Article: Easily missed details from the Pokémon Sword and Shield Direct

Let us know of anything else we ought to include!

I want chipmunk Pokemon details. :<

I think the dragon in the tower is just part of the tower. Maybe based on a new Pokémon.

But anyway, so many cool details!

Agreed, and furthermore, I think it looks like Charizard. 🤔

Are they the logos of various sponsors [Leon] has earnt? Maybe that means he's rich, too.

Yeah, it does seem more like a building structure, but placing what it looks like is harder...

Haha, hats can be darn expensive in Pokemon games, so this seems valid.

I was discussing with a friend last night about how cool it was to essentially bike on water. @__@

It does make me wonder how HMs are going to be handled this time around.

That mysterious dragon-like statue does look a bit like Charizard's head on a chess piece or something! Interesting.

Am especially excited about the possibilities of my cute little chipmunk. \o/

The serebii site introduces a purpley squirrel pokemon seen in the crowd.. Pachirisu has a friend, now...

Also.. pokemon in the crowd kept repeating ...munchlax, riolu, pikachu, eevee, vulpix... i wonder if there is a significance with them?

I am hoping for eeveelution

besides that.. did you see the stylish leather jacket with metal studs on the one girl player? it looks like some cool outfit choices are coming.

Wow, when I made that post I completely forgot that I basically spent all my money in XY on fashion.

An all-out battle has just ended, with Leon as the victor--it should come as no surprise, considering he has never lost an official battle. The stadium crowd is pumped, the energy palpable as their screams threaten to lift the roof right off the building. Cameramen and reporters rush, hoping to get to his side before he is engulfed by a tidal wave of fans.

"Leon, Champion Leon! That was an amazing battle!" One manages to reach him before the rest. "Do you have anything to say?" She points the microphone in his direction as everyone eagerly awaits his response.

Leon chuckles. "It was a fantastic fight, alright! And speaking of fantastic, this battle was sponsored by Audible! Audible is a--

Wooloo rolling is the best part. This is a great article, man!

I noticed that Rotom seem to appear in various colors. MC's phone is red, but Hop's is blue. Plus there's the yellow Drone Rotom in the stadium.

Also, is that potentially the DynamaX "X" on the male MC's Poké Ball symbol on his red shirt? What about Velcian's shoulder? And stretching a little, Leon's boots? Hm…
