Pokemon Sword and Shield
Hello Everyone,
If you are a fan of Pokemon, you should give a try to Pokemon Sword and Shield.
Pokemon Sword and Shield are role-playing video games with adventure elements,and in most cases it is presented in a fixed camera, third-person perspective; in certain instances free camera movement is available.
The player controls a young trainer who goes on a quest to catch and train creatures known as Pokemon, and win battles against other trainers.
By defeating opposing Pokémon in turn-based battles, the player's Pokemon gains experience, allowing them to level up and increase their battle statistics, learn new battle techniques, and in some cases, evolve into more powerful Pokémon.
Players can capture wild Pokemon, found during wild encounters, by weakening them in battle and catching them with Poke Balls, allowing them to be added to their party.
Players are also able to battle and trade Pokemon with other human players using the Nintendo Switch connectivity features.
As with previous games in the series, certain Pokemon are only obtainable in either Sword or Shield, with players encouraged to trade with others in order to obtain all Pokemon from both versions.
Sword and Shield takes place in the Galar region, based on the United Kingdom.
As with all regions, Galar consists of a number of cities and towns connected by Routes; however, there is also an open world area in the center of the region known as the Wild Area, a concept new to the series.
Random encounters with wild Pokemon may take place in tall grass or in bodies of water along routes or in the Wild Area.
Wild Pokemon may also be encountered outside of tall grass and elsewhere in the environment, and may chase or run away from the player depending on their disposition.
The player occasionally battles Trainers in cities, towns, along routes, and in the Wild Area.
The driving force bringing the player to travel around the Galar region is to take part in the Gym Challenge, an open-tournament to decide the greatest Pokemon Trainer in the region, dubbed the Champion.
Eight of the game's cities and towns are homes to stadiums housing Gym Leaders, powerful Trainers specializing in certain types of Pokemon; beating a Gym Leader gives the player a Badge.
After attaining eight Badges the player will be able to take part in the Champion Cup, where they will face off in a single-elimination tournament against the previously faced Gym Leaders and other Trainers remaining in the Gym Challenge. After emerging victorious the player will face the Champion of the Galar region.
Several new features for the games are also firsts for the series, including cooperative raid encounters, akin to those seen in Pokemon Go; the Wild Area, a fully explorable open world area with free camera movement and dynamic weather, which has implications on which Pokemon species appear at a given time; and Dynamaxing and
Gigantamaxing, both of which temporarily allow Pokemon to grow to larger sizes.
Gigantamaxing is limited to select Pokemon and feature different forms from the Pokemon's normal appearance.
A new mechanic called Poke Jobs tasks the player's Pokemon with completing requests, such as assisting in construction or cooking, to gain experience or rare items.
In addition, Pokemon native to the game's region can be transferred to the games from the Nintendo 3DS app Pokemon Bank, Pokémon Go, and Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! via the Pokémon Home service.
Pokemon Gyms make a return after being absent in Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon.
As is typical with the series, the two games have version-exclusive content, such as available Pokemon and, for the first time, Gym Leaders.
Some features from previous entries, such as Mega Evolution and Z-Moves, are absent from the games.
A new Camp mode allows the player to interact and play with their Pokemon and cook different types of curry to provide bonuses for Pokemon.
New customization options for the player character have been added, like outerwear and other accessories.
In most instances, the PC box can be accessed outside of Pokémon Centers, except when inside Gyms.
