Pokemon Sword and Shield Make Some Controversial New Changes
Pokemon Sword and
Pokemon Shield. The pair of Nintendo Switch games haven t changed much since release unless you count the pair of expansions that added to and bolstered the experience of both. Beyond this, Nintendo and Game Freak have done very little with the pair of games. However, recently the duo did announce the Ranked Battle Series 9 rulebook, which in turn has revealed a slew of changes, some of which are proving to be quite controversial.
With Season 8, trainers are allowed to make use of one restricted Legendary Pokemon. At the time, this was a change from the Season 7 ruleset. That said, for Season 9, this change is being reverted. In other words, this aspect of the rulebook is returning to Season 7. And of course, this means the current meta is changing and changing in a big way, again.
