What's going on boys and girls what's up we're all the Austin John plays here and
today we're gonna be taking a look at pokemon sword and shield which is out in
about a month as far as new updates as far as the
pokemon that are going to be version exclusive your pre-order options the
different map that's been revealed for the wild area as well as a whole bunch
of other stuff let's hop into it last week the world was introduced to Glory
and pony toe which is somehow not a fairy type its psychic type I don't
understand but that's okay it's important to note that Golani ponyta is
exclusive to pokemon shield as opposed to surf fetched who's gonna be exclusive
to pokemon sword so if you have an affinity for either of these Gen 1
Pokemon returning in their brand new form then that may influence the version
of the game that you're gonna be buying it's important to note that we have no
idea if there is going to be a glory and for fetched and there's most likely a
glory and rapidash we don't know if they're going to have other evolutions
based off of that like if surfaced as a middle evolution or rapidash as a middle
evolution we don't know any of those details we also don't know if rapidash
turns into a full unicorn alicorn and becomes fairy type as well and if there
is no galore Ian's far-fetched that means that you'll be able to take your
competitive Farfetch'd from your previous games imported into here and
evolve into sir fetched maybe and you'd be good to go for that when it comes to
the other version exclusives pokemon sword gets access to Dino and Jango and
Pokemon shield gets access to larvae tar and goomy kind of and what I mean by
that is that has to do with which version of the game you preorder now if
you decide to get it from the Pokemon Center you get a plush keychain which is
pretty neat if you get the double pack from the Pokemon Center you get the
plush keychain and then also there's an inherit bonus that comes with the double
pack I'm going to review that in a second if you preorder the game at
Amazon you get access to a gold backpack sorry a gold studded leather case for
your trainer as a customization option which looks pretty dope I hope there's
gold armor in this game to go along with it
your pre-order at Gamestop you're going to get a double-sided wall banner that
goes between having the Box Legendary's and the actual map on there the map
looks kind of dope and as opposed to just being a regular poster like this
one from Gamestop it's shaped like a like a sports banner which is pretty
neat now if you decide to get the double pack you're going to get special codes
that you're going to be getting a larva tar and a Jiang MOA well you're not
getting them you're getting Dynomax crystals which means that you're gonna
be able to summon them on will and battle them in battle now we don't know
if Jiang mo and larva tar have Giganta max forms they might considering that
you know you're gonna get these as a pre-order bonus but what's unique is
you're gonna be able to redeem these in either game so if you get Pokemon sword
which does not have larva tar you can use the code for larva tart in Pokemon
sword therefore you don't have to you know trade for it and same thing goes
for Jiang mo in Pokemon shield not too relevant because you're going to own
both of the games I mean you can't trade with yourself if you only have one
switch and Pokemon home is it gonna be out for a couple of months I guess it
just makes it a little bit easier but I'm really excited to see if these two
are gonna be having Giganta max forms while we're talking about verging
exclusives there is also a version exclusive gems which we've covered
before and pokemon sword you're gonna fight bei and pokemon shield you're
gonna fight Alistar the gym is in the exact same location that ties into
something that Game Informer talked about recently how they said that the
game is going to have 18 gems kinda there are 18 gems in total spread
throughout two different games pokemon sword and pokemon shield so versioning
exclusives are unique gems and also there's the major and minor leagues
similar to the Japanese style j-1 and j2 like the minor-league and major-league
kind of concept so what I'm thinking and hear me out here is that there's going
to be four minor league gems and there's going to be eight major league gems just
like normal and there's going to be four of those gems that are version exclusive
so in the minor league you're gonna have say for example one version exclusive
Jim whether you fight you know psychic or dark and then in the major league
you're going to be having three verging exclusive gyms or maybe it's two and two
or there's a chance that it's going to be six in the minor league and eight in
the major league and there's one version exclusive in each we don't know those
exact numbers yet we know that there's 18 spread throughout the major league
minor league and the version exclusives speaking of pre-ordering if you decide
to purchase digitally you get 12 quick balls that's not great I mean it's it's
better than nothing but 12 quick balls does that really gonna help you but if
you're thinking about downloading the game digitally the actual game size has
been leaked if we look right here this is the game card if you want to I guess
buy the game digitally right here ten point three gigabytes that means that if
you are against physical copies and you want digital only and you want to be
able to install it onto your Nintendo switch you may need to delete some games
in order to have ten point three gigabytes available it might be slightly
higher than that for the actual installation process be warned and if
you want to install it to your SD card to make sure same rules apply ten point
three gigabytes it's always healthy to have a little bit more available now you
may be asking why is it ten point three gigabytes that's almost the size that
breadth of the wild was is this game going to be as big as breath of the wild
absolutely not you should not be deceived or under any
influence that this game is going to be near the size of Legend of Zelda breath
of the wild Legend of Zelda breath of the wild is a very very large world but
they cleverly use the same assets and just move them in different areas with
different textures like the hills and the valleys and the snow area and
everything in the desert area let's just look at the enemies for example in
breath of the wild there's bow cabins mob lends lizalfos and keys I think
that's pretty much the end of the the not mini-boss or or unique enemies even
though it's just them it's just the same model they just
we use different textures for when it changes different colors and difficulty
so all that is just one model with four different textures and that covers four
different classes of the same enemy as opposed to Pokemon which is gonna have
hundreds of Pokemon that have their own unique forms color schemes Road Amma has
a few different forms so each of those is their own custom texture and model so
there's a lot of that data that's all stored in there and while you compare
this to older games like Sun and Moon ultrasone altra Moon X or Y horas it's
more than double even the largest game which was pokemon ultra Sun and Moon
which is about 4 gigabytes and that has a lot to do with the textures of this
game everything is gonna be at 1080p so the textures are gonna be a 1080p
instead of how they were on the 3d s when they were displaying it 200 220 240
P whatever that number was it was garbage so bottom line is this game is
going to be one beefy boy clear up ten point three gigabytes if you're going to
be downloading it digitally from Australia the day before release like I
am that brings me to one of my final talking points is that Coral coral
magazines cover for their guide for Pokemon sword and shield has leaked and
just like lots of guides they both said there's a map and the the very small
part of your screen at right now is the map we went ahead and I threw this into
Photoshop and here's the full glorion map and what i did is i decided to leave
this area over what we've seen in the full map so if we hide that we can see
this is the outline of this giant wall with the big dragon face right there
going all the way down past the red town to the large water structure over here
to the left of the mountains boom same exact area now particularly what all
these little dots are we're not really too sure at this point I haven't been
able to find any concrete information on this
I've had some sources say that they are dynamaxx spawn locations and I've had
some people theorize that they're just references of wild Pokemon that appear
in the area if I were to go into sharpening and sharpen a whole bunch
that gives me a better contrast so you can actually see
oh that was too far zoomed in where all these icons are and right here we can
see that this is an icon with what looks to be aligned straight up going to the
keys over here I do want to note what pokemon has been doing in the recent
generations with spawn locations and Pokemon Sun and Moon ultra Sun ultra
moon route one had lots of pieces of grass and what was unique as each piece
of grass had its own unique spawn table so instead of think of Gen 1 how all of
route 1 had the same chance to find the same Pokemon in the more recent games
there are some Pokemon that only appear in certain areas of a route or some
Pokemon are more predominant in certain areas even going back to Pokemon X&Y
when lebay Bay I always say that name wrong
only spawned inside of the flower patches that got expanded more upon in
Sun and Moon to the point that each patch of grass is unique and if you've
ever played the game with a randomizer you would know that each of those
patches of grass has completely different Pokemon that means that what
they can program is every single little zone gate fencing of location that they
want can spawn different Pokemon and this is important because it looks like
the wild area is just one area it's not going to be two separate areas although
it does look like there's something that prevents you from progressing half way
so maybe here's like the beginner wild area and then once you clear a certain
amount of the game you get access to this wild area we're not 100% sure right
now or you might get access to the whole thing if these are in fact Dynomax spawn
locations I would say that these are Pokemon that have a chance to spawn at
those max raid battles know what I mean we won't know exactly what this map is
and what these keys are on the outside until we either get better leaks of the
inside of it but this has been leaked about a month out from the game and this
is only gonna release after the game releases so we're not too sure exactly
what all of this is but it is nice to see that the wild area is one
large expansive area and there's a lot going on here like if these are all
different Pokemon that could spawn inside of the wild area you're gonna be
able to explore here for a long time and I like that all right guys well that's
gonna be wrapping up all the Pokemon updates that we have for today October
