Pokémon Sword And Shield’s ‘Full Pokedex’ Has Leaked Online

(Don’t worry, this article contains no spoilers).

Those wishing to keep free of spoilers in the run-up to the launch of Pokémon Sword And Shield might have a hard time on their hands, as the internet is currently awash with leaks.

The supposed leaks even claim to include the full and entire Pokédex for the games, which is pretty sad considering this is generation eight, and a whole new world of Pokémon.

I’m not going to go into detail here, but if you want to check out the leaks for yourself you can via this ResetEra post. Note that, although the leaks haven’t been verified by any official sources, they’re incredibly detailed and include images, so either they’re legit or someone has way too much time on their hands.

There’s still another couple of weeks to go until Pokémon Sword and Shield are released, so it’s probably going to get increasingly harder to try and stay away from spoilers. I suggest muting “Pokémon Sword And Shield” and “Pokémon” on your social media feeds to be on the safe side.

“Traditionally in Pokémon games, it’s an important thing to write your report to record your save, and that’s always been a staple, like, ‘Remember to save your game!’ We do have an autosave feature this time, where you can just adventure and it’ll constantly save the game.”

Autosave will be on by default, but you’ll be able to turn it off and use manual saves if you want the true Pokémon experience.
