For some reason, I didn't think they'd let you do this, but looks like GOTY confirmed.

New news out of nowhere Pokemon Worlds. No new Pokemon, but some new abilities and hold items that are pretty interesting as well as clarification on some secondary effects of Dynamax Moves.

Pokemon Battle Stadium

In Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield, you can connect to the internet and battle against Trainers from all over the world in the Battle Stadium. Features like Rental Teams and Online Competitions also allow for different ways to connect to other Pokémon Trainers.

In Ranked Battles, you can take on Pokémon Trainers from across the globe with a Battle Team you trained up, in an attempt to become the most powerful Trainer in the world! As the name implies, you will have a rank in Ranked Battles that indicates how strong you are as a Trainer. Your rank will change depending on the results of your battles! You’ll face Trainers of a similar rank, so your battles are sure to be challenging!

You can receive items by meeting certain criteria, such as battling multiple times in a row.

Rental Teams let you borrow Battle Teams easily by inputting IDs available online. You can use these rented Battle Teams in various different battles. You’ll also be able to make your own Battle Teams public to Pokémon Trainers all over the world!

You can use Rental Teams in Ranked Battles, too.

As Shantae gets caught up in the island’s sinister secrets, she’ll use all-new dance abilities and instant-transformation Fusion Magic to explore the nonlinear, interconnected world where she’ll visit multiple towns, overcome treacherous labyrinths, and battle dastardly bosses.

nonlinear, interconnected world

I really hope that means this game is like the older Shantae games instead of the more recent ones.

@capnbobamous It is definitely good but

I always hate a bait and switch, which this has already been guilty of.

Chat was absolutely terrible during the announcements,

I didn't see anything too terrible, although I'm sure there was bound to be afew upset people. Maybe I just focused in on the actual stream more like I sometimes do, but chat was mostly joking around when I saw them.
