03:07Hello, I'm Masuda from Game Freak
03:11Hi, I'm Omori from Game Freak
03:14What did you think of the video?
03:18Today, we would like to deliver the latest news on Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield to all of you around
03:24the world
03:24right here from Game Freak's offices where development is underway
03:33You can take on the role of the main character, who resides in the Galar region
03:37After choosing Grookey, Scorbunny, or Sobble as your first partner Pokemon, you will embark on an adventure to become the
03:44champion
03:46Your journey will take you through vast and lush grasslands
03:49Towns in which you will find humans and Pokemon working together
03:52And many other locations filled with rich personality
03:58Pokemon battles are the most popular form of entertainment in the Galar region
04:04Stadiums across the Galar region are frequently filled with cheering crowds that have gathered to witness battles between gym leaders
04:10and challengers
04:13The excitement of these battles is often broadcast on television in the Galar region as well
04:20The most exciting part of visiting a new region is, of course, encountering Pokemon that you've never seen before
04:29To tell you more about some of the Pokemon that reside in the Galar region
04:32I'd like to hand it over to James, the art director on these games
04:36Hey, Jamie!
04:41Hello, I'm James Turner from Game Freak
04:44I worked as the art director for these games
04:48There are a lot of never-before-seen Pokemon that await you in the Galar region
04:52But allow me to introduce you to just a few of them
04:57The first Pokemon I'd like to show you is Wooloo
05:03This Pokemon's defining characteristic is its fluffy fur
05:07Which is treasured by weavers in a town in the Galar region
05:10Who use it to craft popular specialty goods
05:14This Pokemon here is Gossifleur
05:18The flowering Pokemon
05:21Gossifleur favours places with clean air and water
05:24And its pollen is said to have healing properties
05:27This next Pokemon is called Dreadnought
05:32The bite Pokemon
05:34The sharp and jagged edges of its jaw
05:37Allow it to bite off chunks of rock and iron
05:41Its vicious nature makes it a difficult Pokemon to tame
05:45For all but the most experienced trainers
05:49This Pokemon that can be seen flying steadily through the sky
05:54Is called Corviknight
05:57It puts its skills to use when working as a flying taxi
06:01Which will take the player back to any town he or she has previously visited
06:08As many of you already know
06:10Some Pokemon can evolve
06:13Changing their appearance and becoming stronger in the process
06:18Gossifleur is one of these Pokemon
06:22When Gossifleur evolves
06:29It becomes Eldegoss
06:33As you can see
06:34There are now small seeds scattered across its fuzzy head
06:39These seeds are said to promote growth in plants
06:43And can revitalize both people and Pokemon
06:48That's all I can show you this time
06:50There are lots more Pokemon living in the Gala region for you to discover
06:55Of course you can look forward to finding many Pokemon you are already familiar with
07:01I hope you are as excited as we are to encounter the amazing variety of Pokemon
07:06That inhabit the Gala region
07:19Meeting lots of Pokemon is one of the thrills of the adventure
07:24And where you will find the widest variety of Pokemon out of anywhere in the Gala region
07:28Is in a place called the Wild Area
07:32This wild area stretches between cities and is filled with abundant nature as far as the eye can see
07:38Different Pokemon can appear depending on where you are and what the weather is like
07:43Meaning there will be new discoveries for you each day
07:48Some of you may already have noticed
07:50But while adventuring through this area
07:52You have control over the camera
07:54Allowing you to better search for items and Pokemon
07:57Search far and wide in the tall grass
07:59In the skies above
08:01And even in the lakes
08:02For you never know what you might find
08:05In certain locations in the Gala region
08:08A new phenomenon can be triggered
08:10That makes a Pokemon giant in size
08:12And gives it incredible strength
08:14This phenomenon is called Dynamaxing
08:16Dynamaxing opens up new possibilities in the heated battles performed by trainers and their Pokemon
08:23For more details, I would like to turn it over to Iwao, the planning director for the games
08:37Hi, I'm Iwao from Game Freak and the planning director for Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield
08:44Let me tell you more about the new Dynamax feature
08:46Which will surely bring about all new strategies to Pokemon battles
08:53Pokemon from the Gala region can Dynamax to not only become massive in size
08:57But also boost their power
09:04All the moves they know turn into powerful Max moves
09:12Dynamaxing can be used once per battle
09:15However, the Pokemon will revert to normal after 3 turns
09:20So, you need to choose wisely when to trigger it
09:25Mastering Dynamax will be key to becoming a full-fledged Pokemon Trainer in these games
09:31Remember that wild area we told you about?
09:33If you connect to other players, you'll find more ways to play there
09:39One of these new multiplayer features is called Max Raid Battles
09:43In which 4 Pokemon Trainers can join forces to challenge wild Dynamax Pokemon
09:51In Max Raid Battles, the wild Dynamax Pokemon keeps its giant form for the entire battle
09:57Not only that, it also has special powers that make it an extremely formidable opponent
10:03Only one of these 4 players who have teamed up for the Max Raid battle
10:07Will be able to Dynamax their Pokemon in each battle
10:09So coordinating with your team will be crucial when taking on these powerful wild Pokemon
10:17If you and your allies manage to emerge victorious, you will get a chance to capture the Pokemon in a
10:23truly dynamic catch cycle
10:27The Pokemon that you can take on in Max Raid Battles also vary depending on where you are in the
10:32wild area and the state of the weather
10:35Among these different Pokemon are some that can only be caught after you defeat them in Max Raid Battles
10:40So we hope Trainers will join forces and test their skills against a variety of Pokemon
10:48Max Raid Battles feature strategic cooperative 4 player gameplay against a single Pokemon
10:53Which is a first for the main series of Pokemon games
11:00It's going to be a ton of fun to use your Nintendo Switch system's local wireless functionality to tackle these
11:05battles with friends in person and experience the excitement together
11:09You can also connect with other players over the internet to enjoy playing with other Trainers from all around the
11:15globe
11:16So I hope you'll try Max Raid Battles with all sorts of other players
11:27Next I would like to introduce some of the people you'll encounter on your adventure
11:33This guy is the greatest trainer in the Galar region and also the current champion
11:38His name is Leon
11:40In a region where Pokemon battles are so widely enjoyed
11:44His undefeated record in official matches is all the more incredible
11:48His popularity is only enhanced by his shining personality
11:52Winning him the adoration of Trainers across the region
11:56It's no exaggeration to say that he is the most prominent trainer in all of Galar
12:02The champion has a younger brother who also happens to be one of your rivals
12:07His name is Hop
12:09Hop dreams to one day become champion just like his elder brother
12:13And he trains vigorously every day towards this goal
12:18His journey through the Galar region begins on the same day as yours
12:25On your journey you and Hop will receive a great deal of support from these two characters
12:31Professor Magnolia is the professor of the Galar region and specializes in researching the Dynamax phenomenon
12:38Sonia is her granddaughter and also serves as her assistant
12:41Their abundant wisdom and sound advice will surely come in handy throughout your adventure
12:57Next I would like to talk about the Pokemon gyms in the Galar region
13:02You and your rival will need to take on the Pokemon gyms throughout the region
13:06In order to achieve your goal of becoming champion
13:10These gym stadiums are constructed in very special locations that allow for Pokemon to be Dynamax
13:17The gym leaders also have extremely powerful Dynamax Pokemon on their teams
13:22So you will need to counter them with some of your own
13:29Battles between two Dynamax Pokemon are explosive
13:32And will cause the energy and excitement in the stadium to reach its peak
13:40Let me introduce one of the gym leaders to you
13:43This is the grass type expert Milo
13:47This gym leader is all about enjoying battles alongside his trustworthy Pokemon
13:51And you will have to overcome his tenacious fighting style to continue your journey
13:59Look forward to facing many more heated battles against gym leaders over the course of your adventure
