Then on June 5th Nintendo is holding a Pokémon themed Direct presentation at 6AM PT/9AM ET. The roughly 15-minute long Direct is slated to reveal more information about the upcoming mainline Switch games in the series, Sword and Shield.

So far all that we know is that the games will feature 3D graphics similar to Pokémon Let’s Go Pikachu and Eevee for the Switch, and the fact that the game seems to be set in a fictional region based on Scotland.

The Pokémon Company has also shown off the game’s three starter Pocket Monsters: a Fire-Type rabbit named Scorbunny, a Water-Type lizard, called Sobble and finally a Grass-Type monkey named Grooky.

That’s all that has been officially shared about the game so far. We’ll have to wait until June 5th to learn more about the region and the new Pokémon that inhabit it.
