Pokemon Sword And Shield: Every Pokemon In The Trailer

Gotta Catch At Least These Ones


Pokemon Sword and Shield have finally been revealed, and we now know what the eighth generation of Pokemon games will look like on Nintendo Switch. The reveal trailer showed the new Galar region, which appears to be inspired by England, the Gen 8 starters, your trainer, and a number of Pokemon.

You never know with a new Pokemon game what old Pokemon might make an appearance, so we've rounded up all the Pokemon from the trailer here. Many of the Pokemon are from more recent games, including Sun and Moon, while a few are older. Almost all of them were shown in battle.

It's worth noting that the trailer appears to show the return of Pokemon's traditional battle style in wild Pokemon encounters, as opposed to the Pokemon Go-inspired catching mechanics seen in Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee. We didn't see Pokemon in the overworld, like in Let's Go, or even following you around.

Pokemon Sword and Shield are releasing worldwide in late 2019. Be sure to see our story on the new Gen 8 starters for more details, and maybe tell us what you think these mysterious symbols are so we can all start theorizing.


Pikachu


Naturally, Pikachu is the first Pokemon we see in the Sword and Shield trailer. The female trainer is seen sneaking in the grass, leading to this wild encounter.


Minccino


Minccino is a normal-type Pokemon introduced in Gen 5.


Wishiwashi


First introduced in Sun and Moon (Gen 7), Wishiwashi is really weak alone but can transform into a much scarier fish. We see the male trainer catching Wishiwashi in the traditional style.


Grubbin


Another Sun and Moon Pokemon, Grubbin is a small bug who eventually becomes a bigger, electrified bug.


Hoothoot


Hoothoot is a Gen 2 throwback and a good owl.


Zweilous


It's a bit hard to see, but Zweilous is fighting Hoothoot in the trainer. It's a dark/dragon Pokemon and it's great.


Flygon and Braviary


Sorry, this is the best screenshot I could get. On the left is Gen 3 Pokemon Flygon, and it's fighting what I assume is Gen 5's Braviary.


Meowstic (Female) and Wailmer


Next up is a female Meowstic, a Gen 6 Pokemon with different male and female forms, battling a Wailmer, which was first introduced in Gen 3.


Lucario


We see Gen 4's Lucario battling in a large stadium.


Tyranitar


Up against Lucario is Gen 2's Tyranitar, who gets hit pretty bad.


Munchlax


At the end of the battle montage, we see Munchlax--a baby Pokemon from Gen 4 that evolves into Snorlax--standing with the female trainer in a living room.


Gen 8 Starter: Scorbunny


The first new Pokemon we meet is the fire-type rabbit Scorbunny.


Gen 8 Starter: Sobble


We're then introduced to the water-type lizard Sobble, who is shy and perfect.


Gen 8 Starter: Grookey


The final Pokemon shown in the reveal trailer is the grass-type monkey Grookey, who rounds out the three Gen 8 starter Pokemon.

Kenny Omega's AEW Dynamite Entrance Is A Love Letter To Undertale

It's no secret that professional wrestler and executive vice-president of All Elite Wrestling Kenny Omega loves video games. And on the October 30 episode of TNT's weekly wrestling show, AEW Dynamite, Omega showed off his love for Undertale . Before he entered the ring, his video package played a 16-bit cutscene that was very reminiscent of the game, featuring a yellow and red disembodied head, which is totally a knock at the New Japan Pro Wrestling's logo--a company Omega wrestled for--explaining Omega left all his friends and now, he's all alone. This includes a silhouette of Omega's former tag team partner, Kota Ibushi. You can check out the video for yourself below. The sound effects and dialogue from the end of that section are taken directly from Undertale. After the video package ended, Omega entered wearing a Sans mask, while Megalovania--the song from the game--played in the arena. Surprisingly, this worked incredibly well as entrance music for one of t...
