List of generation VIII Pokémon
The eighth generation (Generation VIII) of the Pokémon franchise features 81 new fictional species of creatures introduced to the core video game series in the 2019 Nintendo Switch games Pokémon Sword and Shield. The starter Pokémon were the first of the generation to be revealed.
Design and development
Development of Pokémon Sword and Shield began in 2016, immediately following the development period of Pokémon Sun and Moon. The conceptual phase lasted approximately a year and the debugging process continued into 2019.[1] With the Galar region based on Great Britain, the native Pokémon draw inspiration from British fauna, folklore, and mythology. The legendary Pokémon Zacian and Zamazenta are wolf-like creatures, drawing inspiration from wolves that frequently appear in British mythology.[2] Design of the starter Pokémon revolved around the area in which they would be encountered by the player character.[1]
