I'm grabbing Shield on the sole purpose that I'm apparently the only person on the planet that either A. Isn't crying about the nat dex and/or B. Dead set on Sword.

I thought Bea was in Shield.

Nope, she’s exclusive to Sword. The Ghost-Type Leader is Shield.

Wonderful! We shall venture forth into Shield Galar together my Dunsparce pal in search of an evolution for you.

Pokémon put up a new website today that allows you to add a SwSh Pokémon to your smartphone photos and Dynamax them.

Which is kind of cool in and of itself, but the most important part is that THE SWORD AND SHIELD POKEMON IS FINALLY CONFIRMED FOR SWORD AND SHIELD!!!!

Hopefully it gets a a gigantomax

It'd be fun if it's Gigantomax varied between games.

I really wish we could get announcements of more version exclusives. I can’t pick a version until I know what new exclusives there are beyond the dogs and whatever Leekduck’s counterpart would be.

Could the show ends in the ninth season ?

It is kinda being rebooted apparently so no. Hope there is no Ash, Jessie, and James.
