'Pokemon Sword & Shield Won't Let You Transfer Every Old Pokemon Over'
gamespot.com/articles/e3-2019-pokemon-sword-and-shield-wont-let-you-tran/1100-6467720/
It's not a temporary thing for this game like in past games, it's a deliberate decision. You'll only be able to transfer a limited number of Pokemon - ones that are already in the game. Mega Evolutions and Z-Moves are also gone, only Dynamaxing is in the game.
Very odd decision from them. They've already reused the same models over and over and they'd even future-proofed them which is why the 3DS games chugged a bit, so it shouldn't have taken that much more work - and they didn't say anything about patching it in... and historically they don't like patching stuff. And they called it a 'new direction' for them implying they haven't done this kind of thing before. We can even see the exact same models being used in Sword and Shield. Also they already implement banlists in tournaments to restrict usage of certain Pokemon which takes care of the balance problem.
And now any Pokemon that gets uploaded to Pokemon Home (released next year as an evolution to Pokemon Bank) will be trapped inside it if they're not in Sword & Shield. >.> Fans of those will have to hope their fave pops up in a newer game I guess. The internet's reception of this news isn't the best, to put it lightly.
Edit: Just adding a couple more things:
Nessa is the Water Gym Leader, who has a Drednaw.
Yamper(Electric) and Impidimp (Dark/Fairy) were also introduced.

During the Treehouse livestream, game producer Junichi Masuda revealed that not every previous Pokemon will be transferable to Sword and Shield. "Players will be able to transfer their Pokemon from Pokemon Home only if they appear in the Galar region Pokedex," Masuda said through an interpreter. What that means is that if a Pokemon isn't already obtainable within Sword and Shield, you won't be able to transfer it over from Pokemon Home.
Masuda acknowledged this is a change from how the previous Pokemon cloud service, Pokemon Bank, worked and explained the rationale behind this controversial decision:
"In previous games that worked with the Pokemon Bank service, you were able to--for example, in Sun and Moon--bring over any Pokemon, even if they weren't in the Alola Pokedex," Masuda said. "But with the transition to the Nintendo Switch hardware, being much more powerful [and] allowing us to be much more expressive with each of the individual Pokemon ... at Game Freak we really spent a lot of time thinking about what the best way to move forward was, really preserving the quality of all the different Pokemon while also taking into account the battle balance, having so many different Pokemon available, all within a limited development time so we don't keep fans waiting too long for every new entry in the series. And after a lot of discussion, we decided to come to a new direction."

Yeah it's a great one, hoping we get a 4th game eventually after the cliffhanger of the 3rd (Dark Dawn).

No spam links here but clearly the same bot/ad person replied to themselves. In time another would have responded with a scam link. This one was easy to get, just have to watch out for any members asking odd questions that are unrelated to feedism.

Dyavion: How do I find cheap flights?
Applepieinthesky: Use Skyscanner
Evakone: There are many sources where announcing cheap flights, for example, I joined some Telegram channels and keep track of all the latest news. Also, always get a quick visual of prices for a whole month and choose the cheapest day to fly out.

New Pokemon Direct for the games, click on the image below to watch:
The new legendaries are Zacian and Zamazenta. Some people noted that it looks like their names literally mean 'the cyan' and 'the magenta' which fit the version colour scheme too. They might be Steel/Water and Steel/Fire especially in the quick part where they glow in the trailer, the hilt of Zacian's blade gets a fish tail and Zamazenta's shield gets a heat aura.
The new gimmick in the games is Dynamax, which turns one of your Pokemon into a giant for 3 turns in battle, which also appears to boost all of their stats. All battles against Gym Leaders seem to be with both Pokemon in a Dynamax/giant form, and all Gym Battles are in stadiums. Dynamaxing is restricted to certain areas like Gym Battles and Raid Battles and presumably features in multiplayer.
Some wild Pokemon appear in giant form and you can take them on in a raid battle similar to Pokemon Go with up to 3 other players when connected online. Some Pokemon can only be caught with this method, and only one of the group can use their own giant Pokemon against them if they choose to use one.
There is a vast area between towns known as the 'Wild Area' which has free camera control. The Pokemon in this area can change depending on things such as the weather and location. Giant/Dynamax Pokemon can appear in these places for raids. For example, Steenee can be encountered when it is sunny and Lanturn when it is raining.
Professor Magnolia is researching Dynamaxing, and is assisted by her granddaughter Sonia.
Leon is the Champion, he appears to have a Charizard. He is undefeated and is quite popular. He's a childhood friend of Sonia.
Hop is one of your rivals and is Leon's brother.
Gossifleur (Grass), Wooloo (Normal) and Drednaw (Water/Rock) are some new Pokemon.
Corviknight (Flying/Steel) is another new Pokemon, and also acts as the new Fly ride Pokemon for this game which can take you to towns you have already visited.
Eldegoss (Grass) evolves from Gossifleur. Their Cotton Down ability lowers speed of whoever attacks them when struck.
Milo is the Grass-type Gym Leader for the Galar region, who uses a giant Eldegoss in battle.
You now have a Rotom Phone which also contains your Pokedex. You can also do other things with your Rotom Phone like attaching it to your bike to make it move faster on land, or use it to help you travel over water.
The official release date is November 15.

Flooded the shouts page with spam against hylia when she complained about someone still being able to pester her via shouts even after blocking them. Clearly it was him. She also reported him for stalking/etc. Have given him three days off and I've messaged her to find out more.
Also adding here that he already had a prior report on him for stalking that I'll add here where he was ordered to stay away from another woman:
Plus I'll add some other misbehaviour in his past where he apparently called another mod names (most likely Squish since she suspended him for the incident). Not certain about the other incidents since the older mod posts on him here are now lost.

Abuse report (1 day ago), from microwavedmarshmallow, about a comment
This person has repeatedly contacted me against my wishes. Made extremely rude comments that I've deleted and hoped they would just go away but they obsessively message me all day every hour or so.

Months or years I've been here for like 13 years now and thus guy always seems to find me on whatever fetish account I make. Hes messaged me here since I was a teenager to fetlife and feabie. When I delete and come back hes like always there. Its harmless because it's just comment spam but its also... very annoying because he wants us to meet real bad and he is 63 and that's not for me.
The blocking system here makes me nervous, I dont like that he can see everything I post and is able to comment on shouts directly.
