    I hereby predict that within the next hour or two Nessa will be getting the same treatment from the internet that Sonia has been getting. :p

    You can only transfer Pokémon that appear in the Galar region to Sword/Shield. SHEEEESHHH. So much awesomeness and then they do this.

    And Impidimp.

    Yamper is probably one of the Pokémon described in a past leak.

    It is, an electric Corgi that will pop up to scare away your flock of Wooloo that you herd for the Grass Gym Entry Trial.


    Btw Yamper has the ability Ball Fetch, it retrieves the first failed Poke Ball and puts it back into your inventory.

    (After hearing the bad news)

    Chad: I hope to Giratina there’s a patch for Pokémon Home where you can transfer every Pokémon or else no Galar.

    They wouldn't have made a direct statement that only pokemon in the Galar dex can be sent over if that's true.

    Honestly we have no idea what the max amount in game is yet, could be anywhere from 400 to 600 pokemon.

    I only hope Smeargle is in it, that's my go to traveling pokemon.

    Yes. Even the wording during Treehouse live was kind of awkward (although that might’ve been an error in translation): first they say Sw/Sh is big and powerful on the Switch or something, only to immediately say you can’t transfer (maybe they meant to say it takes too much data instead of being powerful? Dunno, don’t have the video on atm).

    I can understand they didn’t do it for Let’s Go, but this is a bummer. If a 3DS title can do it the Switch can definitely do it. Why have I been paying for Bank to keep transferring my Mons and maintain a ‘living’ Pokedex?....argh.


    Really looking forward to what looks like a great game, but this is a giant disappointment. Still, I’m sure at least the Galar dex will have a LOT of mons this time around...


    Yamper was in one of the leaks, making that one even more solid. Which means there will be
    Gigantamaxing!

    I feel its in part of not overwhelming players evolving from Go and Let's Go, as well as to just not have that problem of certain pokemon not having dex entries like SM/USUS.

    Is this the way to go about it, no, but I can see reasons as to why it is.

    I'm betting this transfer issue/restriction will be a "at launch" or "for a few weeks" or maybe at the absolute worst "until the third version" type of thing. One could argue that Gamefreak has done dumb, even very dumb, things in the past, but I have a hard time believing they would permanently bar people from doing something the series has been built around: catching them all.

    Also, wasn't there a number of mistranslations/misinformation going around when Let's Go was first announced/revealed? I wouldn't be surprised if this was an unfortunate repeat of that.

    I can't wait to watch Yamper dive into a flock of Wooloo! :D 

    Impidimp is a bit of an..... "interesting" design though.

    Something interesting and maybe a hint at Impidimp's evolution or habits or something.

    But a dimp is Mancunian (Manchester) slang for a cigarette butt/ short cigar/half-smoked cigarette

    Impidimp has a batwing coming out like a fin on the back of his head.

    Yamper's butt reminds me of poke beans.

    Ok, what the hell, how do you get Shini Tapu Fini? There's nothing in Mystery Gift and logging in to PGL didn't do anything. Was I supposed to receive an e-mail with a code or something, because I got diddly squat and now I'm pissed.

    Not a fan of the announcement only Pokemon in the Galar Pokedex can be transferred to the games...

    About time they had an ability that could do that.

    Yeah, they really need to make the page that gives the code easier to find. Log into PGL and go to this page.
