Pokemon Fans Are Already Loving the New DLC
Today, The Pokemon Company surprised a lot of fans with the announcement of a pair of expansions [...]
Wouldn't have expected Knives Out in a Pokemon tweet, but I'll definitely allow it.
prevnextKNIVES OUT is likely getting an immediate follow up from Rian. GUNS AKIMBO has gotten a February release date. LOCKE AND KEY has a trailer and is on its way. And Pokemon Sword and Shield are getting expansions.
2020, you magnificent bastard.

The amount of content is definitely exciting.
prevnextHonestly, it feels like there is more content/new Pokemon being added to the expansions of Pokemon Sword/Shield than any of the third versions of any other Pokemon game.
They are really going all out on this.

People seem awfully excited about Mystery Dungeon, too!
prevnextAww heck, PMD Rescue Team remake? Straight-up DLC expansions for SwSh instead of 'third version'? Adding back more Pokemon (legendaries included) to the dex??

It seems like that Pikachu sums up a lot of people's feelings on the matter!
prevnextI'm very happy with this #PokemonDirect one of my favorite spinoffs is finally getting some love again with Pokemon Mystery Dungeon DX and the expansions for Sw/Sh...wonderful! All I can say is that very happy with all of this and can't wait!! pic.twitter.com/mR4lRxLdM6

$60 for 200 hours of content seems pretty reasonable, really.
prevnextSeeing some people going on about Pokemon Sword/Shield being "an incomplete game"...I don't know, I spent almost 200 hours on the base game alone. I'm looking forward to dumping another 200 hours into the game when the expansions come out.

Most people seem pretty happy about third versions being out of the picture!
prevnextI'm really excited by all this new Pokémon news! I know everyone has a different opinion/expectation, but I'm more than pumped to get expansions like this in 2020 instead of a new yearly release. Definitely a better approach than "Ultra".

It's a pretty happy ending to that whole saga, to be honest.
prevnextSo I’m gonna talk about the DLC expansions later but I’d just like to point out they just added 200 more Pokémon to the game essentially for free.
Meaning they’ll likely be adding the rest of the Dex as free updates as well.
So it looks like the National Dex is back.

We are long past overdue for some Pokemon art books, actually.
prevnextMan I super hope pokemon comes out with a massive art book for sword and shield after these expansions. Seeing all the concept art and doodles of the gigantimax's is so cool! Live for that sort of design stuff

The whole gang seems pretty pumped!
prevnextOh my goodness. @Pokemon is just awesome. I can’t wait for the expansions!!! pic.twitter.com/iYojmazJZE
