4 Things You Should Know Before Starting Pokemon Sword & Shield

You Won’t Be Able to Transfer All of Your Old Pokemon

Sorry If this is the first time that you’re hearing this but the National Dex has been cut from Pokemon Sword and Shield, meaning that hundreds of Pokemon are not available in the game and they also cannot be transferred in from past Pokemon titles.

There’s only 400 Pokemon in Sword and Shield so if you were excited about transferring all of your old Pokemon over to the Galar region, you may need to rethink that.

It’s also worth mentioning that you won’t be able to transfer any Pokemon at all until sometime in 2020 when Pokemon Home launches.
