A major change in the eighth generation compared to previous ones is that Pokémon and forms are introduced via game patches instead of exclusively through new games.
Design and development
Development of Pokémon Sword and Shield began in 2016, immediately following the development period of Pokémon Sun and Moon. The conceptual phase lasted approximately a year and the debugging process continued into 2019.[1] With the Galar region based on Great Britain, some of the native Pokémon draw inspiration from British fauna, folklore, and mythology. The legendary Pokémon Zacian and Zamazenta are wolf-like creatures, drawing inspiration from wolves that frequently appear in British mythology.[2] Design of the starter Pokémon revolved around the area in which they would be encountered by the player character.[1]
Through its lifetime, new Pokémon and forms have been added to the generation through game patches. On January 9, 2020 with Sword and Shield patch 1.1.0, Galarian Slowpoke was added to the game.[3] In June 2020, legendary Pokémon Kubfu and Urshifu are planned to be added, followed by Calyrex in fall 2020.[4]
