The upcoming Pokemon games will be set in the Galar region, a new area of the Pokemon world that was inspired by the British Isles. Pokemon Sword and Shield will feature new Pokemon like Sobble, a Water-type lizard that's continuously anxious all the time, and Yamper, an Electric-type corgi. The game will also feature multiple new mechanics like Dynamaxing, which will turn your Pokemon into 100 foot tall behemoths for a limited amount of time. Some Pokemon can also Gigantamax, which transforms their body into a new gargantuan form and gives them access to special moves. The game will also feature Max Raids, which allow up to four players to battle against a Dynamax Pokemon in epic battles.

Pokemon Sword and Shield will be released on November 15th.
