch change dependant on the time of day and the weather. Pokemon in the overworld confirmed, so it's like playing Pokemon Go in a Pokemon game.

Camera Control: A neat feature to accent how open-world this Pokemon Game will be, and that make me feel excitement and arousal.

Dynamax: Kaiju Pokemon battles. Makes the Pokemon big and supposedly also much stronger, though it only lasts three turns, so protect will probably become a top-tier move dependent on how prominent Dynamax Pokemon become.

Co-Op Max Raid Battles in the wild area: BEST FUCKING FEATURE EVER,EVERYONE GET A SWITCH SO THAT WE CAN CATCH BIG KAIJU BOIS! Only one player can Dynamax their pokemon in a raid battle against the boss monster, so this will most likely lead to strategy for Gen Z players, and arguments amongst Gen Alpha players... The little shits.

Leon: Champion of Galar, transparently the villain of this story due to writing tropes.

Hop: Rival with an ok design, but a terrible name and looks to be just as obnoxious as Hau.

Prof. Magnolia: An old lady.

Sonia: Magnolia's grand daughter/assistant and also a hot piece of ass. Looking forward to the hentai made around this character.

Milo: Grass type Gym Leader (probably the first GL in Galar). Looks like an unholy love-child of Krillin and Stawberry Shortcake who is six years old and has been training with Larry the Lobster for seven.

Magnolia is a flower I do believe

So not continuing the tree names but still a plant, also the two legendaries are in the Red, White and blue, if you didn’t notice

@Duke of Petchington It’s a flower which grows off of a tree sharing the same name.

Wooloo is the purest Pokemon ever

Nessa: Revealed at today's E3 to be the second gym leader in Galar. A specialist in water-type Pokémon, her ace appears to be Drednaw as it was the Pokémon she Dynamaxxed in the demo. While the "Valley-Girl" circles online have already taken a shine to her, I must admit, she is quite the cutie.

Flat chested.

In addition, we also got to see a demo of some gameplay for Sword and Shield today, with a focus on Dynamax raids. Four trainers cooperating together get to challenge a Dynamax raid boss at various Pokémon Dens located around the Wild Area. The opportunity to Dynamax is available to one player in the raid, and once the raid boss in defeated, each trainer will have a turn to try and capture the raid boss. (Essentially, this means only one person can walk away with the Pokémon, while others will be forced to take the booby-prize of whatever items you can obtain from this raid. Another thing to keep in mind is that once per turn, each player can only attack once, however, the Raid Boss seems capable of attacking multiple times per it's turn, and can also target multiple adversaries. We also saw that these Raid Bosses have a shit-load of HP which makes Raids a bit more of a challenge, especially coupled with the fact that each player can only go in with 1 Pokémon selected from their party or PC (which again, is portable in this game) and that the Dynamaxxed Raid boss gains a barrier after it drops below half health, where the player has to knock it down with multiple attacks before they can proceed to damage the Raid Boss further.

I think she meant to represent Indian immigrants

While we're on it, this leak has been gaining quite a lot of legitimacy with the release of the direct last week and the E3 reveal this afternoon, so I'll post this up here so we ca possibly see all the newest features yet to be revealed to the public.

Also, we may have had the main protagonist's names revealed at today's E3, as the female character was named "Gloria" and the male's name was "John". However, these may have just been placeholder names, and only time and the release of the manga will tell us for certain.

NEW LEAK FROM THE DEMO: This trainer just threw out a never-before-seen Pokemon called Impidimp!

ANOTHER ONE! his time it's an electric-type resembling a Corgi! The name is different: Yamper, but add this one to the list to make the leak even more credible!

Ok... bad news now. Evidently, not ALL of the Pokémon from previous generations will be available for transfer to Gen 8 via Pokémon Home, only the ones in the regional dex. In addition, megas and z-moves evidently will not be included in the code as well. This does not mean they will not be included later on via DLC, but that has yet to be confirmed. Needless to say, I'm pissed.

I want a wooloo ono It looks so cute

Wooloo is the best Pokémon, change my mind.

Best Pokémon

Traps are gay, Foster.
