pokemon sword and shield

You may have heard that, for the first time ever in the mainline series, Pokemon Sword and Shield will contain LESS Pokemon than the previous release, Sun and Moon. Fans are furious about the prospect that their favorite could be left out, and that some Pokemon from previous games could be nontransferable. Their outrage is hard to miss — it’s all over the Internet. It HAS reached Junichi Masuda, producer and lead designer of Sword and Shield. Will he be reversing course as a result of demand? Uh, not really. Masuda is sticking to his guns on this one; read his full letter below. Thank you to all of our fans for caring so deeply about Pokémon. Recently, I shared the news that some Pokémon cannot be transferred to Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield. I’ve read all your comments and appreciate your love and passion for Pokémon. Just like all of you, we are passionate about Pokémon and each and every one of them is very important to us. After
