- Pokemon Sword and Shield have been analyzed, discussed, and critiqued heavily since their release, however there is something about the games that no one is mentioning that is one of the best parts about the titles. Today, we're going to be looking at the amazing message of Pokemon Sword and Shield that no one is talking about, and explain how profound and prevalent within the games this message truly is.

#Pokemon #PokemonSwordShield #Nintendo - Hry
Have you guys noticed that Nintendo over all is telling us to be good people.
Yes
While simultaneously letting their developers be ashsoels and rip us off? yes.
Ceil Yurie it’s not their developers that are ripping them of don’t blame gamefreak it’s obviously Tpc and Nintendo
@@thek-nerd3143 exactly. And think about it, for what it is it's actually a pretty good game if you can for five sodding seconds look past the damn national Dex.
@@groudongamer3178 not so much
Ms. Opal: kidnapped bede cause he wore pink
Also ms. Opal: purple is my favorite color
In terms of color, I would place Bede's wardrobe as a red-purple, potentially Magneta or Fuchsia. This might clock it in as a darker/redder shade of "pink", but also fits neatly as "purple" fashion-wise.
In fact, we see this with the notably "carnation"/"rose-pink" design of the Fairy-type gym outfit. No doubt, that's pink. Likewise, we see no-doubt purple with Opal's indigo (possibly intended to be a dark violet?) boa. And Bede is somewhere between the two.
-----
And yes, I realize before submitting that I have magenta misspelled. But magneta sounds like an awesome color, so you're stuck with it. :P
Cause she likes when other people wearing it
No, Pink is something else, not that.
In opal’s gym she mentioned that she loved to see pink on other people
GuardianTamer she meant some thing mental idk
There was a massive "passing down the torch" themes and a black and white style of finding Himself with Hop.
The "passing down the torch" theme goes back to Gold/Silver/Crystal with the true final battle (against the very first Pokemon protagonist).
@@botmaster9000 Yeah. The last time we would have seen that theme was gen 5 in Black & White 2. It's always nice to see this idea in storytelling when it shows up.
I wish Pokemon would stop being super aloof when it comes to the story element of the games. They've shown they can craft an exciting thought-out story with UsUm and a fantstic well-crafted story with nuanced and suprisingly deep characters in B&W and B2W2.
SWSH also talks about the impacts of historical revisionism
And Cara Lisa should be in jail
@@akumaking1 because Cara Liss is careless?
She's also on the run as an ex aether foundation employee and is rumoured to have something to do with type:null. All speculation but I like that idea the best.
And why the switch needs a "punch bede" button :D...
I'm sorry
I thought the biggest theme was passing on the torch, like Bede becoming the new gym leader, Sonia becoming the new professor and Leon's graceful handling of defeat, even Sordword and Shielbert (who should have been called Shieldbob) passing on their self proclaimed titles to you
@SMD sth91 yes
@SMD sth91 And Gunther. (The Hidden Brother) (From Adventure Time)
People didn't notice this message bc they are still busy complaining about that tree texture
Real, i serves literally no purpose.
Well, that and the NatDex issue.
Amen
People who still complain about the tree are idiots
Sean of the Sun they tried something different. Whine whine.
"Characters like Opal and Team Yell show us that, even if we don't have our actual family right there by our side, we still have people in our lives that care about us, and treat us like their family."
Might just be the current depression, but this hit me really hard. Thank you for including that line, I really needed to hear that right now.
I’m gonna say it. I love Hop as a character. He’s SOOOO freakin relatable especially with teens/young adults struggling with depression and the reality of not living up to being “the best” which is given through labels such as “gifted” or “honors” only to realized later that we’re just average. I can really see myself in him
Katrina Just sad that his conclusion isn’t that well done, is it?
You bring up a great point though. Hop wants to be a professor by the end, right? So if it was built up way better, it could be the message of ‘You might not be the best at everything, but focus on your own talents. On what makes you special.’ Could’ve been a good message for kids. Now the build-up was a bit meh and repetitive and the conclusion was rushed. If only the writing was better. Then again, the game was rushed as heck. Too bad.
He is literally Hau
I agree. I love Hop so much
He's a more annoying Hau
Yes! I absolutely love Hop. Probably one of my favorite rivals. ❤
Fact:
Did you know that leon is the undefeated champion of the galar region
WHAT?!
Angela Bell and another fact : did you know that Leon is pants with directions
Was
Did you know his partner is Charizard?
Did you know that his partner Charizard is really strong?
The main message I got is to break free and become independent if your in someone's shadow. Purely because I've alls been X's sister and its annoyed me. But I try not to look for messages until after I finish the game.
Great video Hoops as always.
xxxtencion or Malcolm X?
Zama and zac are canonically thought to be related, with zac being zama’s older sister. Read Zac’s dex entry in shield
Zacian is likely based on Morgan le Fay, King Arthur's sister while Zamazenta is likely based on King Arthur himself. Fay... Fae (Fairy). Makes sense xD
It’s slightly represented by swordward and shieldbert, with Swordbert being referred to as the older sibling.
Yes but it only says people think that not that it is true
I see the main message of sword and shield as change. everyone is passing down their titles/professions etc to others. For example, the obvious, Leon passing the title of champion down to you, Marnie and bede both becoming gym leaders after their brother and mentor respectively. Best gir- I mean Sonia becoming a professor. And unexpected change like when hop becomes Sonia’s assistant.
Here’s a quote (I’m sorry I don’t know where it’s from) “Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about.” This video really reminded me of this quote. Hope everyone has a good day!
There is also when picking your starters, I know technically Leon picked the last one. What everyone saw was the champion taking the Pokémon strong type wise against you. But, another way to look at it is he took the Pokémon that had a type disadvantage against his brother Hop. He took the Pokémon his brother would have an easier time overtaking if they battled each other.
Tbh this is a great video. I actually realised there were a lot of family ties in this game, but I thought of it as a message to younger people to be the leaders of the future, and that gamefreak implies that the future depends on us. You know, examples of this are Marnie (became the gym leader replacing her older brother), Sonia (replaced Magnolia as the professor), Bede (who kinda got adopted by Opal and became a gym leader himself), and to a certain extent Hop (who became the lab assistant) and maybe even Gordie following his mom's footsteps. That's just me thinking tho
thank you sharing these thoughts, its super effective! and i cant believe i didnt notice this theme while playing through the storyline. really makes me appreciate this game that much more! i love the concept of "The Power & Bonds Of Family"
That's true:)
About the whole "we are the future" concept, it also applies to the games' plot, with climate change and whatnot.
This is truly an amazing message to have. Something to inspire our youths to be better versions of past generations.
Yes, this is exactly what I was thinking throughout the video! Family is just one of many themes applied to the major takeaway from Sword & Shield: our collective responsibility to pave the way for those who come after us. It applies to every passing of the torch you mentioned, but it's also an important part of understanding Chairman Rose's best and worst character traits. Despite having roughly a thousand years left to plan for Eternatus' reawakening, he chose to tackle the issue here & now so future generations could sleep easy knowing the Darkest Day had already been averted & Galar's power source would remain secure. Unfortunately he didn't trust anyone else would bother helping his cause unless he took drastic measures.
3:32
i'm not sure if you're aware of zacian's hero of many battles form's pokedex entry in shield, but it says "This Pokémon has slumbered for many years. Some say it's Zamazenta's elder sister-others say the two Pokémon are rivals."
zacian and zamazenta being siblings could very well be a real part of sword and shield. unfortunately, this is the only mention of the legendaries being related, but i personally like to believe that they're siblings in some way.
this also means that there's a possibility the two pokemon are just rivals, but siblings can be rivals, too!
Shield's pokedex states zacian is the sister of zamezenta.
My whole life is a lie......
@@racism4lifee Yes... I couldn't believe Zacian is a frickin' girl.
What really helped me, is that "Zacian" sounds similiar to "Sasha" and that's a unisex name, but I know a female Sasha... So I kinda get used to this.
@@helion6075 Oh ok, now I makes more sense
My Zacian is named Swordgirl. She takes no prisoners.
Aren't they genderless?
Dang. I always thought Bede's story was sad but the way you talked about it honestly made me cry lol. I'm really glad he gets someone who actually cares about him and inspires him in his life.
"Family will always be there for you," until it isn't. Some families are abusive, broken, and/or outright hostile to each other. Sometimes the best thing for a person to do is leave their family behind and instead surround themselves with caring friends and more distant relatives.
Edit: Magnolia wasn't exactly encouraging to Sonia. She kinda just insulted and shamed her until she found something useful, then acted like she'd been supportive all along and retired.
Yeah Magnolia is kinda a jerk
Gave me Gladion, lillie, Lusimine, and Mohn vibes •-•
I love this game so much 💜 ;-;
Subtle detail: Bede’s eyes shine brighter when you see Bede after Opal has taken him under her wing :)
wait seriously??
Jason Lim quickest example i can find is about 9:45-10:00 take note of Bede’s eyes and how there’s a bit more twinkle when it transitions to the tournament
Kaella De Pano interesting...
I always thought the main theme of SwSh was "strength" seeing as almost everyone u meet is trying to become Campion, Rose is trying to find a "stronger" energy source in Eternatus, and even Swordward and Shielbert trying to use the Wolves to become the new Kings
I still would have rather had a more exciting story than to have Leon “take care of it for me”.
frikin true. i don't care about that tree omg
He only did that once though. And you basically got to experience exactly what you missed from that at the end of the main story and with post-game.
Memento Mortum which wasn’t very much experience all in allz
The point of the Champion in Galar was that they take care of the conflicts going on in the region. Leon took care of the problems that you were not ready for yet. When the conflict was thrust upon you with Eternatus, it felt much more impactful. The main conflict of Sword/Shield was the overwhelming adversity thrown at you by others participating in gym challenges. As you grew to understand the Galar region and its history, so did Leon's story intertwine with yours. I wish there was some expansion such as a book or anime special that showed Leon's perspective of the story up to Eternatus's reveal.
I love that Leon took care of everything. Cuz it made me go where were you past champions?! Why does a ten year old have to deal with criminals?! Where is the cops?! The past champions left the final fight to you for some reason. Despite the fact that it should be their jobs to protect their region. Oh there an evil team? Taking people as hostages? Welp not my problem. Hey kid who just started their journey. Go take care of it. Lance only helped in gen 2. For lake of rage. Never mind the radio tower, guess that too much for him. I’m glad we get a champion that took his job seriously. You only step up after you get all eight badges and defeating all challengers. Showing everyone that you was capable to deal with it. The only thing I hate is how easy rose was. Seriously an all steel team? Could have mix types to give us more a challenge ending with copperajah. Not just pure steel types
I realized there is another theme to this game and that is passing down from one generation to the next. There’s Professor Magnolia passing down the title of professor to Sonia, Opal passing down the title of Fairy Gym Leader to Bede, Piers passing down the title of Dark Gym Leader to Marnie, Leon passing down the title of Champion to the player character, even Sordward and Shielbert passing down their self-proclaimed titles of the Kings of Galar to the player character. Considering how long Pokémon has been going on for, in our own world, there is literally a whole new generation of people that play the games. Some people who played the older games as children now have children of their own who play the games and it’s like a passing of the torch from the older generation to the new one to enjoy these games and have the best experience with Pokémon that they can.
SuperNova I loved this ❤️
Amanda Daley Thanks 😊
I'd argue that B2W2 has even more relatives mentioned:
Alder & Benga (grandfather & grandson)
Cedric & Juniper (father & daughter)
Cilan, Cress and Chilli (triplets)
Roxie & Pop Roxie (father & daughter)
Emmet & Ingo (twin brothers)
Ghetsis, N, Concordia & Anthea (father & adopted children)
Hugh & his sister (siblings)
I love the message you found, I thought you were going to talk about to environment and the message that chairman Rose conveyed about the world not being able to sustain itself.
Yeah, that was soooooo hidden in the story. Couldn’t find that without a lamp and pick axe.
This isn't the first time that a Pokemon game talked about that sort of thing. That was basically the plot to X and Y as well.
I find there is a Creation theme too. Since Duraludon, Dracovish and Dragapult all share the same typings as the Creation Trio. Plus Type:Null is there representing Arceus and now we not only have all 4 Regis, but two new ones too.
So, I love this video essay. I would like to add that Leon and Rhian act like brothers too. This, to me, helps reinforce the idea that family isn’t always blood (like Leon, Sonia, and the Team Yell examples.)
The message i got from this what never loose track of who you are. When hop got lost a battle he was sad throughout half of the game but when he began to believe in himself he caught up to you. Something else i got was also follow your dream to the very end because you never know what you will get or who you will find/become
I don't know if anyone commented on this, but Bede's transition to a gym leader was symbolic of his relationship with Rose and darker parts of life. When he was still a trainer, he was weak against dark type Pokemon. He couldn't do anything to them. But when he became the fairy type gym leader, he could finally fight off the darkness in his life and be a better person.
So that's something I just wanted to point out.
Oh no one noticed? That's a broad stretch to say that no one noticed
Gotta get the click bait title in there some how!
It's purely for title purposes. Its lame and annoying but it gets views. Its no different than the "you didn't know" "you may/probably have forget" ect titles
I wouldn't be surprised-the fandom was so focused on the Brexit situation that I haven't seen this talked about either. Not even BIG HUGE Poketubers like Lockstin and MandJTV talked about this.
I have to agree. I love Hoops and the channel, but I didn't appreciate the click bate at all
Imagine doing games like these in English class lmao
You just made me love this game even more! 🙂
You should do a video on Hop's character arc! I relate to him so much. You know how you're supposed to be proud of your friend but deep down you're jealous of them and wished you were them? I literally see that in Hop. That little animation after you beat him in a fight where he does this (I don't know what to call it) jerky movement and proceeds to smile speaks volumes.
Funfact: in pokemon masters iris says shes related to hop and leon
They aren’t related. You probably got that from a screenshot, the screenshot was photoshopped
Mmm ah yes, thanks for this. I dont see SWSH's themes appreciated much outside of small pockets of peers on twitter and the like.
I'd like to add that Rose's role in this whole familial theme is more than just "the man who abandoned bede". We know Rose runs most of Galar, from the means of entertainment, to the modes of sustainability. It's evident he genuinely cares about his region and his people. So when he's talking to leon about an energy crisis a thousand years away, it has the same tone as a parent talking to their kid about retirement plans. Down to the child's reluctance to do so because "that's money i could be using now, I can start saving later" being reflected in leon just wanting to fight his match.
I think, while alot can be said about family being there for you as a theme, I think there's alot more said about the WAYS family is there for you, and how that varies from person to person. Because whether its being distant inspiration through a TV screen for years (Leon and hop), sending out your underlings to ensure your younger sister's success (Piers and marnie), or taking drastic measures without proper preparation (Rose and galar), there's a very realistic "its the caring intention that matters, despite how others take it" mentality throughout the game
anyway sorry for rambling, I can go on forever if I dont cut myself off here lol
Really awesome vid and can't wait to see what other themes you come across :D
3:36 it's not mentioned anywhere that Zacian and Zamazenta are siblings
In Zacian's English, Japanese, and Chinese Shield dex entries, it states that some say Zacian is Zamazenta's elder sister (in other languages, a generic term for sibling is used)
I also see a "let shine the new generations" theme
"Characters like Opal and Team Yell show us that, even if we don't have our actual family right there by our side, we still have people in our lives that care about us, and treat us like their family." This made me cry ngl
I got the whole “ we’re the next generation and we need to go all electric until the darkest day comes “
Now i finaly dont hate Bede anymore, thanks mate!
I still dislike him but a bit less
Finally someone talks about Bede’s story. Really interesting
Thanks Hoops. This past month has been really rough, so hearing this has made me feel much better.
You missed one family, Stow-n-go gym's Alistar and Bea. I think they are brother and sister.
I kinda felt that message throughout the whole game. Maybe that's the reason why I felt so comfortable in that world. Because in reality I didn't have a family or anyone who's supporting me, but in Sword and Shield I kinda had a replacement for that.
Never really noticed this but I see how it’s there. But yeah I do love how Leon gave us the starter Pokémon instead of the professor. Changes it up a little
thank you for clarifying this! the topic needed more attention ;
@HoopsandHipHop
Thank You so much for covering this!!!
I can't believe nobody else is, and I have brought this up to so many people!!!
Milo asdlso has a little brother, though to my knowledge, he wasn't in the game - but he's in Milo's official art - and I don't know about Bea and Allister, but in Bea's official art, Allister is in one of the pics - or is it in Allister's art?
Anyway, I'm not sure what their relationship is, but there's a lot of fan speculation that they're adoptive siblings.
My sister was mad that Opal picked Bede and not her as the successor to her gym, and I tried to explain the reason but she wouldn't have it.
But anyway, thank you so, so, sooo much for this...it is so awesome to see other people notice the things you have when it seemed like nobody cared...
Thank you so much, and I hope you have a blessed day!
it's really heartwarming learning all of it in this video
I saw something interesting relating to zacian as zamezenta as siblings on bublbapedia, sometimes people do refer Zacian as Zamezenta's elder sister
Finally someone else can see that this game has the best story/character development.
Another couple of fun things is in shields pokedex entry for Zacian it says she's the big sister, and in Pokemon Masters theres a bit of dialogue that says Iris is Hopb & Leon's cousin
With this theme also has a black and white theme of passing he torch and I love both games and am hit right in the feels
Another theme I noticed is the theme of the older generation stepping down for the newer generation. It happened with Leon and the player character, Professor Magnolia and Sonia, Piers and Marnie, and Opal and Bede.
I needed this today, thank you
I don't think I've seen anyone else speaking about the subject, however I think it is a clear message..
This is an interesting video, but I find the title Exaggerating..
Never let it go unsaid that Family is always important
You should do this kind of video for all the Pokemon Games
Excellent video man. Thanks for the top quality and always optimistic and fun content. Your creativity and high standards in creation always reflects in your videos. 💯🔥🤙🙏☝️
That hits extremely close to home
I thought Bede was a Grandma at first😂
I thought they made a queen of England reference @-@
I seem to remember a video in which Hoops said it was interesting that they had a grandma rival, then added in editing that he learned after recording the audio that Bede was a boy. 👵🏽👦
Bro your videos are so great but I think some actual gameplay in the background would be great. Even if it was just some battles or something.
Tbh I kinda wished a sequel came out for these games, where Hop was the professor, and you could challenger Bede and Marnie in gyms
Wow. I didn't even think about that.
@@incognitodon5779 I wish
The hero of many battles form for zacian in Pokémon shield states that some say that it’s zamazenta’s older sister.
while the message of family always being there to support you is an important message, it's important that we consider what family really means. there are lots of people with blood relationships who are very much NOT supportive of them and can even be abusive. family for some people can be their most integral friends.
Interesting perspective. When I watched Pokemon Sword/Shield Let's Plays, I focused on the technological advances in Galar and Chairman Rose's shallow evil plan, and how the ancient heroes in the forest, Zacian and Zamazenta, help you fight the other-worldly threat that is Eternatus. The message I took away from the game is that one can only fight nature for so long before nature starts to fight back. However, this is a sweet and fitting message as well, and I'm glad you made a video about it.
Hop needs to watch this video now
somebody help him
I realized this and I always get kind of pissed when people call Hop a bad rival. I think he’s a great rival maybe even top 5. But most people are like “ha ha, Hop sucks and I always destroy him lol”
Wasn't that the theme of Sun and Moon even though the various characters aren't related. They be calling us cousins.
You're right, cousin!
Excellent video!
Is it bad if Opal became my favorite Gym leader just because of her Lore and the way how she helped Bede like a loving (Yet scary and strict) grandma?
and here's the thing: prior games had a theme too
Gen 1: your standard adventure to the top
Gen 2: Becoming your idol and surpassing them
Gen 3: Coexistance of Humanity and Nature
Gen 4: Emotion and friendship
Gen 5: Morality
Gen 6: Beauty and Preservation
Gen 7: Tradition vs Modernity
Gen 8: Passing down the Torch
There is also a lesson that's kinda funny on the meta level and it involves Chairman Rose.
What is it? "Take you time to plan things out well, dont rush otherwise things may lead to disaster."
A lot of people have been focusing more on how Hop and the crisis of confidence he was facing, and that he eventually decides to change career paths because pursuing strength wasn’t worth it and wasn’t making him happy. That’s certainly a good lesson in itself, but I had completely overlooked the family aspect of the story. This is definitely one of the best videos you’ve made, I’ll be sure to share it with people!
This is really cool music used, can u pls link it?
I'm probably not the first to think this, but here's a theory. I know Bede seems antagonistic toward just about everyone, but what if he seems somewhat antagonistic toward Opal because he thinks, "I don't want to get too attached because she'll...she'll leave like the others." Opal has to work with him to convince him that A) she's still got plenty of spirit left in her despite her age and B) when the great Mimikyu does take her hand and guide her into the next world, she'll still be with him in spirit.
Good message hoops 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
I thought maybe the message was to never give up( well maybe it links to this message but idk) my reasoning for this is from the character Hop. He is shown as a head-on and upbeat character though when bede defeats him in a battle he thinks he isn’t good enough which is something many people think when they see and think how much better other are than them and it really effected his personality and gave him a bit more depth than other rivals from the past. He even changes up his team which shows what people do to make themselves stronger and better at the thats we love and thats exactly what hop did and he never gave up and even in the post game we see his story of a Pokemon trainer come to a close when he decides to become Sonia’s assistant. And that’s why I think the message from sword and shield is to never give up.
Okay, but now look at gen 7:
Hau + the Kahuna
Lillie/Gladion/Lusamine/the supposed father running the islands whose name I have forgotten
Guzma/Plumeria/Team Skull
Guzma/Lusamine
Kukui/Burnet + Lillie, because they pretty much adopted her there
Nanu/Acerola
Tapus all bear a strong theme resemblance and could be considered sibling protectors.
Heck, the islands are all separate units that together make up a whole--essentially, a family of their own.
The theme of family is VERY much in Alola, but with more of an emphasis on estrangement and reconciliation.
Family and growth were the main themes and GameFreak totally nailed it. Hop was the embodiment of these themes and seeing him find his true purpose thanks to the people around him was such a wonderful way to conclude the his story. I'm glad there is going to be a expansion rather than a director's cut that could have possibly retcon the best beats of Sword/Shield.
This message is really true and while I've seen it, I'm surprised it never really clicked.
the theme is to pass down the will of fire
I can’t be the only one who thought that Melony and Gordie were siblings 😭
Actually, there's a secret about both of them. Melony actually is the Mother of Gordie, then she said to Gordie that if he wanted to take over her gym. But Gordie didn't want it. And also Gordie, is the brother of Melony's family. Look closely at Gordie's rare league card, you will see that Gordie doesn't have his glasses there and Melony, maybe telling him to take over her gym, or just cheering her up. Also Gordie is angry too in the rare league card. Officially i've seen this in a video, but I don't remember which video. Well sorry that this comment was long. That's actually what I know from the both of them. So yea, that's all.
You make me cry
HOLY SHIT! Chairman rose is just like rose from steven universe!
I wonder what’s going to be the message in the DLC
Growth....and exploration
Dlc...? HERE COMES BEING POOR AGAIN.
😁 very nice and you're right... love the touch they did this generation
I also noticed another fascinating theme of the past passing along the mantle to the new which I think may be a parallel to what was going on with Game Freak and this game
@SMD sth91 well, passing the main series to the junior/younger team but otherwise technically yea.
It is the passing of something important to someone younger, be it a gym or the main series of Pokemon
@SMD sth91 hard to say, I feel like it would be lovely if these series is passed down for generations and can be shared with them perhaps telling the future generations of our adventures with Pokemon
I thought of this too. My interpretation of SwSh's story has always been that a person of power wanted to stop the a problem the region/franchise will face in the far future but caused it to happen early instead while saying nothing to the citizens/fans in advance.
These games went from meh to amazing because of this video
And dlc will make them even better
people noticed, and it's not even that profound
Yeah, but we have to find click bait for our weekly vids!
Nobody cared, we noticed the story, it just was meh
I agree. It's not like Hop's story is deep. Every scene is him talking about being better than his brother and that his brother is the whole source of him wanting to be a champion. It's not rocket science to see Hop looks up to Leon
I would have rather had an adventure than to have Leon, “take care of it” for me.
@@dinolover hop's character arc is by far the deepest part of the game though, we see how an optimistic and cheerful person breaks down after constant defeat, and ends up realising he's not the best trainer, but that's okay, instead of trying to be like his brother he realises he has to be himself
MAN! You made me cry! I hated Bede! ( because he is legit an absolute jerk ) but now I legit feel bad for him!!! What have you done to me!!!
Does anyone else remember a children's book whose cover shows a kitten being tucked into bed by a couple of geese (swans?) I think it's called Zachary's New Home.
Awesome video
It's all about supporting the next generation. Marnie, Bede, Sonia, your own character. It's all about helping the new people take over. Which makes sense as well with the anime with Ash training a new character. Pokémon has been going over 20 years, so it's a good idea to use this theme. That's a whole generation.
Beautiful video.
I thought Team Yell formed themselves though?
Sword and shield have a wonderful message and it's amazing. I just love swo/shi so much now.
I also have a theory. I theorise that Shield is set in the future but not too far in the future just like after gordie grew up and became leader. Melony and Gordie are my only reasons for this theory but I could find more
Man this is a touching message that I didn't know I needed to hear. It's crazy how this totally flew over my head. I always thought Pokémon used family as a way to connect characters, but it baffles me that they actually incorporated such an important message in them this time around.
I'm on plane
