Pokemon Sword

On social media, The Pokemon Company has announced that it will have more news to share on Pokemon Sword/Shield this week. New information will drop on August 7.

Look for a trailer (and more) at the following times:

Hello my lovely left and right Joy-con! Are you stable or are you drifting? In this NEP, we talk logical about the hardware problems that are on the tip of everyone’s tongues to kick things off. We then hit you with fast paced news and some unintentionally analytical chats about games reviews and journalism. Then we cover Pokemon Masters, but we’re both kinda burnt out on Pokemon mobile efforts… But we have plenty of energy as we chew through all our lovely listener mails and tell the abridged story of when Oni met Galen. We hope you enjoy!

The best way to support our show is to give us a 5 star review on iTunes, so we would appreciate if you could help us grow! We really appreciate all your support and thank you so much for listening!

GameStop has announced an exclusive pre-order bonus for the Pokemon Sword/Shield Double Pack. If you reserve the game, you’ll receive the double-sided wall banner.

You can pre-order the Pokemon Sword/Shield Double Pack on GameStop’s website here. Note that quantities are said to be limited. 

Hello my beautiful Superheroes and X-Men! Steel yourself for an intense NEP experience! Oni and Galen are on opposite sides of the fence as they engage in some very heated discussions this episode. We’re talkin’ Fire Emblem, Pokemon and the Pokedex controversy, Switch future with Breath of The Wild 2. It’s a lot to take in, but we hope you enjoy!

Hello my beautiful Popos and Nanas! Oni and Galen have a great discussion overall, in our most intimate episode of NEP yet. We talk localization and well-written characters in fiction, the pros and cons of the Switch Lite (and what this could mean for a future “Pro” variant), Dr. Mario and how different in design it is, and we tie things up with a discussion of Fire Emblem and LGBTQ+ representation in media and video games. We hope you enjoy.

UK retailer ShopTo has announced a pre-order bonus for Pokemon Sword/Shield. By reserving the game, you’ll receive the tracksuit outfits pictured above. It’s unclear if there are similar plans for North America at this time.

The tracksuit DLC isn’t the only bonus ShopTo has planned. The retailer is also giving out steelbooks for the individual games, and if you order the steelbook dual edition, you’ll receive a figurine.

Here’s a look:
