Release date: November 15, 2019

Game Freak's best-known series officially enters Generation 8 now we know Pokemon Switch is called Pokemon Sword and Shield, the second set of mainline games on the Nintendo Switch after Pokemon Let's Go Eevee and Pikachu. The catch-'em-all, Gym-battling adventure takes place in the region of Galar this time around, which resembles modern-day England with its sprawling, picturesque countryside, contemporary city, and snowy villages. We're already having the most difficult time choosing between the three Pokemon Gen 8 starters, but social media seems to be quite taken with Sobble, the timid Water Lizard type.
