Pokemon Sword & Pokemon Shield Now Available For Pre-Order For The Nintendo Switch

Nintendo

Nintendo just revealed the trailer for Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield for the Nintendo Switch earlier today, and it's set it in the Galar region. The three starter Pokemon for the games are Grookey, Scorbunny, and Sobble. Shortly after the trailer was released, major retailers have listed the upcoming Pokemon games on their websites so now, they're available for pre-order.

You can pre-order them on stores like Amazon, Best Buy, and GameStop. Their current retail price is $59.99 each, which is about the same as most new Nintendo Switch titles. According to the retailers, both Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield will be available on December 31, 2019. Hopefully, they will be released at an earlier date so fans can enjoy these games by the holidays.
