Swoosh: Launch Date Update
Added 2020-01-09 17:30:03 +0000 UTCHey everyone!
We have some news to share.
Today Nintendo announced their plans for the Sword and Shield Expansion Pass. This is an optional paid upgrade to the Sword and Shield games and will include 200 new and familiar Pokemon.
Of course, we want our users to be able to create these Pokemon with Swoosh!
This is going to require more work on our end, as we weren’t expecting this announcement. It’s looking like Swoosh will not be ready to launch to our early access Patreon supporters in mid-January like we had planned.
Don't worry - we don't expect this to be a long delay at all! We just wanted to give everyone a heads-up that it most likely won't be ready exactly in mid-January.
This isn’t something that we would be able to update while the app is live. It needs to be done now or never!
We hope you understand! Thank you so much for your continued support. We are working day and night to get Swoosh up and running as soon as possible, and will keep you updated as soon as we have a new launch date!

We have messaged you with all the details for February! :)
2020-02-05 17:27:37 +0000 UTCHello, any news about the early access? a final date or something?
2020-02-05 09:58:25 +0000 UTCWe hope to release Swoosh to our early access Patreon supporters in February! Not too much longer now :)
2020-01-27 14:26:22 +0000 UTCAny updates as to when early access will be available?
2020-01-26 00:22:21 +0000 UTCHey Najee! We are still working on the app and hope to launch to our early-access Patreon supporters next month. We trade Pokemon to our Elite and Master tier patrons every month as part of their rewards, so the post you saw was referring to that! :)
2020-01-16 10:39:15 +0000 UTCHey i saw that you made a post on fb of you trading to a patreon. Does this mean it’s available now?
2020-01-15 18:11:39 +0000 UTCHey Teresa! Welcome! Thank you so much for supporting us. We have sent you a message - please check your Patreon inbox! :)
2020-01-15 10:49:25 +0000 UTCHello everyone! I’m new here and I just wanted to know if the gift of January is available or not for swoshi. Let me know soon!
2020-01-13 16:55:54 +0000 UTCNot at the moment, but we hope to have the full app ready for you very soon!
2020-01-13 09:57:48 +0000 UTCDo you guys have a Beta out at the moment? While we’re waiting for Crown and Armor?
2020-01-12 08:23:29 +0000 UTCWe hope you're not too disappointed! If it helps, we are working round the clock to ensure a hopefully very minimal delay!
2020-01-11 10:11:59 +0000 UTCThat's correct! I believe the expansion pack includes some new Pokemon too, so we want to include those in Swoosh!
2020-01-11 10:11:29 +0000 UTCThank you so much for understanding, Jonathan! We are working round the clock to ensure a hopefully very minimal delay. We feel much more prepared for the future now!
2020-01-11 10:10:59 +0000 UTCWe really appreciate your kind words! Thank you so much!
2020-01-11 10:09:59 +0000 UTCWe think we'll be prepared now!
2020-01-11 10:09:43 +0000 UTCThank you so much, Adam!
2020-01-11 10:09:11 +0000 UTCIt doesn't look like it will be an issue, and we expect it to only cause us a minor delay. Thank you so much for understanding!
2020-01-11 10:08:46 +0000 UTCThank you so much, Brandon!
2020-01-11 10:08:14 +0000 UTCThanks Charles! We are only expecting a very minimal delay!
2020-01-11 10:08:03 +0000 UTCSo I’m assuming that you originally had the app limited to just support the 400 Pokémon in Galar but are opening it to be able to somehow access any Pokémon that gets added into the game?
2020-01-11 08:51:19 +0000 UTCHm, if it pushes things back to February that is fine. Wouldn’t it be safe to code in all pokemon into the app just to be safe? (Easier said than done I imagine, plus I don’t know much about app coding). Obviously, the pokemon allowed will be limited to whatever the game allows us so that is understandable. I’m ok waiting until February!
2020-01-10 17:19:34 +0000 UTCTake your time! I’m sure I speak for everyone when I say that we appreciate your hard work on the app and look forward to its release! Can’t wait for that perfect shiny Dracovish though. 👀
2020-01-10 07:02:31 +0000 UTCThanks for the news take your time and looking forward to Swoosh!
2020-01-09 23:06:10 +0000 UTCMeh
2020-01-09 21:16:04 +0000 UTCSo there’s no massive issues adding all of those Pokémon? I also presume most of them won’t be able to be sent into the game from Swoosh till Pokemon Home is out. But if it won’t be long at all no rush. I have no issue waiting. With any luck it gives me something to look forward to in February.
2020-01-09 20:25:48 +0000 UTCTake your time! Thanks for all the hard work and can’t wait for Swoosh!
2020-01-09 18:56:11 +0000 UTCTbh, I was expecting this after the announcement, but as long as it’s out before or near to Pokémon homes release, I’m fine with that.
2020-01-09 18:39:46 +0000 UTCI totally understand. Thanks for the update.

2020-01-09 17:56:17 +0000 UTCHey Stephen! At the moment it looks like this should only add a couple of weeks at most to the process. We're hesitant to make any promises as we've only just learned the news, but we really don't see this as causing a huge delay!
2020-01-09 17:55:53 +0000 UTCSo are you meaning a feb or March release now? I mean the first expansion doesn’t come out until June, please don’t respond with the same response you’ve been giving everyone. Thanks!
