The Galar Region
(Bigger version)
Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield will be set in a region called Galar. It’s said that you’ll visit various Gyms in this region and that you will be aiming to become the Champion.
Locations
Screenshots of various locations in Galar can be found under the spoiler tag.
In this picture you can see where these locations can be found on the map.
The Wild Area
There is a vast expanse of land in the Galar region which is known as the Wild Area. The Wild Area is full of nature as far as the eye can see, and it connects several different towns and cities. Here you'll find a great variety of Pokémon that elsewhere in the region, and the Pokémon you'll run into will change depending on things like the weather or location. There's also a chance you'll run into powerful wild Pokémon that are a lot higher in level than you are. These can also be evolved Pokémon, like Machoke or Vespiquen. Even if you can defeat them, you won't always be able to throw a Poké Ball at them.
While in the Wild Area, you’ll be able to control the camera in order to explore and search for Pokémon and items. The weather in the Wild Area can change depending on where you are or what time of day it is. There will also be new weather patterns such as thunderstorms, during which you'll find many Electric-type Pokémon. You can also see friends who are online walking in the Wild Area and can interact with them to trade or battle.
