Nintendo, Game Freak and the Pokemon Company have announced that Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield are both available today, in stores and on the eshop and will let players explore an all new region in Galar.

Along with a host of new Pokemon, so classics are also making an appearance in the region, complete with new looks and abilities. In addition players will be able to Dynamax their Pokemon in battles, turning them into massive powerful versions of their normal selves.

As always, there are some Pokemon that you can only get in Sword and some in Shield, so trading is the only way you can catch them all.
