I would be more upset about this if it werent for the fact that its simply being replaced by a tournament system so that atleast would improve revisiting the endgame.

Make no mistake. I would not support a game featuring like a thousand Pokemon. In hindsight, the entire idea from inception was borne of idiocy. Game Freak thought they could expand the number of Pokemon FOREVER. Game development doesn't work that way. There surely must be many unshakable reasons why none of Pokemon's competitors keep every creature.
Nonetheless, Sword/Shield are removing Pokemon without care. Between the poor communication and lousy graphics it's making the developer look worse than they already do.

You should be blaming gamefreak, nintendo simply publishes and markets the games, they have virtually no hand in development.childhood ruined
gee thanks nintendo :[
also some of you are acting like this is gamefreak’s first time cutting corners. The fact they launch special editions of the same game every other year (yellow to r/b, crystal to g/s, emerald to r/s, etc) should tell you what youre getting into. (Not that the series is bad, i love pokemon, but realistically theres plenty of flaws to go around with this new gen. Or that we’ve seen. I still plan on playing it for myself next week, but i know what to expect therfor my expectations are set appropriately.)

What is that? We've seen the battles have actual background, why is it just a void in those pics?
But guys a preview is only a preview it doesn't mean the final game will look like th...oh.
If this is true, it's gonna be a disaster and Game Freak knows it. I'm really surprised Nintendo and the Pokemon company are gonna allow this to be released as is and let Game Freak soil their image like this.

Ok just saw the edits.
This is inexcusable in my opinion. Feels like they either really cheaped out or rushed it, they know they're gonna get crapped on for this so they keep people in the dark. Game Freak has also been kind of bad but honestly this is reaching new lows that I thought not possible for a company that works with Nintendo.

Team whatever has no background while fighting them I believe. I'm not sure if there are others but at times the backgrounds don't fit the place you are standing on. Also you can't catch higher leveled pokemon without your license...or gym badge despite your own level.

Gamefreak need a kick up the ass.
But let's be honest, so long as it prints money, Nintendo will let them continue to coast it.
I'll hold out for the "Broadsword" and "Greatshield" style re-release in 18 months which fixes half this shit, and hopefully has cloud saves and a more complete Pokédex.

I watched a couple of hours of the streamer with the leaked copy and sometimes there's proper background environments for battles and sometimes there's not.
Honestly I'm glad the game is getting leaked to show what an absolute mess the game is. It looks like a middling 6.5-7.0 game at best.Gamefreak always got a pass on the misgivings of Pokemon having severe gameplay flaws at times because the core feature of having hundreds of pokemon and being able to transfer them was a really cool feature that no one else really does. Now that it doesn't have that crutch to fall back on anymore people aren't giving them a pass this time.
Couple that with their first mainline entry for the Switch looking significantly worse than other Switch titles and it's a recipe for disaster.

One could argue that sun and moon also had a fair share of issues (like the lack of gyms and the long-ass tutorial) but ultimately it sold and reviewed well as a pokemon game. I think there will be people absolutely livid about these flaws (which there are, this thread and just about any pokemon thread on Gaf proves that) but people as whole will likely look over these flaws and find the game at the very least “not the best entries but still decent.”I watched a couple of hours of the streamer with the leaked copy and sometimes there's proper background environments for battles and sometimes there's not.

i find myself on the part of the spectrum where im sure me and my friends will like it but i seriously doubt it’ll have invike the same feelings that gen 1-5 did.

Not everything needs to be static. I completely understand people angry because of the underwhelming graphics, the inability to disable Exp. Share, being unable to catch overleveled pokemon, the amount of culled Pokemon, the lack of combat backgrounds (something LGP/LGE already did and did well) and a plethora of other things - but changing how the Pokemon League works in different regions seems reasonable as long as the alternative is interesting.
I did not enjoy the Kahunas-Captains system in SM, but having an anime-style tournament doesn't sound bad.

List of moveset removed from the game:
pastebin.com
Sword/Shield Snapped moves - Pastebin.com
Pastebin.com is the number one paste tool since 2002. Pastebin is a website where you can store text online for a set period of time.

Isn't the Machop line in this game? Isn't Karate Chop one of its signature moves? Yet it's removed anyways... tf?
People need to understand
Cut moves and cut Pokémon had to be done so gamefreak can have incredible graphics for this franchise. Oh wait!
Well they can focus on a ton of post game content. Oh wait!
Well atleast the game isn't more expensive than the 3DS games. Oh wait!
So cut Pokémon, cut moves, graphics not improved by much, more expensive, cut routes with only addition of wild area, same crap animations. Well who cares gamefreak will sell a ton of copies regardless so it's a great business decision.

I dont want to watch too much because I want to go into the game fresh. I already have spoiled the dex. But I like most of what ive seen besides the battle background fiasco. But man the Resetera nerds are angry

Most of them have something wrong with their brains. Same crap with no arguments everyday. I have to count how many times that guy with Eevee avatar(this one even requested a limited self-ban because he is a snowflake who can't even discuss and goes reporting everyone), Serebii and the one with a Mario Tyranossaurus avatar spits shit from their mouths with nothing to back up.
Serebii was a notable one for calling people retard in Resetera and twitter because he disagrees with them.

Leak was wrong, or incomplete. Bulbasar and Squirtle are in, among others.

^ We don't know if those are even obtainable in game yet though. Could be seasonal event rewards or post game rewards. I believe the dataminers said that only the sprites were in the game. (could be wrong)
Turns out the GTS is gone tho...

I saw about 2 streams so far. But none of them survive much...they only get to the 2 gym I think.
But you didn't lose much. Those streamers were terrible players, even though they didn't have problem playing the game at all. The game is looking stupidly easy.

Does anyone already have information how many of the pokemon are obtainable within the Sword/Shielf games themselves?
Without transfers, trading, amiibos or special events (e.g. visiting RL pokecenters or whatever)?
To me the variety of Pokemon catchable within a single game is more important than some theoretical upper limit which could achieved by jumping through bunch of hoops (ie. transfering from old games and old systems spanning multiple generations).
I understand that it's an important feature for hard-core fans, but for somebody who buys a pokemon game every couple generations for that nostalgia hit, the amount of variety I can get within that single game is much more important.
