Pokémon Designer Shares Special Artwork To Celebrate The Release Of Sword And Shield

Pokémon designer and Sword and Shield art director James Turner – who recently came under fire for ‘liking’ a tweet that attacked disappointed Pokémon fans – has been sharing custom artwork leading up to the big release.

Now that the new generation has launched on Switch (at least in most parts of the world, at this stage), he’s uploaded a new drawing to Twitter, while sending good wishes to everyone who is about to embark on their grand adventure in the Galar region.

Here’s some of his previous artwork leading up to the Sword and Shield launch (click/tap to enlarge):
