Pokemon Sword/Shield lets you skip the catching tutorial
Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Pokemon has been around for awhile, and many fans have been playing the series for a long time now. Thankfully, seasoned veterans won’t be forced into experiencing the catching tutorial this time around.
Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield starts off with choosing your starter. After this, you need to talk to your mother who gives you some money and five Poke Balls. Venture out a bit and you’ll then be able to encounter and catch Pokemon.
The next step is meeting rival Hop as well as his brother Leon, the Galar Champion and the person who teaches you how to catch Pokemon. However, if you’ve already caught a Pokemon, Leon will instead comments about how you’ve already captured some before moving on to the next topic of conversation.

In a preview today, Metro says that a Pokemon Company representative on hand for its play session estimated was about the size of two regions from Zelda: Breath of the Wild. As previously mentioned, you have full control of the camera, and can encounter a variety of Pokemon – some of which may be of much higher level than where you’re currently at.

Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield are introducing the Wild Area. The free-roaming environment lets players explore 3D landscape with complete camera control. You’ll run into many kinds of Pokemon here, some of which could cause a whole lot of trouble.
Much like with Xenoblade, it will now be possible to run into “drastically overleveled” Pokemon, Eurogamer reports. That means you could be early on in the story, only to encounter a creature at level 50. This is the first time Pokemon has really explored such gameplay design.
