This DLC allows Sword and Shield players to explore the Isle of Armor and the Crown Tundra. There are more Pokémon to capture, new rivals to meet, and more challenges to complete. Plus, you can capture Legendary Pokémon from past games.
One of the best modern generations of Pokémon, much better than the distant and mythical X and Y.
Unfairly criticized, the video game press did appreciate the game. Since it has a great story, a very varied and fun world to explore, as well as one of the best multiplayer ever seen.
Si este juego hubiera sido para 3DS sería uno de los mejores juegos de la franquicia, pero dada la ineptitud de esta empresa se queda como uno más, de cualquier manera yo lo disfruté como fan de la saga que soy, pero no quita que la experiencia hubiese sido de 9 o 10 con mucho más empeño
In the main game, the graphic aren't good and especially the wild area is ugly. I really can't complain about the gameplay. It features the well known Pokémon battle system, and I appreciate that many Pokémon have a well animated signature move, even though most other attacks didn't get much love when the animations were made. It's the first main series game where the Pokémon aren't just random encounters in certain areas, but visibly on the overworld. For some reason, the Pokémon just spawn a few meters in front of you, so you need the reflexes of a falcon, if you don't want to hit a Pokémon every few meters when driving fast with the bike. Like in Alola, the region before, the gym challenge got a fresh touch. But unlike Alola, Galar kept the gyms themselves .All in all, the main game is solid. I am amazed by the DLC-Pass. It fixed many of the main games issues. The isle of armor and crown tundra look beautiful, especially, when you compare them to the wild area. A fans wish was made true, by having your first party member walk behind you. The DLC also added lots of older Pokémon, that weren't featured in the main game. While the isle of armor focused on battles, the crown tundra is a vast wilderness to explore. The Galar region followed the idea of Alola to add regional variants of already existing Pokémon to franchise besides just new Pokémon. The new Pokémon are cool and some of them became new fan favourites. Pokémon Sword and Shield are games worth playing, and the DLC-Pass is even better.
This game was alright. Owing to the fact that the majority of my childhood was dominated by Pokemon, I find myself craving a Pokemon fix every few months or so. I had already finished the Sword base game, so I decided to purchase the expansion pass and see what they had to offer. The isle of armor expansion pass seemed pretty barebones, it had some pokemon that I liked, but I don't really feel as though it deserves credit for including those at this pricepoint. Crown Tundra was better, the legendary dens were a cool concept and I liked the battle-factory style of picking pokemon and battling through to the end, but apart from that it was just another wild area crammed full of pokemon. This time I also decided to breed and build a competitive team, and honestly I think teambuilding has quickly become my favourite part of the game, although the version exclusives are really annoying to come by now that the game has passed into the later stage of its life cycle.
