Here's hoping the "Wild Area" turns into a full blown open world someday. Not holding my breath though.
We can probably expect an "Ultra" Sword and Shield soon too, I wonder what they will add/improve there.

Sun was the first Pokémon game I gave up on playing. Not sure why, because I loves the new style, but it just didn’t grasp me like the other Pokémon games I played. Still need to pick up Sword.

Not surprised, the Switch itself is already a huge hit on Japan.
