Second Pokemon Sword And Shield Launch Event Announced In Japan

The Pokemon Company has announced the second official launch event for Pokemon Sword and Shield in Japan.

To be clear, there are always two launch events held for every new Pokemon release in Japan, so this isn’t a backup or replacement for the first launch event that was cancelled. It’s also important to note that Junichi Masuda, who has always appeared at the second launch event, will not be attending the second Pokemon Sword and Shield launch event.

The second launch event will be held from November 15 to November 17, 2019 at the 4th floor sky garden of Hankyu Nishinomiya Gardens in Hyogo, Japan. During the three days, the following activities will take place:
