Game Freak on why Pokemon is finally implementing auto-saves with Sword and Shield

Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments

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:

Update 2: These images have now been removed due to a request from The Pokemon Company.

Update: Due to the information that has emerged since November 1, we are removing the rumor tag.

Original: It’s been a busy past 24 hours for Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield leaks. After starter evolutions for Grookie and Sobble were posted online, another set of leaks revealed new Pokemon.

Unsurprinsgly, the leaks haven’t stopped there. A large set of images, mostly coming from the official guide, have revealed new Gigantamax forms. We also have a look at more new Pokemon as well as Scorbunny’s supposed final evolution.

No difficulty options in Pokemon Sword/Shield, some support for Poke Ball Plus

Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments

Difficulty options have never really been associated with the Pokemon games. Pokemon Black 2/White 2 did give the idea a shot with its Key System feature, but generally speaking, the series has usually implemented just one type of experience.

As expected, Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield continue this tradition. Game Freak’s Junichi Masuda and Shigeru Ohmori told Eurogamer Portugal that the two Switch games don’t have a particular option to change the difficulty. The developers said:

Grookey and Sobble evolutions leaked for Pokemon Sword/Shield

Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Switch | 0 comments

The Pokemon series is no stranger to leaks. It always seems that with each entry, news about the game comes online prior to release and official reveal. With two weeks to go until Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield’s launch, leaks for the Switch titles could be starting already.

We’re obviously about to go into some sensitive territory here. If you don’t want to be spoiled in any way, please turn away now.
