Original: Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield have been hit with substantial leaks since Friday. Two weeks before the games officially launch, certain fans managed to get their hands on copies and have shared all sorts of information about creatures in the games. The leaks have continued over the past few hours with many new Pokemon, evolutions, Galarian and Gigantamax forms now being made known.
We’ve rounded up the latest set of leaks below. Once again, please turn away now if you’d prefer to go into your experience with Pokemon Sword/Shield without having been spoiled about new Pokemon that are included.

After the Switch debuted in 2017, it was no surprise to see surprise to see support for the 3DS wind down. The new console had quickly proved to be incredibly successful, and Nintendo needed to prepare a number of experiences for its latest platform. After Kirby’s Extra Epic Yarn this past March, that was pretty much it for the 3DS.
Had Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story + Bowser Jr.’s Journey sold better, perhaps 3DS could have seen a few additional games. Imran Khan, a former senior editor at Game Informer, claimed in a recent episode of the Kinda Funny Games Daily show that a new Fire Emblem remake was planned for the dedicated handheld – among other plans. Khan now speculates that we could see it on Switch instead.
Khan’s full words:
Listings on the eShops provide file sizes for a bunch of Switch games. These include The Grisaia Trilogy, Romancing SaGa 3, Jumanji: The Video Game, and more.

This week’s issue of Famitsu has shared a listing of the top 30 best-selling games in Japan for the month of September 2019. You can check out the full results below, including debut sales for Final Fantasy VIII Remastered. We also have debut digital sales for a bunch of games, including Dragon Quest XI S, Zelda: Link’s Awakening, Astral Chain, and more.
For the first time in the series, Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield will feature auto-saves. That may not seem like a big deal since it’s relatively simple, but it’s nice to see Game Freak finally implementing the feature.
Auto-save will regularly be running in the background while you play. If you happen to forget about saving manually or your system runs out of battery life before charging, you’ll be able to rest easy knowing that your important progress won’t be erased.
Speaking about the decision to include auto-saves this time around with Eurogamer Portugal, producer Junichi Masuda and director Shigeru Ohmori explained:
A new month rolled right on in this week. Now that we’re in November, we want to know what you’ve been playing.
