Indirectly.Did they ever mention this?
Nope. If you have both you have to buy it twice.So if you own both games, will a single purchase of the DLC pass cover both of them?
They do say the expansions are version exclusive in the Direct, with for example each version having a different rival etc.The expansions aren't version exclusive so doesn't look like being the case.
Even the Slowpoke evo items are expansion-exclusive rather than version exclusive like Applin's.
(though, we're 6-8 months away, so difficult to know for now)
The re-added Pokémon can be transferred/traded without buying the Pass. Poor way of looking at the new content as just “pay for pokemon”, and most people here have old Pokémon to transfer...aaand we're back
So, assuming Gamefreak makes an awful decision again and it's 200 pokemon in both expansions that's 30 bucks for 100 pokemon, which is just nuts
I thought they may restore the dex with DLC but I was thinking more on the lines of 10 bucks for 100 pokemon, maybe 50 if Gamefreak was feeling particularly greedy, as is it'd be a pretty bad deal if it is 100 per expansion
still, hey a reason to not give up on pokemon! awesome!
it seems I can even get a Zamazenta Switch lite! still!
discounted!
It requires someone buy the DLC. It's just a paywall with extra steps.The re-added Pokémon can be transferred/traded without buying the Pass. Poor way of looking at the new content as just “pay for pokemon”, and most people here have old Pokémon to transfer
It's not that different from a third-version game or previous gen-only Pokémon though.It requires someone buy the DLC. It's just a paywall with extra steps.
Kyurem-Black has entered the chat.i cant wait for garchomp to somehow be incompatible with the dragon dance tr
Considering it’s marketed as a pass, most likely one purchase of $30 for both with potentially more content down the lineIs it 30$ per one expansion, or is it for both?
dont forget our lord and savior boots volcKyurem-Black has entered the chat.
Me: I'm in danger!
Garchomp going straight to Ubers this gen.
Some of that illusion is ruined when realize the price increase game, the paid internet service required, etcIt's not that different from a third-version game or previous gen-only Pokémon though.

Oh, you’re definitely still paying for new Pokémon (technically you can still receive new stuff thru trades) but that’s par for the course for new games/content. I’m mainly surprised the player base wasn’t fractured between base and pass and that base SwSh is fully compatible with all the new stuff, going off of older cases like new Pokémon in USUM not working with SMI literally posted that the second I finished watching the direct, I haven't read the tread and my screen is to small to look at fine print
also since there're evolution items and new legendaries behind the expansion you're still paying for pokemon
This was answered in the direct. They said that buying the pass would give you access to both expansions.Is it 30$ per one expansion, or is it for both?
I am aware that the thread is going at breakneck speed and by the time I post there will be 20 new answers in the topic, but let's give it a try.Honestly after this Direct, I think they planned this all along.
I wasn't expecting them to be this clever, honestly, considering how terrible they've been at marketing in the past years.
I'll be a good sheep and get the expansion pass, as I said earlier I just hope they don't fuck it up.
I actually really like Kunfu and Urbshifu along with the new Regis personally, but Calyrx disturbs me on a level that I didn’t even know existed up until this point.Let's get this straight - the new mons might as well be the weirdest looking thing ever I've seen in Pokemon (and yes I am aware "someone will always claim the newer mons look awful", I said that myself). Even the legendaries are as if they are completely from the left field.
