Some Pokémon Sword and Shield information (From a source I have) - Pokemon Shield
For Pokemon Shield on the Nintendo Switch, a GameFAQs message board topic titled "Some Pokémon Sword and Shield information (From a source I have)".gamefaqs.gamespot.com
Here's the link to the thread, so you don't have to wait through 13 minutes.
I sincerely doubt this is true. This guy's got the entire schedule plan leaked for SwSh trailers, but doesn't know a single name of the Pokemon? Pokemon has a set release date now, but didn't two weeks ago?
So many different "leaks/rumors", and a lot of them conflict with each other, while making agreements on other stuff. What to believe here now. I say, none of them. That said, here's another for you guys and gals to enjoy
- Person that made the report (not guy in the video itself), tells this information came from a trusted source that apparently works with the Pokémon Company.
- No E3 Demon has been leaked, and claims the video of the dragon/bug thing is fake.
- Graphics are going to be upgraded from debut trailer, but not by much.
- Region is very large, larger than what the art suggests, like the size of two regions.
- Kalos is said be pretty close to Galar and mentions are made in the game.
- Kalos WILL not be in the game however as a post-game region to explore.
- The three Starter Evolution chains will not be shown before E3, but sometime late after.
- Final Types for the Starter Evolutions are said to be Fire/Electric, Water/Poison and Grass/Ground.
- Scorbunny's Final Evo is described as a Glass Cannon type of mon. Speedy, powerful but super frail.
- Sobble's Final Evo resembles a frailer version of Swampert design wise. Actual role unknown.
- Grookey's Final Evo becomes bulkier and has stats tailored for attack and physical defense, similar to Torterra
- Pokémon exclusive to the Alola region aren't found in Galar. (This is disproven in the trailer, so it may refer to Alola regional formes.)
- Meltan plays a critical role while Melmetal is unconfirmed. Meltan has a new unseen form.
- Armored Evolution is claimed to be true, but goes by a different name, and is Galar's version of Mega Evolution.
- Mega Evolution returns, but no new Megas are introduced. May likely only limited to be obtained in Post Game.
- Regional Forms for Galar don't exist.
- Regional Dex for new mons is stated to be around 111 Pokémon. Armored Evolutions may be counted as part of new dex or not. Unclear.
- The Legendaries are said to be the Wolves shown in the game's Sword and Shield logos. Focuses on Attack and Defense.
- Sword Legendary is Steel/Ice (Attack oriented), and Shield Legendary is Steel/Dragon (Defense oriented)
- Third Legendary is pure mono Steel type and specializes in both Attack and Defense, being the most well-balanced.
- There are two Pesudo Legendary lines in the games; one for Sword version (Attack) and one for Shield version (Defense).
- The term "Gym Masters" is nothing but a renaming for Gym Leaders, and because Gyms are slightly different than before.
- You can not battle the gyms in any order.
- Evil Teams are dynamic and there are two of them. They are similar to Aqua and Magma, opposing one another with different ideals and goals.
- The overal story of the games is said to be very great and amazing, possibly the greatest of all Pokémon games.
Ultimately, I believe none of these reports, for it doesn't matter to me, and because most of them like to repeat or conflict with other "leaks/rumors", and/or are too detailed to be true. As such, I treat all "leaks/rumors" as BS and as something to amuse myself with fan speculation till official information gets dropped until the eventual release of the games.

This is. . .interesting. I wonder if it'll mean anything in context to the games or if gamefreak thought it would just look cool to plaster norse symbols in places. Maybe it could be forshadowing a legendary? It looks like it's relevant to the gym but I don't see what Odin's spear would have to do with grass types
I always kind of supported the idea that the region has norse influences to it, just like Kalos had. Seeing that symbol of Odin pretty much just solidified that idea more.
