Max Raid Battle: Difference between revisions

* {{g|Sword and Shield}} director [[Shigeru Ohmori]] has noted that despite the similarities between Max Raid Battles and the {{OBP|Raid Battle|GO}} mechanic in {{g|GO}} (which debuted three years prior to Sword and Shield's release), the initial concept for Max Raid Battles actually came first. Ohmori nonetheless acknowledged the influence that Pokémon GO's Raid Battles had on the development of Max Raid Battles, including the latter's name being changed from simply "cooperative battles".<ref>Shea, Brian (November 13, 2019).
