Pokémon feels like a nostalgic adventure in a new coat
The Pokémon games take place this time in Galar, a region inspired by the United Kingdom. It's clear that the developer has looked mainly at the football frenzy, judging by the stadiums that resemble football arenas.

Pokémon Sword and Shield are the first games released for the Nintendo Switch, but visually there hasn't been much change compared to the Nintendo 3DS games. The game is sharper, of course, and has more impressive shadows, but the overall visual style still strongly resembles the handheld.

I do find the Wild Area to be the best addition to a Pokémon game ever, thanks to the unprecedented freedom and the countless hours you can spend there. Add to this the cool Raids that you can play with friends, and you have some delightful multiplayer fun. I do regret that it's (so far) not possible to catch and train all Pokémon. Despite the series' slogan 'Gotta Catch 'em All,' the National Dex has been cut.

The lack seems to be a problem mainly for professional players, who like to put together a varied team to participate in e-sports tournaments. It seems that Game Freak prefers to focus on the average player who plays through the game once, rather than the dedicated professional player.

Discover the new Galar region
Pokémon Sword & Shield take place in the Galar region. The Galar region is based on the United Kingdom.

The goal of Pokémon is to become the strongest Pokémon trainer. At the beginning of the game, you choose one of the three starter Pokémon and begin your adventure. You set out to defeat Leon, the Galar Champion, but before you can challenge him, you must prove yourself as a worthy opponent by defeating 8 Gym Leaders.

Along the way, you will meet various characters and, of course, a wide variety of Pokémon, including Legendaries.

In Pokémon Sword & Shield, the concept of Dynamaxing and Gigantamaxing has been added. For the first time, there is also a large Wild Area. With Dynamaxing, your Pokémon becomes huge and much stronger. This effect lasts for 3 turns before returning to its normal state. With Gigantamaxing, your Pokémon also grows in size, changes appearance, and becomes even stronger (not every Pokémon can Gigantamax).

The Wild Area is a vast expanse with different climates where you can encounter various Pokémon. In the Wild Area, you can also connect online or locally with other players and participate in (Max) Raid Battles together.

Meanwhile, DLC has been released: Isle of Armor and The Crown Tundra. The DLC adds two new areas to the game along with some new Pokémon. The DLC is separate from the main story.

I have played all the original Pokémon games for the Game Boy and then actually skipped all the DS/3DS games. So, Pokémon Sword was a fresh start for me. I found the story to be quite mediocre, and the characters didn't really appeal to me. There were few to no puzzles like in the old games, and the battles were all relatively easy.

However, I did enjoy the Wild Area as a nice addition, and I spent hours cycling around it. The game boasts beautiful graphics and animations. One downside for many players is the absence of the National Pokédex, meaning you can't literally catch all Pokémon. (Although there are still 400 different Pokémon in the game).

I have mixed feelings about the game. Despite finding it too easy, I still had a lot of fun with it and easily put in over 50 hours. I would definitely recommend it for Pokémon fans and also for new/young players.

The well-known Pokémon formula
This Pokémon game is simply some good old Pokémon, new Pokémon to get to know, and a new region with a new story.
Pokémon Sword does try something new with the Wild Areas. Here, Pokémon just roam around in the overworld.

In my opinion, the DLC Isle of Armor and the Crown Tundra are actually the best parts of the whole game. These regions are essentially very large Wild Areas.

Not quite for me
This is indeed a nice Pokémon game, but there's something missing for me in this game (which I didn't miss in the previous ones). The game is too focused on The Wild Area for my liking, which is a shame. Somehow, it doesn't feel quite complete. This doesn't take away from the fact that it can still be a fun game for people who have never played a Pokémon game before or for other Pokémon fans, but for me, it's really lacking something.

Pokémon formula with a little twist
Pokémon Sword and Shield follows the Pokémon formula that players are familiar with. Catching Pokémon and earning badges are central to the game.

This game is accessible to both new players and veterans. (As explanations about Pokémon types and catching Pokémon can be skipped.) It features an "open world" concept (similar to what we know from Zelda Breath of the Wild), where you can catch Pokémon and battle in both routes and the field. It's enjoyable that you can explore the open world to complete your Pokédex and bond with your Pokémon at camp.

Where the game fell a bit short for me is in the reduced Pokédex and relatively short storyline (so I recommend the DLC). This makes the 'Gotta Catch 'em All' feeling somewhat diminished and leaves you feeling a bit empty once you've completed the game. But hey, you can always work on filling your curry dex.

Overall, a fun game that I would recommend to others.

Historical Context


Pokémon Sword was released in November 2019 as part of the eighth generation of Pokémon games. This game brought a breath of fresh air to the franchise with the introduction of the Galar region, inspired by the United Kingdom. The game was a huge success leading to the release of expansion passes such as "The Isle of Armor" and "The Crown Tundra," introducing even more adventures and Pokémon. Pokémon Sword remains a beloved title among fans and has a lasting impact on the series.

In addition to Pokémon Sword, there is also Pokémon Shield, its counterpart containing exclusive Pokémon and Gym Leaders. For the avid collectors, special bundles have been available, including a Nintendo Switch console with a unique Pokémon Sword and Shield design.

Similar Games


If you enjoy Pokémon Sword, I also recommend trying out Pokémon Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon Let’s Go, Eevee! These games bring back the nostalgia of the original Pokémon Yellow with modern graphics and gameplay mechanics. Another recommendation is Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, remakes of the classic Sinnoh region games. Ordering safely at MarioSwitch.nl is always a good idea. Not satisfied?
