Hello, my Fatal Cuties! This week on NEP, we got hit with some Pokemon leaks while recording, but we keep our reactions spoiler-free. We chat some great games we’ve been playing with Atelier Ryza, Luigi’s Mansion and more, then we muse on 3DS games we’d like to see make the jump to Switch. Somehow, we end up arguing with each other over Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask. How. How even did that happen. Come have a chill game time with us.

If you’re enjoying NEP, please consider giving us a 5 star review on Apple Podcasts, aka new iTunes. It’s incredibly helpful in getting us exposed to new listeners through algorithms, so we would greatly appreciate your help. Thank you for listening!

This week, the podcast is sponsored by Koei Tecmo. Check out Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout, out now on Nintendo Switch.

Update: Added Scorbunny’s second evolution and a better look at its final evolution.

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.

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.

Here’s the full roundup:

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:

Update 3: Due to the information that has emerged since November 1, we are removing the rumor tag.

Update 2: Sobble’s final evolution may also have now leaked, which we’ve added in below. Again, note that this is not confirmed currently.

Update: We have a quick update here, as Grookie’s final evolution has apparently leaked now as well. We’ve added that to the gallery below and have included two more images.

Original: Hot on the heels of supposed leaks showing starter evolutions for Grookie and Sobble, another batch of images for Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield have apparently found their way online. The latest images show several previously-unannounced creatures.

We’ve posted the full set below. Once again, we’ll warn folks not to proceed past this point if they’re looking to avoid spoilers.

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.

Undertale creator Toby Fox recently worked on the soundtrack for Gamefreak’s Little Town Hero. Today, he announced that he collaborated with Gamefreak once again – but this time, on something a bit bigger. He composed one of the tracks in Pokemon Sword & Shield. We don’t know yet which track he worked on, and Toby Fox himself says it wasn’t “one of the main tracks or anything”. Pokemon Sword & Shield are out in two weeks, on November 15.
