Off to new adventures: All information about Pokémon direct 2020 from Nintendo

Nintendo lets the cat out of the poke - or the Pokémon out of the Poké Ball. In the latest presentation, The Pokémon Company and Game Freak reveal what is currently being tinkered with. As expected, there was an expansion pass for Pokémon Sword & Shield on the one hand, and a new edition of the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon - Rescue Team DX, which was launched in 2006, on the other.

On a tour of discovery in the Galar region

The biggest announcement of course concerned Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield, which were released in November 2019 Nintendo Switch appeared. Many players have already mastered the game and become the number 1 trainer or have collected and developed all 400 Pokémon.

New food will be available from summer 2020 in the form of an expansion pass. Part 1 covers "The Isle of Armor", Part 2 takes us to "The Tundra of the Crown". In both areas there will be new fights, characters and items. Among other things, those with which you can change the appearance of your avatar or bike. We also meet new legendary Pokémon and Pokémon that could not be caught in the previous game - these also differ in the expansion pass, depending on whether you own the shield or sword version of the game.

Update and pre-order now in the Nintendo eShop

An update of the game went online immediately after the presentation. With this it is later possible to exchange Pokémon from the expansion pass with friends without owning them. It is already downloadable and it brings a little new storyline with it: if the player goes to Brassbury train station after the update he will meet one of the new characters from the expansion pass. In addition, you then have the opportunity to catch a Galar Flegmon. However, it can only develop into a Galar lame with an item from the armor island and into a Galar lazy king with an item from the snow lands.

The pass is also available for pre-order now. Those who treat themselves to the fun for €29,99 will receive an outfit inspired by Pokémon Let's Go Eevee or Let's Go Pikachu, which can be used immediately. The expansion content will be available at the end of June 2020 (Part 1 – "Armor of the Isle") and in fall 2020 (Part 2 – "The Crown Tundra"). Further information about the Expansion Pass can be found on the official website. Pokémon Sword & Shield website.
