Pokemon enters Generation 8 with 'Pokemon Sword and Shield'

Welp, the madmen did it. Today during a special Nintendo Direct, the publisher unveiled the eight generation of Pokémon: Sword and Shield.

While keeping things mostly vague (as to dole out drip-fed information via CoroCoro, E3 and various Directs), we did get some in-game footage and a bit of data. It'll be in a new region (Galar) with "never before seen Pokémon," and naturally, will arrive on the Switch. You can check out all three starters (Grookey, Scorbunny and Sobble) below. They're still slated for a 'late 2019' release and there is "plenty in the works for the brand" for the year.

Yep, this sure is a mainline Pokémon on Switch. I'm game, even if the Galar region isn't as immediately as enticing as say, Alola.
