Agree with what Moony, I would like to see wild Pokémon roaming about and not just simply invisible to the eye or hiding in grass. The starters look OK, not sure which one I'd go for between them, but probably not Grookey.

A few examples

You make a good point about overworld spawning Yuri. I've only judged it on the visual aspect and didn't know it had any negative impacts on gameplay like how you mentioned.

I also like to imagine that second image being the opposite of Ash trying to get Pikachu in his ball at the start of the anime. XD

• Day and night cycles appear to be returning.
  
  
• New Pokémon! Wooloo — the sheep Pokémon, Gossifleur — the flowering Pokémon, Drednaw the bite Pokémon, Corviknight — the raven Pokémon, also used as a taxi system to fast travel the world, and Eldegoss — the cotton bloom Pokémon, and evolved form of Gossifleur.
  
  
• The widest variety of Pokémon can be found in a place called the Wild Area. This area stretches between cities and is filled with abundant nature, and Pokémon will appear dependent on the weather and your location. You will also have complete control of the camera while traversing this area. It also seems that Pokémon will roam wildly in this area like they do in the Let's Go games, but tall grass will continue to play its established role for finding wild Pokémon as well.
  
  
• Dynamax is a new feature that allows any Pokémon to become massive in size and in turn, boost their power; however, Dynamax can only be used once per battle and the Pokémon it is used on will revert to normal after three turns.
  
  
• You can connect to up to four other players locally or online in the Wild Area, which can trigger special features, one of which is called Max Raid Battle. In this battle, four players will face a wild Dynamax Pokémon who will remain in Dynamax form for the entire battle, and has special powers. Only one of the four players involved can Dynamax their own Pokémon, so you'll need to co-ordinate with your team. Victory will allow all players to catch the Dynamax Pokémon and add it to their collection. Some Pokémon can only be caught after being defeated in a Max Raid Battle.
  
  
• The current champion of the Galar region is Leon.
  
  
• Your rival is Leon's brother, Hop. His journey starts on the same day as yours.
  
  
• The player and Hop will receive help throughout the game from the Galar region's Professor Magnolia — who specialises in researching the Dynamax phenomenon, and her grand-daughter and assistant, Sonia.
  
  
• The grass gym leader is Milo.
  
  
• Legendary Pokémon! Zacian is the legendary for Pokémon Sword, and Zamazenta is the legendary for Pokémon Shield.
  
  
• Release Date! Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield will release worldwide on November 15th, and will also be available as a double pack if you want both games.
