Swoosh: Launch Date Update

Hey 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! :)

Hello, any news about the early access? a final date or something?

We hope to release Swoosh to our early access Patreon supporters in February! Not too much longer now :)

Any updates as to when early access will be available?

Hey 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! :)

Hey i saw that you made a post on fb of you trading to a patreon. Does this mean it’s available now?

Hey Teresa! Welcome! Thank you so much for supporting us. We have sent you a message - please check your Patreon inbox! :)

Hello 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!

Not at the moment, but we hope to have the full app ready for you very soon!

Do you guys have a Beta out at the moment? While we’re waiting for Crown and Armor?

We hope you're not too disappointed! If it helps, we are working round the clock to ensure a hopefully very minimal delay!

That's correct! I believe the expansion pack includes some new Pokemon too, so we want to include those in Swoosh!

Thank 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!

We really appreciate your kind words! Thank you so much!

We think we'll be prepared now!

Thank you so much, Adam!

It 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!

Thank you so much, Brandon!

Thanks Charles! We are only expecting a very minimal delay!

So 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?

Hm, 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!

Take 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. 👀

Thanks for the news take your time and looking forward to Swoosh!

Meh

So 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.

Take your time! Thanks for all the hard work and can’t wait for Swoosh!

Tbh, 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.

I totally understand. Thanks for the update.

Hey 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!

So 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!

Stephen Richardson

We totally understand, Edward - we hate to disappoint anyone! If it helps, 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, but if everything goes well it should be finished shortly afterwards!

The update needs to be done now or never - it isn't something that we can do once the app is live. 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!

Cole, you are always so kind and understanding! We really appreciate it. And don't worry - we don't expect this to be a long delay at all! We just wanted to give everyone a heads-up 😊

Thank you Juan - we appreciate that!

Thank you so much!

Don't worry Joe - you won't need to wait anywhere near that long! The update needs to be done now as it won't be able to be done when the app is live. We don't expect this to be a long delay at all 😊

Don't worry Jonathan - you won't need to wait anywhere near that long! We don't expect this to be a long delay at all 😊

Not going to lie I rather have my limited mons now and then not have nothing at all. That just me being honest. Ya been super kind threw this process but I would be lying if I said I’m not disappointed

The expansion pass Pokémon should just be treated as a future update honestly, you can still release it while working for the expansion pass

I’d rather have an impartial app now then download a 2.0 version in six months than wait half a year with nothing

I’m fine waiting for SWOOSH until the final Sword/Shield update that comes out in the fall and I’m fine waiting until Christmas 2020 for the SWOOSH app. Keep up the good work guys, I shall continue to be a Patreon supporter of yours in the remaining months as well as into 2021. Can’t wait!

There’s no list of the pokemon that will be added in the expansions is there? Are we going to have to wait until June/Fall 2020 to get this app then?!

Take you’re time

No problem take your time :)
