Nintendo has sent out an email to owners of Pokemon Sword and Shield in Japan today.

The email contains a special message from Pokemon Sword and Shield director Shigeru Ohmori.

Here’s the message as translated by NintendoSoup:

“Are you enjoying your journey in the Galar region?

Everyone, are you tackling the gyms in your path to become the Champion? Also, I’m wondering if you are enjoying your time in the Wild Area where many Pokemon appear?

The Galar region was an idea conceived by many members of our development team. We wanted to make this a game all kinds of people could enjoy, regardless of their play style.

I hope you will cooperate with your friends and other trainers from around the world in Max Raid Battles, have fun in camps and try visiting other tents, and enjoy the various ways of playing the games through online and local play with your friends!”

What do you think? Let us know in the comments.

Thanks, Lin and Brandon.
