Pokémon Protagonists in Pokémon Sword and Shield

The Pokémon protagonists in Pokémon Sword and Shield have changed from previous iterations of the game. The era of Ash Ketchum and Red are long gone as Nintendo and Game Freaks has brought in new heroes.

Sadly, your character isn't a main character from a show.

The game allows you to choose multiple avatars. Like any avatar, you choose how you want to look. It doesn't change the outcome of the game, so make sure to keep what you want.

The supporting is cast has changed. Professor Magnolia is the Pokémon Professor of the Galar region. Sonia is Professor Magnolia’s assistant and is a researcher in her own right. Leon is the reigning Champion of the Galar region and holds the title of “the greatest Trainer in all of Galar.” 

These characters help make up the world of Galar. So go out and enjoy the new generation of Pokémon.
