Pokémon Sword & Shield: 7 Reasons To Be HYPED

Not long now.

We are fast approaching November 15th, a date that has been in the minds of Pokemon fans ever since it was announced on June 5th.

However, what that releases have shown us is reason enough to be extremely excited for what's to come. We've still not been introduced to the evolution lines for our adorable new starters, nor has there been an overflow of Galarian Pokémon or Galarian forms for returning Pokémon. This is only a positive, as it allows for exploration whilst not knowing what may be in the next patch of tall grass or flying overhead in the Wild Area.

The new Pokémon we have been allowed to feast our eyes upon have certainly not done anything to reduce the excitement this game has been generating. From our adorable new fluff ball that is Wooloo to the ever-present and energetic Scorbunny, and not forgetting our lovely new mascot for Britain in Pokémon form, Polteageist.

There is plenty that this game is doing to maintain and amplify the hype, and with that in mind, what better way to increase the hype than dive in on new features and details?

Why should you be excited? Well...

7. The Amount Of Information Left To Find For Ourselves In-Game

This has been a game shrouded in mystery compared to others that have come before. We are still yet to find out who our adorable new Starters will evolve into as well as what many of the areas of the Wild Area so much as look like, let alone what new or returning Pokémon could inhabit them.

Whilst, recently, there have been many 'leaks' of information they have not been confirmed and, if you pride yourself on being a Pokémon purist, there is still heaps to discover as you explore.

Whether it’s discovering your favourite Pokémon of all time survived the cut and you can use it alongside your favourite newcomers or building a whole team of brand new Galarian Pokémon which have been kept secret since June this game will have plenty to discover and sink your teeth into that we have not been shown.
