The eighth generation is set in the [[Galar]] region, which is based on the United Kingdom, similar to how Unova is based on the United States. The games became the fastest selling Nintendo Switch games, beating out [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]] and selling 6 million copies worldwide.
 Instead of releasing a separate "third version" or sequel(s) to Sword and Shield, a pair of DLCs, [[The Isle of Armor]] and [[The Crown Tundra]], were introduced in its place, featuring all-new areas, returning Pokémon, and new Legendaries.
