Changes to online features in Pokemon Sword and Shield

There is exciting news for fans of the game Pokemon. Note that starting next month, several online functions of a popular game about Pokemon Sword and Shield characters beloved by gamers will change. The company recently announced this to gamers. Fans have been made aware that some features will be removed on November 1st. Fortunately, players will be able to participate in raids and trade. But there will no longer be an opportunity to take part in exciting ranked battles or online tournaments.

Starting November 1st, the game will receive a Wilderness News Update that will include new playable characters.

So, the period of online competitions ends, but great friendly battles can be entered. Though you won't see them in Pokemon Home as of December 1 this year.  In addition, all Y-Comm features, and many other features, will still be available for gamers. It is really good news for fans.

An exciting gaming novelty saw the world in 2019 and gained great popularity. It is the eighth generation of the famous Pokémon franchise. After about two years, 24.5 million copies of the games were sold, which proves the great success of the new product.
