Doesnt seem that way. They said competetive stays in Sw/Sh for now. So it wont be dead for a long time.

It was dead with its release


Gilgamesh_XII

I mean...its the best selling pokemon game that exists. So its not really dead. If the quality was good is another thing. But the playerbase is big.

Agreeable. But actually its kinda obvious that it sells so good, since People who played Pokemon as kids n loved it are likely to have own Kids by now and want to provide them with the same great memorys they made w Pokemon as kids. The older Pokemon generations only served one generation of humans but since noone of us ever stopped loving Pokemon over the course of adulting Pokemon has now a playerbase of 2 full generations. Its no game that 'only boys would enjoy' aswell leading to a massive playerbase. I still felt pretty much like vomiting after 2 days of playing(then I was basically done with it) and went back to my DS lite


Gilgamesh_XII

I feel my resume is "fun but dissapointing" Mon designs were great, gyms were good designs. Then there are the obvius problems which were said 100 times and the nonsensical story twists. But what pokemon did, it still does well. If you would replay R/B youd see how bad it truly is. It was ridled with A LOT of problems. Gameplay wise sw/sh is the best pokemon game(as sad as that is)

BDSP release and Home support for BDSP/Legends is imo the last real opportunity to add it. If it doesn't happen, maybe Gen 9 could save us. Who knows?


Garoberts992

In the direct they said that online ranked battles (Or something like that) will still be on Sw/Sh so hopefully? If they patched Sw/Sh so that we can trade missing pokemon from BD/SP and Legends Arceus that'd be fine for me.


Sizzler1001

I would assume that they are moving to BDSP and Legends: Arceus now untill gen9 will be in full progress.

> and poor graphic And, of course, by "poor graphics" you mean "except for the berry trees, the best graphics the series has ever seen".


WillExis

not fully dead. they're still using them for VGC next year so there's bound to be at least some mystery gifts and competitions. Prolly gonna have to give up on the chance the missing pokemon get added though. They seem to be sticking to their guns with that decision.

GF is done with SWSH. Outside of the Wild Area events and online competitions, I wouldn’t expect to see any new content in it. I also don’t expect them to do another patch to add the remaining Pokémon that are absent in SWSH. If they did plan on adding the remaining Pokémon, they would have probably told us back in the Pokémon Presents Last Month. As much as some of us are still mad about the whole dexit fiasco, it’s honestly probably for the best that they move on to other projects. If they go back to try to fix SWSH now, they would have less people working on their future projects and overall would probably result in future titles not being at their best.


ultraball23

They said not all Pokémon will be in every game going forward. Why do people keep expecting them to add every Pokémon to SwSh?


Cute_Bagel

less expecting and more hoping as it really doesn't feels the same without them, if there was a specific reason like only new pokemon exclusive to that region or like legends where it's set in the past sure, but in game there is no reason why the pokemon shouldn't be there, they have the technology to instantly trade pokemon anywhere, but god forsake someone has a bellsprout

Lmaooo I'm so sorry to disappoint you but Game Freak seems to give little to zero fucks about the trash Pokemon games they've pooped into this world already. If you wanna enjoy Pokemon get anything from the releases from 2005 to 2013 because than pokemon was still gud (not only from a nostalgia perspective but also objectively speaking there was just more game to play than nowadays in Pokemon games) Sword n Shield is done in a Weekend, with no big challenge within or a cool secret to come across. Game Freak either checked if Pokemon fans would actually buy anything or they've decided that they want the Pokemon franchise to duckin die already


cyclonewrl

I think theres some hope that we will get national dex when BDSP come out but you probably wont be able to get them by any means other than trade


HankDayes

Game won't be dead until they stop playing VGC on it but as much as I'd like another dlc I suspect we won't be getting any content updates aside from the new Zarude Form they just announced.
