Ramping up for release

With Pokémon Sword and Shield’s November release date around just around the corner, developer Game Freak seems to have started ramping up the promotions. The above trailer, while a bit on the short end is a joy to watch.

In a recent interview Pokemon Sword and Shield producer Junichi Masuda said the decision to limit the upcoming Pokedex was a combination of limited resources and differing creative ambitions;0

In any design situation, resources and time are always a constraint on what you can do in a project. But at the same time from a creative perspective, it’s part of a discussion we’ve had at Game Freak with Nintendo and The Pokémon Company, and we came to the decision that, at some point, we need to be able to prioritize new gameplay ideas.

We need to be able to find a way to balance the right number of Pokémon and also still introduce new ways for players to enjoy the game, new gameplay ideas to keep the series fresh and enjoyable far into the future

Well I for one am looking forward to November 15th … time to gotta catch em all … again!
