The trailer had a lot of emphasis on cheering crowds and stadiums, and based on the map it looks like most of the gyms will be in stadiums, so I would be really surprised if there wasn't some tie-in to football/soccer.Ok here's a new one. I know I'm being silly, but wouldn't it be great if one of the challenges before a Gym or a minigame was related to football?
This is a very minor thing but something that would really make the game for me. Although I would miss gym puzzles, I'd really like the feeling of battling in front of a large crowd of spectators. No other Pokemon game has quite managed to capture feeling of battling on top of Realgam Tower.The trailer had a lot of emphasis on cheering crowds and stadiums, and based on the map it looks like most of the gyms will be in stadiums, so I would be really surprised if there wasn't some tie-in to football/soccer.Ok here's a new one.

I agree, I just can't choose right now since they're all so cute!all three starters are absolutely precious to me. I feel very very hesitant to pick a favorite right now because there are SO many possibilities with their evolutions and I could see them all evolving into something I love or really don't love. that said i am not creating any expectations.. am not big on speculation. they could really turn into anything and im content to just wait and see!
also the female protag is a super cutie too!!!!! and the region looks so cozy!! everything about this region is so aesthetically pleasing to me so far lol, even if im still a bit sick of 3D graphics.
My guess is that transferring Pokemon woild be done through Pokemon Bank like it was for gens 6 and 7. You wouldn't need to connect the consoles directly, just connect to the cloud and dump them into the new games.I'm not even sure about whether or not all Pokémon Generation VII video games Pokémon Sun, Moon, UltraSun and UltraMoon will be able to be transported to Generation VIII video games Pokémon Sword and Shield with using Pokémon Bank? This is because Nintendo Switch isn't actually backwards compatibility with any video games for all Nintendo's previous video game consoles, like Nintendo 3DS? But I didn't actually think so. Did you?

Not to mention, people are paying for subscriptions to it. Making a port to the Switch with an update for Gen 8 compatibility is almost a given.I'd be surprised if they didn't have Pokemon Bank in place for the Gen 8 games. Like, it's been in place for awhile now for the previous generations and people basically have all their Pokemon on it. GameFreak would made a lot of people angry if they didn't allow people to use it with the new games.
These people sound a bit too sure of themselves for these to be merely predictions. If this is all coming from someone who is working on the games, that's definitely not gonna fly with Nintendo.
