Pokémon Master Sword and Hylian Shield - Which box legendary is best? (LEAK-FREE ZONE FROM PAGE 7 ONWARDS)

There's already double edge, though.

I'd call it Second Amendment.

Call it "clonk"

Ah, so there is.

And I've just realised the meaning behind that move's name after 20 years from when I first played Pokémon.

You could call it "ur holdin it back to front mate"

That's all I got

All winners, but...

...this is the obvious best choice.

I'm picking Sobble. The sad blobfish boy. I think my girlfriend is getting the fire starter. Grookey is the best name hands down though.

With that I'm going to avoid everything snords and schnields until launch. I want to go into this as blind as batfink would be without his super sonic sonar radar.

Japanese fans are being asked to name a move:

Type: Steel
Category: Special
Damage: 140
Effect: Does major damage but reduces user's Hit Points by 50%

Suggestions?  Personally if it's not called 'Steel Yourself' I'll be gutted.

That sounds like a hurricanrana off the top rope onto a steel chair to me!

Surely that'd be a physical move? I'm now a little sad Incineroar didn't get any chair-featuring moves.

It's a big move for the big shows, so it's special

I just wish I wasn't arse with incineroar. It's fun seeing him strut about though, and id never say no to chairs

There's been a competition to put a t-shirt into PS&S. Normally that wouldn't be a big deal, but...



...does the art style remind you of anything?

That's pretty neat, wouldn't mind that being an actual T-shirt.

That has been available to buy in China for awhile now if things are to be believed

The competition was in association with uniqlo so I think they are all real shirts.

Well it's now been disqualified and taken out of the game.

Pokémon Direct imminent! I'm surprised we're getting this so close to E3... it makes me wonder what Nintendo are planning to spotlight during their E3 Direct.

Nintendo don't often highlight Pokemon content in their main Directs. I think the brand is big enough that it can get a whole audience of its own. I think this will be my cut-off point for looking at Pokemon SS stuff. After this Direct, I'll be on spoiler avoidance until release.

Think from memory that Nintendo usually shy away from Pokemon during E3 to focus more on whats coming up, like mario maker etc and have their own direct before or after the event

I can't wait to have the entire game spoiled by official trailers and the entirety of the Internet sharing them.

I hope that The Pokémon Company announce the Pokémon "Bulbasaur", and the ""Charmander"" Pokémon.

Cappa don't be one of those people who goes into these things with unreasonable expectations and then gets upset when they aren't met.

A big massive one of them has just opened in Manchester, think I'll have to mosey on in there now.

Fuck me this looks good. I don't need any other games. Nintendo can do a Sony and take E3 off, quite frankly.

This direct and Death Stranding sort of show don't need E3 anyway but still going to be excited for the week as I'm off.

I'm going to do some Direct thoughts so don't read on if you don't want to see them I suppose!











First off: this looks very attractive indeed (apart from the trees which are N64 level).  The new Pokémon look a bit meh apart from CROW OF DOOM... which is also a taxi , but I'm very much up for the region in general.

I am in particular very much up for what looks like a BotW-style catching area.  I'm a bit sad that it's not the only place you can catch Pokémon, in fact, linking all the other towns.  I don't want random battles, I want this!  Apart from the multiplayer aspect.  Stop trying to make me play your social series with friends Game Freak.

Giant Pokémon is a decent enough idea for a battle gimmick, but on top of Z-Moves and Megas it remains altogether too much.  

Game Freak have no idea what British sports stadia look like because that ain't it.  Also: anyone else see that Milo is Mido from OoT, but large?

Your rival looks dogshit.  Again.
