Pokemon Sword & Shield: Not A Metaphor For Brexit 

I was questioning if it actually was because of the time limit. Needless to say, I wasn't disappointed.

There is a Prime-Minister-like clown Pokemon, though

@@pennyfarting it kinda resembles ur pfp

Mr. Mime for Prime Minister!

Dont you dare touch my precious wooloo!

Just the tail for slowpoke tho

@@Rahat2056 not in the game, not possible ;(

@@isaacerickson2383 one can only imagine... 😭

I didn't know he made a DS spoilers video!! I'm beyond psyched thank you kind sir!!

I'm glad I'm not the only person who felt exactly this way.

i’m getting close to being able to crack that one open

Nuuuuuuuuu poor wooloo!!! 😭😭

He's one of the few people working as a games journalist that I believe would be hugely successful starting his own channel. Though, I don't mind that he works for Kotaku. They have quite a number of really talented people (Gita Jackson and Heather Alexandra) and the only hard-hitting games journalist in the business (Jason Schreier). I would be challenged to come up with a better list of journalists anywhere else. And no, I'm not a schill. I'm just genuinely impressed with Kotaku when looking at the competition.

HEXXEN WOLF he has another personal channel

@@paintfatpurple7394 yes but that's mostly vlogs and I am sorry but Tim was not made for vlogs although we do get approximately 100% more sexy sun spectacles.

I have good news from the future.

Samurai Flex i had a great tim reading this comment.

@Unqiue Keys Yes, of course that was a joke mate. How would it be interpreted any other way?

Most of them evolve into ghost types.

A human type Pokemon's weakness is the internet

Nurse Joy, Officer Jenny

Jynx's species is "Human-shape Pokemon"

TIM ROGERS HAS FINALLY DONE IT

Reviewloo.

man at least you can vote your clown out of office whenever they do something really stupid, our clown gets to stick around for 4 years unless they somehow manage to piss off congress.

Less pokemon, tons of bugs and loading issues, data corruption, lack of features that were in previous games, boring story, boring characters, reused animations, evidence that Game Freak lied, no aftergame, less content than Ultra Sun and Moon, and cost way too much. Need I say more?

@@notch6801 First off, it's "fewer Pokemon," not "less Pokemon." Second, the Pokedex cuts don't affect anything until postgame, as access to the national dex only unlocks in postgame (this is true for all of the mainline Pokemon games up to this point). Cutting Pokemon was an inevitability, as with 1000+ Pokemon, 250+ abilities, and almost 800 moves, it is absolutely IMPOSSIBLE to balance the game. Some gamebreaking combo or other would certainly arise and destroy the competitive scene. As for bugs and loading issues, this hasn't been a complaint raised by any of the professional reviewers I've read/watched - including the Kotaku review and preview, the IGN review, the Gameinformer review, and the Gamespot review. I'm certain that if a game was actually filled with technical issues, the 5 professional reviewers I just listed, each of whom spent around 40 hours on the game, would have noticed them. Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, on the other hand, had significantly more bugs than a normal Pokemon game (due to development being handed off to less experienced devs), and yet there was no controversy over them. As for data corruption, www.polygon.com/pokemon/2019/11/15/20966487/pokemon-sword-shield-save-file-corruption-nintendo-switch-exfat-sd-card Note the “It’s more of an operating system failure than a game failure," as well as the note that formatting your SD card as FAT32 (which is already what most SD cards are formatted as) solves the issue. As for lack of pre-established features, that is factually incorrect. Sword and Shield added a ton of quality-of-life improvements, and only removed the ability to turn off the EXP Share (which, if people on the internet were actually civil for once, would've been a quick fix via a patch. Instead, we have riots). The story has never really been something people play Pokemon for, with the sole exception of Black/White. Heartgold/Soulsilver are universally held to be amazing Pokemon games, but the story is bog-standard. Reused animations is the one point on which I will agree with you. However, while some of the move animations in a battle are pretty mediocre (double-kick, for example), there animations for the more epic moves look pretty awesome this generation. "Evidence that Gamefreak lied" is, once again, not correct. Gamefreak cited 3D models as one of the reasons for not including the whole dex, but some interviews showed them being most concerned about balancing (as I mentioned earlier). The vast majority of Pokemon models were not ported over from Sun/Moon, contrary to popular belief. Only some were. They never said they'd rebuild all the models. "No postgame" is the most blatant lie in your original post. There, quite literally, is a postgame. I don't know how else I can refute your point here. "Less content than US/UM" is also incorrect, with US/UM sitting at an average of 34 hours on howlongtobeat.com, while reviewers of Sword and Shield spent around 40 hours (it should be noted that reviewers are often on a tight schedule and have to rush their playthroughs). Costing more than previous games is a reality of a handheld series making it over to console. When Link to the Past was released on Switch for $60, people were fine with it. When Smash 4 was released simultaneously on 3DS and WiiU, it was $20 more on WiiU, despite having almost the same content. And yet people were fine with it. It's simply unreasonable to expect a console game to be any less than $60 at launch, especially on a Nintendo console. As such, I have disproven every single one of your points. You really do need to say more.

that's true, though nimrod *is* a me-ism . . . lol

You almost definitely weren't allowed to show the Milcery that was clearly visible in like every other shot in this video.

yeah though like you get it right in the grass outside the first town lol

This is just a guess, but is the evolved pokemon Dreadnaw? It would be odd for a single-stage or unevolved pokemon to have a gigantamax form. Also was that an unevolved corviknight?

@@vbarreiro I'm guessing it's either Coriknight's starting evolution, because it's this games Pidgy or it's...no wait it'll just be Corviknight's unevolved form, I was gonna say it was Far'fetched mid evo form but he'd be able to show Far'Fetched and I'm guessing you won't be able to just get it's second evo form until much later.

i believe the explanation happens in the first minute or so . . . and there MIGHT be a 30-minute video coming, once the embargo lifts . . . if i SURVIVE until then

Jacob Shapiro i’ve been writing for kotaku for literally 14 years lmao also i’ve got a playlist with like 200 videos on it, so get watchin!!!

i'm not an american . . . i'm just a guy

I got excited when Tim mentioned he went to Birmingham and it's 'curry mile' - i was born 16 miles away from Birmingham!

Kotaku I haven’t the slightest clue what Newcastle is.

Think you might be talking about Pokémon Black and Pokémon White

Paul Thorn They had that already. That was called Pokémon Black Version and White Version.

@@bourbonbobo Good to know! Never played that one.

@@paulthorn6437 you you never played the best pokemon games black and black 2?

There's that PETA flash game that came out probably over a decade ago

yeah, trust me. i think if i'd'a clipped stuff FROM the trailers and used it, it woulda been fine. i think they just didn't want me poking (!) around too much.

@@kotaku makes sense. In just a few days we'll see it all anyways and then I'm sure more videos will come lol
