The folks at Game Informer recently made a trip to Game Freak’s Tokyo headquarters for this month’s cover story, which happens to be Pokémon Sword and Shield. They had a chance to chat with the game’s director, producer, planning director and art director, picking their brains on the direction of the series and what they hope to accomplish with the upcoming Nintendo Switch titles. Among the topics discussed include Max Raid Battles, The Game Informer Show, the new autosave feature, controversy surrounding the National Pokédex, the decision to exclude HMs, a twist to the Exp. Share item, competitive mechanics and certain elements that are no longer exclusive to breeding.
