Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield are the first games in the eighth generation of the Pokémon series, released for the Nintendo Switch in November 2019. The games take place in the Galar Region, based on England.
Use Pokémon Sword and Shield only for human characters, not for Generation VIII Pokémon by themselves. This includes personifications, dolls, etc. For example, post #3429705 is just a Scorbunny, so it shouldn't be tagged Pokemon Sword And Shield.
See Help:Pokémon tags for more tagging guidelines.
