Pokemon SwordandShieldwill finally be out next month, but there’s still a lot we don’t know about the new games. Luckily for fans, more information onPokemon SwordandShieldseems to come out each day, and now we even know the the games' file size.
Thanks toPokemon SwordandShielddownload cards being sold in Japan, we know that the games will be 10.3GB. Those who have yet to upgrade their Nintendo Switch storage may be a little apprehensive about thePokemon SwordandShieldfile size, especially if they plan on getting both games, but otherwise the size shouldn’t be too bad. Anyone concerned about storage should consider picking up the physical versions ofPokemon SwordandShield.

Something else revealed by thePokemon SwordandShielddownload cards is the return of two Pokemon. It appears Gothita and Turtonator will be both be available in the games, though it’s unclear if they will be exclusive to one game or the other. Not a lot of version-exclusive Pokemon have been revealed forPokemon SwordandShieldso far, but we do know that theFarfetch’d evolution Sirfetch’d is exclusive toSword, whereas Galarian Ponyta is exclusive toShield.
When it comes to things that have yet to be revealed aboutPokemon SwordandShield, the biggest is easily the starter Pokemon evolutions. We still don’t know anything official about thePokemon SwordandShieldstarter evolutions, and at this point, it’s looking like Nintendo may keep them secret until the games launch.
While Nintendo hasn’t revealed anything official about thePokemon SwordandShieldstarter evolutions, a leak has at least given us an idea what to expect from them. According to the leak, Sobble’s evolution line will have a spy theme andevolve into a Pokemon named Intelleon, whereas Grookey will evolve into a giant gorilla with a drum. Scorbunny will reportedly be a pure fire-type, but will resemble a humanoid and be named Raboot.
ThePokemon SwordandShieldstarter evolution leak included other leaks that have since been proven true by Nintendo, so it seems more likely than not that the starter evolutions are accurate as well. Perhaps the first official images of them will become available in some roundabout way similar to how we learn thePokemon SwordandShieldfile size.
