Gengar!
The Pokemon Company just dropped a Japanese trailer forPokemon Sword & Shield, and it’s basically an apology tourfor the lack of a National Pokedex, if almost to say: “look at all of the classicPokemonthat are coming back!”
While most of theSword & Shieldfootage has been heavy on the new ‘mons, and for good reason, this one showcases a ton of old characters that won’t be left behind. The minute long clip is a breezy watch, and no doubt many eagle-eyed fans will want to pause it and take in some of the breezier parts (a few show up for half a second on-screen!).
Pokemon Sword & Shieldis still slated for a November 15 release date exclusively on Switch, and Nintendo is pushing it hard with a special edition Switch Lite. We should have seen the Lite announcement coming, asPokemonis one of their cash cows, though I wonder if it’ll topthe ten million plus sellersofPokemon Let’s Go, Breath of the Wild, Smash Ultimate, Mario Odyssey,andMario Kart 8 Deluxein a reasonable amount of time.
