A pair of brand new Pokémon games are headed to the Nintendo Switch on November 15th, and they'll introduce a whole new generation of Pokémon to fans. "Pokémon Sword" and "Pokémon Shield" mark the 8th generation of Pokémon games, and will bring the total number of Pokémon to more than 1,000.

Like the original Pokémon titles, "Sword" and "Shield" are role-playing games. Players will adventure through the brand-new Galar region, capturing Pokémon and battling other trainers on their way to becoming the Pokémon champion.

However, "Sword and Shield" will be the first main Pokémon games not to include every species of Pokémon in the prior games. While many fan-favorites like Pikachu and Charizard are confirmed to return, players will spend more time getting familiar with the new species of Pokémon introduced in the Galar region.

Players will choose from one of three new starter Pokémon — Grookey, Scorbunny, and Sobble — at the start of their adventure and encounter countless other Pokémon as they explore Galar. Nintendo has revealed about 15 new Pokémon so far, and there are sure to be dozens more by time the games arrive in November.

Here are all of the new Pokémon we've seen in "Pokémon Sword and Shield" so far, with their official descriptions:

The stick held by Grookey was originally from the forest where troops of Grookey live, but it's no longer a simple branch. It has gained special powers after being exposed to the energy within Grookey's body.

"Its green fur creates energy from sunlight. Wilted flowers and leaves have been seen to regain their color when Grookey drums with its stick near them."

"Scorbunny uses its powerful legs to run and jump around its opponents, confusing and disorienting them. The soles of its feet can become very hot, and Scorbunny can kick opponents to damage and burn them, too!"

"Scorbunny has a fire sac in its chest, which contains viscous fire energy. If Scorbunny is able to increase its heart rate and body temperature by running around and warming up properly, the true power of its fire energy will be awakened and its physical capabilities will greatly increase."

"When Sobble touches water, its body changes its pattern and color, allowing it to blend into its surroundings. Sobble is a bit timid, and so if it gets nervous or embarrassed, it will secrete the water within its body like sweat and disappear into the surroundings."
