What has been revealed so far about Pokemon Sword/Shield!

Much has been unleashed about this soon to be released title. Now, with this gameplay video, we have all the proof we need to see that this game is the remake that we have been waiting for. The bike is back and better than ever, now having the ability to instantly transform into a water vehicle!

If that’s not cool enough, you can now also see all the Pokemon that would have been hidden in the classic games, giving you the ability to choose whether or not to engage a wild. This comes as part of the grand package included as some of the quality of life improvements.

There has also been word that you will be able to heal your crew at the opening of the gym, instead of having to return to the Poke Center as a result of blackout. All of these new features have been implemented to streamline the gameplay, and make the game more immersive.
