The beginning of eighth generation of Pokémon games, to see worldwide release on November 15, 2019.

So far, it is known that the games take place in the Galar region, based roughly on the United Kingdom (especially Scotland). In terms of design, it is more similar to Pokémon X and Y, leading some to assume that there is a connection between the two games.

More controversially, it was revealed in June 2019 that some Pokémon from older games will not be present in the new games: exactly which ones are not known, however. There is also a new feature called 'Dynamax' which enables a given Pokémon to increase greatly in size and power, but only in a certain area, and the previous features of Mega Evolution and Z-Moves are no longer included.

For these reasons, the opinion of fans as of now on the game is mixed.

Tropes used in Pokémon Sword and Shield include:
    • Averted. Ya can make vegetarian expies of those curry recipes, involving berries and other non-Pokemon ingredients.
  • No Export for You: An in universe example, Dynamaxing (and by extension, Gigantamax) is a phenomenon that's only exclusive to Pokemons found in the Galar region.
  • Precious Puppies: Yamper
  • Scenery Porn
  • Socialization Bonus: While camping, one can socialize with other real life trainers and their pokemon.
  • Rivals Team Up: In real life, gamers can connect online just to take down a wild Gigantamax pokemon.
  • There Are No Tents: Averted. One can set up a tent and camp in the Galar wilderness, play with their team, and eat. It's even encouraged to meet other trainers whilst resting.
