I’ve ordered it but I agree with the moneygrabbing

I don't think it's moneygrabbing at all, look at the Smash DLC for just a bit less and all you get is a few fighters and stages, look at the 3rd versions that add virtually nothing? I think to have extra Pokemon and areas, that actually expands the story of the game, is so much better and it costs less than the 3rd version would. With the 3rd versions, you have to trudge through the same story yet again with a few things changed. I so regretted Ultra Moon for that reason
 I suppose they shouldn't have taken them out in the first place, but I think getting extra content for the game we already played and extend the experience you can have with the Pokemon you loved through the story is so much better than demanding full price for a barely changed third version. |

Ye I don't think the price is too bad at all, especially as it's cheaper than a 3rd game would be and it's likely both DLCs will have a lot of extra content as opposed to re-doing the same content with just a few changes here and there.
I'm not sure how long they'll support the games with DLC, I'm hoping they'll bring out more DLC in 2021 before moving on to new games in 2022-2023 when the 9th generation should come out. |

Yeah I'm hoping they bring DLCs until all old Pokemon have been added into the game. I see a lot of people saying this should have been in the game but idk I'm fine with this as it adds some freshness into the game a while after you've finished it instead of just being part of the post game. Surely the post game could have done with a lil bit more content on its' own and then also having these DLCs - that would have been the best version of events IMO. |

Yeah I can see them doing that which I'm OK with to be honest, gives them more time for the next proper game but we don't go without in the meantime and it means SwSh can live on for longer as we get more and more content.

Pokemon Home is 15.99 a year, Bank was only 5.99 iirc
 I don't like how people now have to pay for GTS capabilities.

There's a rumour that Z-Moves return in Isle Of Armour and Megas in the Crown Tundra, I kinda hope that isn't true because I think the meta is much better for not having either of those (not so much Z-Moves, but Megas, I think the lack of both of those and Dynamaxing being something any Pokemon can do with a bit of strategy to it is better than a select few ending up broken). Saying that, Mega Mawile and Mega Altaria are two of my fave Pokemon so I do kinda want those

Omg I'm so excited, especially for being able to use all the new Pokemon online now that building competitive Pokemon is so easy! I just hope it doesn't change the meta too much, I'm worried about like Landorus and Garchomp as ik they are coming back, I use Morpeko a LOT and if there's gonna be two omnipresent Ground threats like that he could be harder to use
 And just to be able to have more of the adventure to play as well *.* |

17th June release, lots of Pokemon shown as coming back plus we saw Galarian Slowbro which is Psychic/Poison, it's got the shell on its arm rather than its tail with purple markings on its arm and tail so it looks like it's been poisoned or something by being bitten by the Shellder for too long. Love the typing! It has a new move called Side Arm Smash that deals wither special or physical damage based on which one will do more damage to the opponent, love that concept!
From the trailer we know these will be back: Shinx line Absol Tauros Scyther line Druddigon Whismur line Sandile line Tangela line Exeggecute line Poliwag line Kangaskhan Bouffalant Rockruff line Emolga Mienfoo line Fletchling line Skrelp line Really excited to use Tangrowth competitvely! Second half of the trailer was Crown Tundra stuff, with the following returning Pokemon: The Regis, including a new Electric Regi and a new Dragon Regi Absol Cyrogonal Swablu line !!!  They showed off legendary Dynamaxes so I think a lot of them will be obtainable like in USUM's wormhole thing Galar Articuno is Psychic/Flying, Galar Zapdos is Fighting/Flying and Galar Moltres is Dark/Flying, I like that they have a type triangle as with starters! Magmar, Kingdra, Aggron and Magnezone are shown in the championship too meaning they will come in one expansion pass or the other. |

Hidden ability starters are also out as a Pokemon Home gift and now Cinderace has the same hidden ability as Greninja where it changes its type before each move, so STAB on EVERYTHING
