10 Features Pokémon Sword & Shield Desperately Needs

This one is definitely a smaller addition, but it would be a universally popular feature and would surely be much more simple than a New Game+ mode. While adding a replay feature while keeping certain elements of the first run poses difficulties, having Pokémon follow you seems fairly straightforward.

Various games had used the following feature before, but it wasn't consistently available. Besides, it didn't really garner much interest or headlines until the superior graphics of the Switch, and as such there wasn't really much demand for it.

However, with Let’s Go bringing in more casual players chasing a nostalgia buzz, the potential player base just got even larger than usual. Pokémon following trainers was a huge draw there, so surely it’s coming back.

With Sword and Shield certain to include some fan favourite Pokémon from the first seven generations plus a completely new set, there’s even more to feast our eyes on.

Riding a Tyranitar or a Garchomp would be absolutely amazing, and there’s so many cool looking creatures to see roaming around too. Hopefully there’ll be no more awkward bobbing along like Starmie waddling on land though.
