[Sword & Shield] What old Pokemon would you like to return?

[Charlie Brown]

We've seen many old Pokemon showcased in the first trailer, which means we should be getting a larger regional dex with previous gen Pokemon again!

What previous gen Pokemon would you like to see featured in the Galar regional dex?

 

[Hiroshi Sotomura]

Personally, I was hoping "none", but that gets disproven within the first few seconds of the trailer. :(

 

[hotsushi-kun]

Its possibly from Canada, depend on how characters are dressed and look liked.

 

[PageEmp]

I remember every old mon shown in the XY trailer ended up in the final game so it seems most likely everyone shown there would end up in the final product of this game too.

 

[Yue Han]

I saw lots of snow. Give me ALL the Ice types.

 

[Fletchling]

A lot of man made Pokémon to go with the industry themes we keep seeing. Klink line for sure

There was a Fletchling vane so we riot if he isn't there

 

[the Alolan naturalist]

A lot of man made Pokémon to go with the industry themes we keep seeing. Klink line for sure

There was a Fletchling vane so we riot if he isn't there

Agreed there should be klink, trubbish, magnemite, pawniard...
But if they aren't gonna be putting honedge in there, they can go ahead and cancel the whole thing

What old Pokemon would you Like to see return?

So far, it seems Grubbin, Micinno and Pikachu will be in Pokemon Sword & Shield, but what other Pokemon would you like to see return? I'd honestly like to see more Pokemon from gens 3-7 return; less Gen 1 Pokemon outside the obvious staples (Pikachu, Clefairy maybe Jigglypuff and Eevee).

 

[CodeHelmet]

Eevee has to make a return because we're due for a new Eevolution ^_^ As for Pikachu returning means our Anime Protagonist is likely heading to that new region or a new Protagonist starts out with a Pikachu. I'd like to see Dog Pokemon like Houndour, Stoutland and Furfrou seeing as Dogs are rather big in UK. Hmm Dogs + Eevee(Fox Pokemon)... Release the HOUNDS!!!

 

[Janp]

I think I've seen Hoothoot, Wishiwashi and Lucario in the trailer. Ultimately I hope there will be every Pokémon available, unlike in Alola games.

 

[Fletchling]

I wonder if we'll see much in the way of Sinnoh representation in this gen...

 

[Sabrewulf238]

I'm hoping we see some Pokemon that haven't been in a regional dex in a while. I'm mainly looking at X/Y, Sun/Moon and Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon for this. (not counting friend safari or QR pokemon)

Yamask/Cofugrigus
Cherubi/Cherrim
Maractus (and maybe give it a new cross gen evolution, not a mega)
Darumaka/Darmanitan
Frillish/Jellicent
Bouffalant
Koffing/Weezing

X & Y were still kind of recent so I'm not as pushed about those Pokemon reappearing. (though I still hope we get some 6th gen Pokemon that didn't appear in Alola, we've already got a good start with Espurr/Meowstic)

Edit: Just had another thought. I'd like to see Sawsbuck make an appearance. (and have an alternate way to change their form since seasons probably aren't coming back)

 

[Big Bear Lake]

I feel like Pawniard and Bisharp would fit in very well in Galar! I'd also like to see the Haxorus line return. Axew especially would be a nice tie-in for a theme of medieval weaponry.

 

[alisaie]

Thankfully there isn't a Pokemon that I extremely want from another region in this one (good thing too bc one of the most disappointing things about Alola for me was lack of the Oddish line. Bellossom not in hawaii why......) That said though Dog Pokemon I definitely want to see within the region and any sword/shield Pokemon as per the title names. So Bisharp, Gallade (so the Ralts family), Honedge (!!!!!), etc.

 

[PainterZane]

does anyone know how pokemon bank will work?

And these games are more expensive for switch, so do you think there will be a lot of exclusives.

 

[lilaë21]

I'd like to have many Gen II, III, and V mons more than the other ones; even though I like gen IV ones, if DPP are going to be remade this gen most likely there will be a very small number of Sinnoh Pokémon in SwSh (the Lucario line will be in as confirmed by the trailer and so will Munchlax, though my hopes for them are the Lumineon and Drapion lines). Due to the snowy areas I think we could end up with a good amount of ice types - and I really hope we'll get the Spheal line. Also Snover would fit too well for its line to not be in.

 

[Meadow]

Please let Fletchling return!! ^^ I need to see my precious birb again ok :(

 

[PainterZane]

Eevee needs to be there for more eeveelutions.

Honedge and evolutions..obvious reasons

Luxray due to some cool royal family crests I see in my head.

aron, ryhorn, larvitar, ponyta, mudbray... due to evolutions being used in knight army of pokemon war

 

[Aleimon Thimble]

I would like a lot of Gen 6/7 Pokemon to return. Even though I didn't like the games, I did like most of the Pokemon (except for the Ultra Beasts) and they deserve a second chance in a game that's actually decent. Of course, that's assuming that this game is actually decent, which may be a stretch...

 

[Adam Levine]

Grubbin line's been confirmed so I'm happy

But Chansey line pls so we can grind easily
