I played a few hours pokémon Sword, and mostly spent my time catching pokémon, my first box is already full.

Something I like in the games is the large amount of small details present. They created an alphabet, with font variants, for all the text seen of signs, posters, screens. Look at the fences on the first town and road, there are little sign on them.

There are several cloth brands, each one with its own logotype. I find the cloth choice better than in Alola (also the ​ t-shirt in the first shop looks very cool).

Hey, @monorail there is a change about you. Evolution method for eevee into glaceon has changed (ice stone on eevee instead of leveling up around an icy rock).

Full pokédex info (descriptions, stats, learnset, evolution methods) has been datamined.

Datamining of the game has started (from the preloaded version).

Things to note:
* There are 435 pokémon in the game data, so a bit more than the Galar pokédex. Probably for future events (like ​, available with a Pokéball Plus, but not in the pokédex). Most are legendary or fabulous pokémons. Kanto and Alola starters are here, and Alola forms of pokémon already present in game. Also, two pokémons are "reserved", probably for new fabulous pokémons.
* Move removal: Z moves (because lack of Z crystal), moves that have little use (Flash, Bubble, Psywave), moves only learnt by pokémon not in game (Steamroller, Magnet Bomb), moves hard to use effectively (Me First, Hidden Power), and probably never used in competition.

​, do not break it or it will void the warrenty.

There were many leaks in the last few days as someone was able to play with a cartridge game and post screenshots.

Appart from the new pokémons, there are a few interesting things:
- 400 Pokémons in the regional pokédex, so a bit less than X&Y.
- there are fossils pokémons, and they are obtained by combining two fossil parts (an upper part and a lower part). Interestingly, you can combine the upper and lower parts in any way you want to get different pokémons (for a total of 4 different pokémons)
- no new eeveelution (breaking with the traditional new eeveeelutions on even gen)
- ​, ​, ​, ​ are getting regional forms
- ​ seems to be the only starter from another gen to be present in the game (not counting or ​).
