Exclusive: Behind the Inspiration of Pokémon Sword And Shield’s Galar Region

by Alex Stadnik on Oct 11, 2019 at 11:00 AM

With our exclusive coverage of Pokémon Sword and Shield, we've covered everything from Grookey, Sobble and Scorbunny to asking developers the hard questions such as what's really under Tangela's vines? And while we know a bit about what's going to inhabit the region, we don't know much about the world itself. During our trip to Tokyo, Japan, we took a peak behind the curtain, as art director James Turner discusses how his experience growing up in the U.K. influenced Game Freak's loving creation of the new Galar region.
