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.
