Pokemon Shield

Due to a number of leaks from the past week, all of the Pokemon in Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield have been revealed. In addition to returning creatures, we now know which ones will be returning as well.

A handy chart has been compiled showing all of the Pokemon cans can expect from the Galar Pokedex when playing through the adventure. You can find it below, but beware of spoilers of course.

Game Freak made it known earlier this year that not all Pokemon can be brought over to Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield. Based on early leaks, quite a number of creatures were cut. While some fans have held out hope that they’ll be added later on through opportunities such as updates, it sounds like that won’t be happening.

Speaking with Dutch site InsideGamer, producer Junichi Masuda made it clear that Game Freak isn’t planning on adding missing Pokemon from the Galar Pokedex at a later point. He also again pointed out how the upcoming Pokemon Home app can be used to collect and display Pokemon from past titles.

Masuda said:

A bit of new footage has come in showing off the Wild Area of Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield, where you can freely encounter Pokemon and meet up with others players. View the gameplay below.

Undertale creator Toby Fox first became involved with Game Freak after he composed some music for Little Town Hero. It turns out his contributions didn’t stop there, as he also made a track for Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield. You can listen to the tune here in case you missed it.

Fox has now written a piece on his involvement with the new Pokemon Switch games and how he ended up writing a bit of music there as well. Read his full message below.

As the name implies, past Pokemon games included the Exp. Share item so that members in the party not currently used in battle can earn experience. However, in Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield, Game Freak has done away with it entirely. All party members are now automatically given experience equally. Some fans were surprised by this since there’s no way of turning it off.

In an interview with Dutch site InsideGamer, director Shigeru Ohmori explained the move. He noted that most players had Exp. Share turned on, and those who want to train one Pokemon at a time can remove everyone else from the party.

Ohmori’s full words:

Nintendo is gearing up for the launch of Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield with a new North American commercial. View the advert below.

The Tetris 99 Pokémon Sword & Shield promotional event is now live until 06:59 UTC on November 11th. A special Tetris 99 Maximus Cup based on Pokémon Sword & Shield is now playable.
