Earlier this month, Nintendo hosted aspecial Nintendo Directspecifically forPokemon SwordandShield. It was during this presentation that fans learned a ton of new information about the upcoming Switch exclusives, including how the new Dynamax feature works, and who the legendary Pokemon will be in the Galar region.
Since Nintendo already gave such a deep dive intoPokemon SwordandShieldearlier this month, the company barely mentioned the games in its E3 2019 Nintendo Direct, beyond reaffirming their release date. However, since the E3 2019 Nintendo Direct presentation, those in attendance at the show have gotten their hands on the games, revealing a couple of new Pokemon in the process.
It’s been revealed thatPokemon SwordandShieldwill be adding a corgi-like Pokemon named Yamper, as well as a devilish imp named Impidimp. It’s a bit strange that Nintendo didn’t feature Yamper and Impidimp in the recentPokemon SwordandShieldNintendo Direct since it was prepared to reveal them just a week later at E3, but oh well.
Yamper has already been praised on the Internet for its cute appearance and resemblance to a corgi, whereas Impidimp has received some mockery for its appearance and name. However, Impidimp is actually a fairly significant Pokemon in the grand scheme of things, as it is the first-ever dark/fairy-type Pokemon in series history.
We will need to learn more about Impidimp to make a determination, but this unique aspect of it may make one of the most sought-after new Pokemon inPokemon SwordandShield. This may be especially so if Impidimp is able to evolve into an even more powerful and impressive Pokemon.
More information on any potential Impidimp evolutions should come to light as we get closer to thePokemon SwordandShieldrelease date. Fans can also expect even more newGalar regionPokemon to be revealed for the games in the future as well, perhaps even before E3 week wraps.
