What Pokemon Series Comes Out After Sun And Moon
So, you've conquered Alola, become best buds with your Pokemon, and maybe even caught a legendary or two. You're riding high on the tropical vibes of Sun and Moon. But what's next? Where does the Pokemon train go after paradise?
Welcome to the Galar Region!
The answer, my friend, is Pokemon Sword and Shield! Prepare to swap your Hawaiian shirts for something a bit more...British-inspired. We’re talking rolling green hills, charming villages, and a whole lot of sheep. Seriously, the sheep are everywhere. They're like the Pidgey of Galar.
Imagine a Pokemon world mashed up with a touch of Hogwarts. That's Galar in a nutshell. Instead of sunshine and beaches, we've got a region steeped in history and a love for (wait for it) Pokemon battling as a sport!
Gigantamaxing: Pokemon Get HUGE!
Forget Mega Evolution, Sword and Shield introduced something even crazier: Gigantamaxing. This isn't just about powering up. It’s about Pokemon getting absolutely enormous, like Godzilla-sized enormous. Picture your normally cute Pikachu becoming a fluffy, electrically charged blimp. It’s both terrifying and hilarious.
Some Pokemon get whole new forms with Gigantamaxing. Pikachu, for example, goes back to its original, chunkier design! Suddenly, everyone was scrambling to find a Gigantamax Pikachu, proving that nostalgia sells, even in the Pokemon world.
The Wild Area: Explore at Your Own Pace!
One of the coolest things about Sword and Shield is the Wild Area. It’s a huge, open zone where you can wander around, catch different Pokemon depending on the weather, and team up with other trainers for Max Raid Battles. Think of it as a massive Pokemon safari, where you can bump into anything from a tiny Sizzlipede to a giant Steelix.
The Wild Area changes constantly. One day it's sunny, the next it's raining cats and (presumably) Growlithe. Each weather condition attracts different Pokemon, so you’re always kept on your toes. It keeps things fresh and exciting, encouraging you to keep exploring.
Rivals with a Twist
Your rivals in Galar are a bit…different. You've got Hop, your friendly and enthusiastic neighbor, who's determined to become Champion just like his big brother, Leon. He is adorable, but also adorably bad at choosing his starter Pokemon.
Then there’s Marnie, the quiet and edgy trainer with a horde of devoted Team Yell followers. Team Yell are basically Pokemon's version of overzealous sports fans, constantly trying to sabotage other trainers for Marnie's benefit. They're annoying, yes, but also strangely endearing in their dedication.
Pokemon Jobs: Because Even Pokemon Need Careers
Believe it or not, Sword and Shield introduced Pokemon Jobs. Yes, even your beloved pocket monsters can clock in and earn a living. Need help with construction? Send out your Machop. Got a backlog of letters? Pidgey's on the case!
It's a quirky addition that adds a touch of realism (or, well, Pokemon-realism) to the game. Plus, it’s kind of fun to imagine your team contributing to the Galar economy.
Why Galar is Worth a Visit
So, after soaking up the sun in Alola, why should you pack your bags for Galar? Because it's a totally different Pokemon experience! Sword and Shield offer a blend of classic gameplay with fresh, innovative features. From Gigantamaxing to the Wild Area, there's always something new to discover. It's Pokemon, but with a charming British twist.
Galar is a place where you can become a Pokemon champion, explore a vast wilderness, and even help your Pokemon land their dream job. What are you waiting for? Pip Pip Cheerio, and get ready for a new adventure!
