“Up until now, we’ve been proud we’ve been able to include so many Pokémon in the games, but as a result of that, there’s actually been quite a few features or gameplay ideas that we’ve had to abandon in the past. Going forward, thinking about the future of Pokémon, we want to prioritize all those new gameplay ideas, new ways to enjoy the game, and want to challenge ourselves at Game Freak to create new ways to enjoy the game. That’s really what drove the decision for this new direction.

We have a lot of awesome new challenges that we haven’t even revealed inSwordand Shield. We want to continue to come up with these new features, so we figured this was the best path forward for the franchise”

So where are these features?????
