Pokémon Sword/Shield Expansion Pass

Pokémon Sword and Shield will be getting an Expansion Pass, coming in two parts, in June 2020 and Fall 2020. The Expansion Pass will feature new Pokémon and Gigantamax forms, returning old Pokémon, new areas to explore, new clothing items and more! The Pass will be $30 DLC and will grant you access to both parts when they become available. There will be a free update for anyone who does not get the Expansion Passes so they can still trade the Pokémon that are going to become newly available too.

Starting now, you are also able to get version 1.1.0 of Sword/Shield as a free update which lets you do a small beginning of the story in Wedgehurst Station, and get yourself a Galarian Slowpoke. More details here: https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/e ... ial-bonus/

What do you guys think? Are you planning to get the Expansion Pass? Are you upset they aren't releasing a new game instead? Tell us what you think!

Personally, I am on board with this idea. The constant new game (and therefore a new start, with new Pokémon and essentially abandoning your old team and items and everything) was getting tiring for me. I'm all about the idea of getting to continue the story and getting fresh new content in the same game. $30 seemed steep as first, but it's essentially a new chunk of game for another year (and maybe longer!), so I think it's a fair price.

I bought it as soon as I got home. I thought it was $30 for each piece of DLC but was surprised to find that the it was $30 for all of it. I’m really excited for more content! And personally I’m glad that they chose DLC over a third game.

Well, the first part of the Expansion Pass, the Isle of Armor, comes out June 17th, only a few days from now! Are you guys going to get it? I already pre-purchased mine! I hope it's as fun as the trailers make it seem.

I want to play on it so badly, but due to not having SwSh I think I will watch YouTubers play it! It's just an enjoyable watching others play, too, and I hope you have fun playing the DLC! I've yet to see any of the new game play stuff, but I will look to seeing it soon!

So I've been a little busy with other stuff the past two nights, so I haven't played that much, but so far I'm really enjoying the Isle of Armor. There are so many little areas to explore and things to do, and the little "quality of life" improvements all around are nice too.

The second part of the Expansion Pass, The Crown Tundra, is coming out today! Who is excited? What are you enjoying with both parts of the expansion?
