English-language Galar licensed books coming soon

[TapLover]

Does this give you hopes of the "reboot" coming soon? Many of these are currently placeholders, but these will include:
1. Chapter book based on three-part story arc (don't know what it is)
2. Readers (much like SM)
3. Revised Visual Companion/Encyclopedia with info on the Alola anime and Galar added. The book will continue to hold that "Scholastic writers adding to previously-written content" feelings, especially noticeable in the "intro" chapter (outdated info on Pokedex voices using the term "Dexterette" for the Hoenn/Sinnoh-era female voice that seems to be unchanged since the first edition (Visual Guide) and the chapter on Fairy-types most likely written around early 2014 due to the "Ash and his friends will explore various Fairy-type Pokemon through Kalos" line are among the more noticeable).
4. Sword and Shield handbook

The descriptions currently make no mention of Go, the fact that the series is obviously trying to NOT stay in Galar and focus on other regions ("Ash explores Galar in the new series", and of course mentions the "first partners" (a term we all wish Scholastic should stop using for "starters") of Galar. Unless they're preparing two sets of anime series, I don't know anything else about them.

A link or titles would have been appreciated. Anyway, the anime hasn't even premiered in the west yet, so no English book is going to spoil anything. The fact that Go isn't mentioned makes it pretty obvious that these books haven't even been finished yet (September is pretty off), or maybe just that whoever wrote the description is pretty clueless.

Isn't the revised edition of the visual companion this one? It hasn't been released yet, but there is no mention of Galar.

From the first link:

"Join Ash and Pikachu on an adventure in Galar, the newest Pokémon region! They'll meet and catch some amazing new Pokémon in this reader, including Galar First Partners Grookey, Scorbunny, and Sobble. Includes stickers!"

You read it here first. Ash gets Scorbunny confirmed!
