Get your first look at a gorgeous new town in Pokémon Sword and Shield

It's so pretty

It’s Gamescom, a week-long festival of news drops and new info, and Nintendo’s going to be providing all sorts of interesting titbits throughout the week.

First up is Pokémon Sword and Shield, where game director Shigeru Ohmori has taken us on a tour of an absolutely gorgeous early-game town in the region of Galar. The trailer shows off the town’s train station, noted as a way to get around the region, the Professor’s laboratory, the newly-designed Pokémon Centre, and much more. Most of all, it just looks pretty, take a look for yourself.

We’ll be sure to keep you updated on any further news from Gamescom this week.
