Pokemon Sword And Shield.
Sword and Shield's concept planning began immediately following the completion of Pokémon Sun and Moon in 2016, while full production began a year later in September 2017. Like previous installments, they chronicle the journey of a young Pokémon trainer aiming to become the Pokémon Champion, this time in the new Galar region, which is based on the United Kingdom. The main objective of the games is to dethrone the Pokémon League Champion, Leon, in a tournament that various other Gym Leaders and rivals also take part in, whilst dealing with Team Yell and a nefarious conspiracy within the League. Sword and Shield introduce 81 new Pokémon alongside 13 regional forms of pre-existing Pokémon; Dynamaxing, which increases the size of Pokémon under certain conditions; Gigantamaxing, which additionally changes the form of certain Pokémon; and the Wild Area, which is a large, open-world area with free camera movement that contains co-op raid battles. The two games also reintroduce features previously seen in Sun and Moon and Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, such as regional forms and roaming Pokémon depicted in the overworld.
When the decision to not include all pre-existing Pokémon in Sword and Shield was announced, it was met with backlash from a segment of the fan community, resulting in a controversy known as "Dexit" and calls for a boycott months ahead of their release. Despite this, Sword and Shield received generally positive reviews from critics. Particular praise was aimed at the creature design, new features, and the emphasis on simplicity, player freedom, and streamlined encounters, although some criticized the game's smaller Pokédex and a perceived lack of polish or depth. By March 2021, Sword and Shield had sold more than 21 million copies worldwide, becoming one of the fastest-selling games on the Nintendo Switch, and are currently the fifth-best-selling games on the Switch.
Pokemon Sword And Shield Story
You, dear player, start your adventure in the sleepy village of Postwick, where you live with your mom. Your neighbor and best friend, Hop, has no problem rushing in and telling you that, soon, his big brother Leon will be home. Leon is kind of a big deal: he's the Champion of the Galar region, and the biggest celebrity of all the land. You were just watching one of his battles when Hop burst in, in fact.
A quick jog over to the local train station in Wedgehurst and you get to meet Leon in the flesh. He's happy to meet you, and even has presents for you and Hop: your choice of one of three starter Pokemon. Hop already has a trusty (and adorable) Wooloo, so you get first pick. Whichever Pokemon is left over becomes a part of Leon's team, training alongside his famous and powerful Charizard.
Hop is ready and raring to unseat his brother as Champion, and after proving your skills at battling Pokemon, Leon is willing to endorse both of you. This means that you can enter the annual Gym Challenge and test your mettle against eight mighty Gym leaders.
