Wild Area of Galar in Pokémon Sword and Shield is full of vast expanses of nature and the untamed wilderness

The Pokémon Company and Nintendo are gearing up for the highly anticipated upcoming video games Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield, launching on November 15, 2019, exclusively for Nintendo Switch. The games are now available to pre-load via the Nintendo eShop in Japan, Korea, Europe and North America. The eShop listings confirm that the games do not support the save data backup feature, but hopefully it’ll eventually be added. If you pre-purchase either digital version of the game in Europe, you can receive 12 Quick Balls as a bonus or a free SteelBook.

Between its contemporary towns and cities, the Galar region is full of vast expanses of nature and the untamed wilderness of the Wild Area. 🌆🌲
