Story
Pokémon Sword and Shield are set in the Galar region. The games star a young Pokémon Trainer who sets off on a journey to become Champion.[3] The game features a new feature known as "Dynamax", where Pokémon can become huge and much stronger, and many other improvements, though there are removal of other features.
Some Pokémon and moves were removed from the previous games and cannot be used in these games.
Development
The Pokémon Company CEO Tsunekazu Ishihara announced that a core Pokémon installment was in development for Nintendo Switch during Nintendo's E3 2017 presentation. He would state, however, that it may not be released until 2018 at the earliest.[1] During a Pokémon press conference in May 2018, it was announced that the title was planned to release in late 2019.[4] The titles were fully revealed as Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield during a Pokémon Direct in February 2019.[3]
