What's going on boys and girls what's up
we're all the Austin John plays here and
today we're gonna be taking a look at
pokemon sword and shield which is out in
about a month
as far as new updates as far as the
pokemon that are going to be version
exclusive your pre-order options the
different map that's been revealed for
the wild area as well as a whole bunch
of other stuff let's hop into it last
week the world was introduced to Glory
and pony toe which is somehow not a
fairy type its psychic type I don't
understand but that's okay it's
important to note that Golani ponyta is
exclusive to pokemon shield as opposed
to surf fetched who's gonna be exclusive
to pokemon sword so if you have an
affinity for either of these Gen 1
Pokemon returning in their brand new
form then that may influence the version
of the game that you're gonna be buying
it's important to note that we have no
idea if there is going to be a glory and
for fetched and there's most likely a
glory and rapidash we don't know if
they're going to have other evolutions
based off of that like if surfaced as a
middle evolution or rapidash as a middle
evolution we don't know any of those
details we also don't know if rapidash
turns into a full unicorn alicorn and
becomes fairy type as well and if there
is no galore Ian's far-fetched that
means that you'll be able to take your
competitive Farfetch'd from your
previous games imported into here and
evolve into sir fetched maybe and you'd
be good to go for that when it comes to
the other version exclusives pokemon
sword gets access to Dino and Jango and
Pokemon shield gets access to larvae tar
and goomy kind of and what I mean by
that is that has to do with which
version of the game you preorder now if
you decide to get it from the Pokemon
Center you get a plush keychain which is
pretty neat if you get the double pack
from the Pokemon Center you get the
plush keychain and then also there's an
inherit bonus that comes with the double
pack I'm going to review that in a
second if you preorder the game at
Amazon you get access to a gold backpack
sorry a gold studded leather case for
your trainer as a customization option
which looks pretty dope I hope there's
gold armor in this game to go along with
it
your pre-order at Gamestop you're going
to get a double-sided wall banner that
goes between having the Box Legendary's
and the actual map on there the map
looks kind of dope and as opposed to
just being a regular poster like this
one from Gamestop it's shaped like a
like a sports banner which is pretty
neat now if you decide to get the double
pack you're going to get special codes
that you're going to be getting a larva
tar and a Jiang MOA well you're not
getting them you're getting Dynomax
crystals which means that you're gonna
be able to summon them on will and
battle them in battle now we don't know
if Jiang mo and larva tar have Giganta
max forms they might considering that
you know you're gonna get these as a
pre-order bonus but what's unique is
you're gonna be able to redeem these in
either game so if you get Pokemon sword
which does not have larva tar you can
use the code for larva tart in Pokemon
sword therefore you don't have to you
know trade for it and same thing goes
for Jiang mo in Pokemon shield not too
relevant because you're going to own
both of the games I mean you can't trade
with yourself if you only have one
switch and Pokemon home is it gonna be
out for a couple of months I guess it
just makes it a little bit easier but
I'm really excited to see if these two
are gonna be having Giganta max forms
while we're talking about verging
exclusives there is also a version
exclusive gems which we've covered
before and pokemon sword you're gonna
fight bei and pokemon shield you're
gonna fight Alistar the gym is in the
exact same location that ties into
something that Game Informer talked
about recently how they said that the
game is going to have 18 gems kinda
there are 18 gems in total spread
throughout two different games pokemon
sword and pokemon shield so versioning
exclusives are unique gems and also
there's the major and minor leagues
similar to the Japanese style j-1 and j2
like the minor-league and major-league
kind of concept so what I'm thinking and
hear me out here is that there's going
to be four minor league gems and there's
going to be eight major league gems just
like normal and there's going to be four
of those gems that are version exclusive
so in the minor league you're gonna have
say for example one version exclusive
Jim whether you fight you know psychic
or dark and then in the major league
you're going to be having three verging
exclusive gyms or maybe it's two and two
or there's a chance that it's going to
be six in the minor league and eight in
the major league and there's one version
exclusive in each we don't know those
exact numbers yet we know that there's
18 spread throughout the major league
minor league and the version exclusives
speaking of pre-ordering if you decide
to purchase digitally you get 12 quick
balls that's not great I mean it's it's
better than nothing but 12 quick balls
does that really gonna help you but if
you're thinking about downloading the
game digitally the actual game size has
been leaked if we look right here this
is the game card if you want to I guess
buy the game digitally right here ten
point three gigabytes that means that if
you are against physical copies and you
want digital only and you want to be
able to install it onto your Nintendo
switch you may need to delete some games
in order to have ten point three
gigabytes available it might be slightly
higher than that for the actual
installation process be warned and if
you want to install it to your SD card
to make sure same rules apply ten point
three gigabytes it's always healthy to
have a little bit more available now you
may be asking why is it ten point three
gigabytes that's almost the size that
breadth of the wild was is this game
going to be as big as breath of the wild
absolutely not
you should not be deceived or under any
influence that this game is going to be
near the size of Legend of Zelda breath
of the wild Legend of Zelda breath of
the wild is a very very large world but
they cleverly use the same assets and
just move them in different areas with
different textures like the hills and
the valleys and the snow area and
everything in the desert area let's just
look at the enemies for example in
breath of the wild there's bow cabins
mob lends lizalfos and keys I think
that's pretty much the end of the the
not mini-boss or or unique enemies even
though it's just them it's just the same
model they just
we use different textures for when it
changes different colors and difficulty
so all that is just one model with four
different textures and that covers four
different classes of the same enemy as
opposed to Pokemon which is gonna have
hundreds of Pokemon that have their own
unique forms color schemes Road Amma has
a few different forms so each of those
is their own custom texture and model so
there's a lot of that data that's all
stored in there and while you compare
this to older games like Sun and Moon
ultrasone altra Moon X or Y horas it's
more than double even the largest game
which was pokemon ultra Sun and Moon
which is about 4 gigabytes and that has
a lot to do with the textures of this
game everything is gonna be at 1080p so
the textures are gonna be a 1080p
instead of how they were on the 3d s
when they were displaying it 200 220 240
P whatever that number was it was
garbage so bottom line is this game is
going to be one beefy boy clear up ten
point three gigabytes if you're going to
be downloading it digitally from
Australia the day before release like I
am that brings me to one of my final
talking points is that Coral coral
magazines cover for their guide for
Pokemon sword and shield has leaked and
just like lots of guides they both said
there's a map and the the very small
part of your screen at right now is the
map we went ahead and I threw this into
Photoshop and here's the full glorion
map and what i did is i decided to leave
this area over what we've seen in the
full map so if we hide that we can see
this is the outline of this giant wall
with the big dragon face right there
going all the way down past the red town
to the large water structure over here
to the left of the mountains boom same
exact area now particularly what all
these little dots are we're not really
too sure at this point I haven't been
able to find any concrete information on
this
I've had some sources say that they are
dynamaxx spawn locations and I've had
some people theorize that they're just
references of wild Pokemon that appear
in the area if I were to go into
sharpening and sharpen a whole bunch
that gives me a better contrast so you
can actually see
oh that was too far zoomed in where all
these icons are and right here we can
see that this is an icon with what looks
to be aligned straight up going to the
keys over here I do want to note what
pokemon has been doing in the recent
generations with spawn locations and
Pokemon Sun and Moon ultra Sun ultra
moon route one had lots of pieces of
grass and what was unique as each piece
of grass had its own unique spawn table
so instead of think of Gen 1 how all of
route 1 had the same chance to find the
same Pokemon in the more recent games
there are some Pokemon that only appear
in certain areas of a route or some
Pokemon are more predominant in certain
areas even going back to Pokemon X&Y
when lebay Bay I always say that name
wrong
only spawned inside of the flower
patches that got expanded more upon in
Sun and Moon to the point that each
patch of grass is unique and if you've
ever played the game with a randomizer
you would know that each of those
patches of grass has completely
different Pokemon that means that what
they can program is every single little
zone gate fencing of location that they
want can spawn different Pokemon and
this is important because it looks like
the wild area is just one area it's not
going to be two separate areas although
it does look like there's something that
prevents you from progressing half way
so maybe here's like the beginner wild
area and then once you clear a certain
amount of the game you get access to
this wild area we're not 100% sure right
now or you might get access to the whole
thing if these are in fact Dynomax spawn
locations I would say that these are
Pokemon that have a chance to spawn at
those max raid battles know what I mean
we won't know exactly what this map is
and what these keys are on the outside
until we either get better leaks of the
inside of it but this has been leaked
about a month out from the game and this
is only gonna release after the game
releases so we're not too sure exactly
what all of this is but it is nice to
see that the wild area is one
large expansive area and there's a lot
going on here like if these are all
different Pokemon that could spawn
inside of the wild area you're gonna be
able to explore here for a long time and
I like that all right guys well that's
gonna be wrapping up all the Pokemon
