New Pokémon Sword and Shield info coming tonight
We’re exactly(ish) one month out from the launch of Pokémon Sword and Shield, and the Pokémon Company has been solidly consistent with its release of information. After the curious reveal of Sirfetch’d, and the agonising livestream that led to Galarian Ponyta, the next batch of info is set to release in (hopefully) a more normal way.
The Pokémon Company has announced that the next info drop for Pokémon Sword and Shield will take place later tonight, or extremely early tomorrow morning, depending on your time zone (thanks DST).
