#or 2) mythological creature route and you have to give them a badass design

going to get crucified for admitting I actually don’t like most portrayals of dragons in fantasy

My hopes and predictions for Pokemon Sword and Shield:

Bare in mind I haven't seen any footage of the gameplay from E3 that people were allowed to take, so I'm not sure if any of this was confirmed yet.

Grass/Fighting or Grass/Dark final evo Grookey. Fire/Ground or Fire/Fighting for Scorbunny, and Water/Dragon or pure Water for Sobble

Pokemon following you around like in Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee

Both random encounters and spottable wild encounters

Probably a given at this point but I'll say it anyways: character customization. Lets get some super cute outfits and haircuts this time, gamefreak. You did pretty good in Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon. The male options could use more work than the female this time around. Actually could we scrap the exclusiveness of the designs and let people wear what they want regardless what gender they're "meant for"? If ACNL can do it, so can Pokemon

Speaking of customization, can we dress up our pokemon like in Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee? Or at least the first member of our party.

Fix the EXP share. At least make it a choosable option whether we want it to effect the whole team or just one party member. It's not as great when it's an all or nothing kind of thing

Great post-maingame content. Stuff that'll have players busy for a long time. Like what we had to do in ORAS, but, yknow, better and longer. I want something to do after knocking the "undefeated" champion off his throne. What's the point of being champion if you don't get to go around doing good amd helping out, after all?

I wonder if we'll get a pokemon contest thing again. Ngl I kinda liked that but I know it's not everyone's cup of tea

Possible evil team names: Team Knight or Team Plauge. They'll either have a kind of chess aesthetic and have a snobby attitude to them or they'll be a fucking soccer team and just as goofy as Team Skull. Or or- if there is a chess theme maybe there'll be 2 evil organizations??

Ok so. I know we didn't get the queen as the champion so allow me to propose: the queen as the leader of the game's evil organization

Really really really want wooloo to either evolve into something equally as cute, or have it become a black wolf/werewolf type creature wearing a white wool cape/shawl. So it'll be a "wolf in sheep's clothing". That'd be awesome. Make it change to dark type upon evolution

There's gonna be a Big Ben pokemon, there's gotta be. Maybe a gargoyle too. Not talking about Impidimp, that's different. Actually maybe have Impidimp evolve into a badass looking gargoyle

Wouldn't it be cool if there was a Peter Pan-like pokemon?

New evolutions/pre-evolutions maybe? Especially pre-evolutions for pokemon like Miltank and Lapras given where the location the reigon is based off of

Give me a beluga whale pokemon Gamefreak I'm begging you. Or a right whale. Or a humpback. Or an orca that isn't a legondary. What I'm saying is give me a good whale pokemon that's possibly water/ice.

Maybe a polecat too that'd be cute. Can we get a scottish wildcat while we're at it? Oh! And Coatis!!

Perhaps a Curlew for the Route 1 bird?

Give us a pigeon. One that stays a pigeon even as it evolves. Pidove us not a pigeon you guys its a dove

Puffin pokemon!! I think it'd be best as a single stage pokemon. Make it ice/flying, that'd be neat. When I say puffin though, I actually mean a puffin. Like how Toucannon is basically just a toucan in design.

There's bound to be some new dragon type pokemon based purely off the European style dragons cmon that's a given. Bet it'll be the pseudo-legondary.

I'm thinking there'll probably be a teacup pokemon, and then it'll evolve into a teapot. It'd be cool if it were Fire/Water, but then again Steel/Water would be good too

A shield pokemon to go with the Honedge line. Look, I know one of the evolutions holds a shield but that's not the same

I was doing some research for this post and discovered mythological creatures called Faerie Dogs from the British Isles. please I'd frickin love that. It might make a good mythical pokemon

I'm out of ideas. Feel free to add to this post!!!
