In just a few days, Pokemon Sword and Shield are set to release exclusively on the Nintendo Switch. Both games will form part of the eighth generation of the Pokemon franchise, and the second Pokemon games to be released on the Switch after Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee. Both games are now available for pre-loading on the Switch.
Now, given that the upcoming games will contain a vast amount of content, which is estimated to take more than 10GB of space on the Switch, players should expect a sizable game world with sprawling towns and wildlands to explore. However, for serious Pokemon trainers looking to make the most out of the experience can pre-order the official strategy guide of Pokemon Sword and Shield, which is currently discounted at Amazon.

The hardcover edition of the strategy guide is currently available for pre-order at Amazon for only $24.70, which is 38% off its original list price of $39.99. The official strategy guide contains over 400 pages of information about the Galar Region and the Pokemon that inhabits the area.

Amazon is also offering a slightly cheaper paperback edition of Pokemon Sword and Shield's official strategy guide.

Meanwhile, as the release date of both games approaches, a wide variety of leaks are starting to surface on the internet. Several days ago, information about starter evolutions, the list of Pokemon players will be able to catch, and more were leaked online, some of which were images taken from the official strategy guide. Thankfully, players won't have to wait for too long as both Pokemon Sword and Shield are set to release next week.
