The online servers for Pokemon Sword and Shield, the biggest games of the year, are being overwhelmed by heavy traffic.

“An error has occurred. Please try again later.”
“The network service may be under maintenance, or an incident may have happened. Please try again later.”
Nintendo has acknowledged the issue on their network status page. See the message translated by NintendoSoup below:
