It’s Pokémon not Pokemon.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Bearbro123 ( talk • contribs) 19:04, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
I'm i'm not really able to take time off currently to find pics, but, there was a nintendo direct, right? And they must have at least revealed the logo. The page would be a lot prettier with that on it. -Bearbro123 Update: Good Job!-Bearbro123 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bearbro123 ( talk • contribs) 19:04, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
Hey it's been a pretty long time, maybe literally 5+ years since I last used a Wikipedia talk page.
I'd like to question the use of the phrase "seemingly resembles" in the image of the game's map: "Sword and Shield are set in the Galar region, which seemingly resembles the shape of Great Britain as viewed from the north."
I don't quite understand why it isn't just "resembles", even if it hasn't been explicitly confirmed to be inspired by Britain.: "Sword and Shield are set in the Galar region, which resembles the shape of Great Britain as viewed from the north."
To resemble something means to be similar to something, usually in appearance, whether or not it's a coincidence. I think the phrase "seemingly resembles" is redundant. Other parts of the game's trailer resemble Britain so much that I don't think the phrase "seemingly resembles" needs to be said in this case instead of just "resembles".

Should there be a section about the current pre-release criticism following the Nintendo treehouse at E3, where they said they would not be allowing every pokemon from previous games to be transferred into the latest games? [1] rufioh talk sign 14:34, 16 June 2019 (UTC)
"Sword and Shield are set in the Galar region, which appears to resemble the shape of Great Britain as viewed from the north" this does not resemble Great Britain and so this part of the comment should be removed.
I am growing concerned about the "Reception" section getting increasingly verbose. User:Cyclonebiscuit apparently feels the need to catalog everything that's been going down with the pre-release controversy surrounding the games. I am also concerned that the section is one-sided in that it only talks about the negatives concerning the games. So let me ask: should we continue to allow mention of the controversy, or should we avoid covering it in the article? Electric Burst( Electron firings)( Zaps) 22:35, 5 July 2019 (UTC)
The controversy is there and definitely warrants inclusion but I agree that at this state it is quite overkill. Juxlos ( talk) 00:00, 6 July 2019 (UTC)
Here's a few news articles that I've seen that talks about and/or disputes one of the many complaints by fans: This page talks about how the fans' claims that Game Freak was being lazy towards the 3D models (which has been a highly humongous claim by fans who say that they were just porting the graphics from the 3DS era) is not true as the team had to rebuild everything from scratch. This one is another about the graphics claims, trying to use a bootleg Pokemon game as proof of Game Freak's laziness. Ashura Blaze ( talk) 03:03, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
The discussion here seems to have become dormant (only one comment in the last ten days), the section has been substantially modified since the POV concern was originally raised, and I believe the problems have been addressed. Does anyone ( Electricburst1996? InedibleHulk?) still have any concerns with the page as it stands now, or can we safely remove the NPOV tag? Lowercaserho ( talk) 01:05, 21 July 2019 (UTC)
Hello fellow Pokefans! I'd like to discuss the proposal of adding a short paragraph, probably two sentences, in the intro about Dexit. This is because of how much coverage there has been on the topic, even prompting a response from Gamefreak. I'm not asking for anything crazy, but I do think it should be noted. Thoughts? Cheers!

This page should not be speedily deleted because the reason is irrelevant. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:647:C980:BB00:2D1E:80C2:3890:6F24 ( talk) 07:44, 14 November 2019 (UTC)
Right now, only the "Dexit" response appears to be present as the main subject in the pre-release reception section; from what I've seen that was the original criticism when the announcement was made months ago, but others have popped up as information was leaked. Should those criticisms be added as well for a full breadth of the topic or should only Dexit stay since it was the most widely publicized? HapHaxion ( talk / contribs) 00:13, 14 November 2019 (UTC)
Hello Pokéfans. There seems to be a whole lot of shenanigans regarding the pre-release section. While I'd like to keep the section as it is, others want to remove it. Please discuss on whether to keep it or not. Cheers. ShalomSir ( talk) 20:13, 14 November 2019 (UTC)
That's not what I meant, but ok. ShalomSir ( talk) 22:44, 14 November 2019 (UTC)
Apparently there's a bug that can potentially delete game data, and you know how fanboys are... Half Shadow 19:14, 15 November 2019 (UTC)
I've checked over the article on Polygon, and from what I read it seems this is what they are stating within it:
In my opinion, a section regarding this glitch and its impact with players is note-worthy, and certainly should not come under any other element of the article, other than, possibly, a "Bugs" section. GUtt01 ( talk) 12:56, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
Gamefreak actually said they were reusing older models for Sword and Shield, and all they were doing was touching them up. We should probably mention that
"The starters are: Grookey, the grass-type starter, which is a simian Pokémon; Scorbunny, the fire-type starter, which is a rabbit; and Sobble, the water-type starter, which is a chameleon." the user wrote that Grookey is classified as a simian Pokémon, but Scorbunny and Sobble are classified as basic animals like "rabbit" and "chameleon". This should be changed to say something along the lines of "Scorbunny, the fire-type starter, which is a rabbit Pokémon;" and "Sobble, the water-type starter, which is a chameleon Pokémon." — Preceding unsigned comment added by FutureWigs ( talk • contribs) 16:51, 10 June 2019 (UTC)
a simian pokémon which when it is fully evolves it has been inspired by drummers(british rick bands played a mild part in the game),a rabbit which when evolves resembles your common soccer player(pokémon inspired by british people’s love for soccer), and the lizards final evolution was inspired by James Bond(or that’s what i like to think.

Should a few sentences on the tree controversy be added to the pre-release section? it seems like it is important enough to be added. Serperior 1245, a Star Wars nerd 00:13, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
huh? Me6481 ( talk) 06:14, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
Here we can figure out a way to add the expansion pack into this article. Me6481 ( talk) 06:17, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
Fro this generation of pokémon we have yet to see pokémon trading cards.Here you can place ideas about them! Me6481 ( talk) 06:16, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
i have added that the pictures are of the legendary's with the rusted sword and shield. they only look like they do in those pictures with them. my fact keeps getting taken off the article and I would like it to stop! it is a real fact and I do not like that is has been taken off over and over. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Me6481 ( talk • contribs) 00:25, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
I think the heading for the "Pre-release" section should be seperated from the rest of the Reception section and changed to "Controversy", because it's not even pre-release reception, it's basically the whole controversy surrounding the game, and even the second paragraph says it's a controversy. - Inkster2 ( talk) 06:03, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
you answer that here Me6481 ( talk) 05:12, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
I am asking this because it is an important part of the game. The region was inspired by britian and we could add mor inspired statements in this article if we work together to find out! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Me6481 ( talk • contribs) 00:27, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
Well, when using Earwig’s Copyvio Detector, I found that this page has very serious copyright violations as it plagiarized from a ton of soruces (Especially these two: http://jonatabrignol.com.br/docs/pok%C3%A9mon-sword-%26-shield-online-tournaments-42abce And https://affordablemarketing.co.nz/site/battle-ready-pok%C3%A9mon-sword-and-shield-724c04 which have been 87.0% and 84.3% copied.) as copying and pasting it is considered plagiarism and Wikipedia doesn’t allow that. I feel the article ether should be rewritten or removed. I Feel it could possibly not be I feel the article is well written.-- 2600:1004:B06E:19A7:F4F7:1732:5952:6E0D ( talk) 16:31, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
