    That was a nice touch... Ludicolo wasn’t one I was expecting to see in the trailer, but I’m so glad they showed him

    It was a nice touch and I will admit that I missed it first time because the signage is a bit hard to see (as it's towards the bottom of the screen, but it's still visible enough to tell what it is.

    Scorbunny's footfalls in the trailer did seem kinda sparky. Maybe those patches on its feet and face are of a material that causes sparks on impact?

    Nice pointing that out. Sobble's is pretty obvious but I didn't think about that for Grookey. Now I really want it to become a gorilla, DK Jungle Beat time?

    I'll whip out the bongos then.

    Also, this is going to sound stupid, but with this region being based on the UK, I wouldn't mind encountering the Spanish Inquisition because no one expects them.

    At this stage, I'm planning on getting Sword, but the Legendary designs might change that.

    On the subject of third versions, I've seen people say stuff like helmet, staff (like mage's cane), but I've also seen jokes like grapple ala the spirit categories in Smash.

    Inb4 its the "Solrock and Lunatone not being in SM/USUM" all over again.  Then again, being another counterpart to a EU region, it WOULD be a crime NOT to have the Honedge line in these games.

    The Solrock/Lunatone thing reminded me of a late XY-episode of the anime when TR had trinkets featuring said pokemon as a nod to SM. But yeah we have to have Honedge available in some capacity in these games.

    Oh, is that what it is? Yeah, the simultaneous release makes the extra video quite redundant given what I saw of the video looked completely identical to what I saw in NoA's stream.

     

    One thing is for sure... it seems to me like Kalos is going to be clamored for in this game all the more now. Now that it doesn't seem impossible (though still very unlikely, imo), even I'd like that more now... 

    Yeah, apart from the "UK:" tag, it's just the same.

    On another note, speaking of Kalos, I'd like to see a Wikstrom cameo in this game, and it'd be a crime to not have Honedge in the regional dex.

    I wonder what the character customisation is going to be like. We didn't see any, but I doubt they'd pull that. Also, the female trainer looks VERY anime to me for some reason. Makes me think of Onodera from Nisekoi. 

    I also wonder what character customisation will be like as well, and I do agree about the female trainer, I do like her design more than the male personally.

    That much is understandable. And yet I cannot shake off the impression of them looking rather... IDK if rehashed is the word I look for. For example, the Fire one feels a lot like Buneary, the Grass makes me think of Pansage, a fellow Grass monkey Pokemon. Not to mention there are a handful of of monkey and rabbit Pokemon already. Hence why I lean towards the Water one, as the only other chameleon Pokemon around is Kecleon IIRC, so that's just 1.

    I got Bunnelby-vibes from the fire starter tbph.

    I'm leaning towards Sobble atm, but Grookey is growing on me as well.

    extended thoughts
    The art style, certainly looks beautiful, and I'm not saying that because it's a UK-based region, it actually does look good, they certainly look to be pulling all the stops. From what I've seen from the trailer, it does look like a mix between S/M and Let's Go, which I think is a good idea. Let's Go tested the waters for what the Switch games can do and I hope these games deliver. I did enjoy the battle on a football pitch and the trainer donning a jersey and walking onto the pitch, though the one negative for me is the male character's bag, I just don't like how it looks tbph.

    I wonder what that sporting event thing is that we see at the end of the in-game footage. The uniform must mean it's something specific.

    I think it's football/soccer because we saw Lucario and Tyranitar battling on such a pitch in the trailer, and it makes sense given the sport is popular in the UK.

    Sword and Shield, suspiciously clock tower-like building with pokeball symbol, now this official video straight up says UK... wow, totally confirmed.

    There are two versions of the same video on the official YT channel which is completely redundant given the simultaneous release. ORAS was fine to have two versions given it came out in Europe a week later.

    Sun/Moon also had a later release in Europe, which again made having two vids fine

    Spell/Quick-Play
    When your opponent activates a Spell/Trap Card or monster effect that would destroy a monster(s) on the field (except during the Damage Step): Pay 1500 LP; negate the activation, and if you do, destroy it.

    So the official OCG database has updated the rulings page for MBiaS explaining that it can be used during the damage step (Note: this update came from duel links), however the TCG database still lists this restriction, so until there's an update for TCG, it is to be played as written. Why this is important however is because the recently released Altergeist Protocol has an effect that can be used during the damage step, so between that and the ruling update for MBiaS may mean we could get future Spell/Traps that have effects that negate activations and can be used in the damage step.
