For starters, they&rsquo;re the first main-series games on a home console. Then we had the whole Pokedex controversy and the fact that a significant number of Pokemon were culled &ndash; the first time in the series that has happened. Now, for the first time ever, we have DLC, which seems to be taking the place of the &ldquo;enhanced edition&rdquo; we&rsquo;d typically see release after paired games (&agrave; la&nbsp;<em>Pokemon Yellow<\/em>&nbsp;after&nbsp;<em>Pokemon Red and Blue<\/em>&nbsp;or&nbsp;<em>Pokemon Platinum<\/em>&nbsp;after&nbsp;<em>Diamond and Pearl<\/em>).<\/p>\n<p>The&nbsp;<em>Isle of Armor<\/em>&nbsp;is the first of two DLCs in the $30&nbsp;<em>Sword and Shield<\/em>&nbsp;expansion pass, and it gives players a new area to explore &ndash; the titular Isle of Armor &ndash; along with a host of returning Pokemon to catch. There are actually quite a few Pokemon returning in the&nbsp;<em>Isle of Armor<\/em>, more than 100 in fact. Among that slate of returning Pokemon are a number of fan favorites, including the ever-popular starters from&nbsp;<em>Red and Blue<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The&nbsp;<em>Isle of Armor<\/em>&nbsp;also features a new story, though it feels more appropriate to call it a side quest. In it, you&rsquo;ll be joining a Dojo and completing a number of tasks before meeting the new legendary Pokemon Kubfu, who can evolve into Urshifu, a Pokemon with two different typing possibilities &ndash; the dual-type Urshifu you get depends on a choice you make toward the end of the&nbsp;<em>Isle of Armor<\/em>&rsquo;s story. You&rsquo;ll also meet a new rival that you&rsquo;ll battle several times as you explore the new island.<\/p>\n<p>On the surface, it doesn&rsquo;t seem like there&rsquo;s a whole lot to the&nbsp;<em>Isle of Armor<\/em>. I was able to work my way through the expansion&rsquo;s story somewhat quickly, leaving me with a new legendary Pokemon at my side and an island to explore more thoroughly. The Isle of Armor is like a more exciting Wild Area &ndash; save for a few buildings, the island is essentially an open world, with fields, caves, swamps, and even lagoons to explore.<\/p>\n<p>Wild Pokemon walk around out in the open here, and when you first arrive on the island, it&rsquo;s genuinely exciting to see returning favorites pop up in front of you. I think I had more fun exploring the Isle of Armor than I did the Wild Area, if only because the landscape of the Isle of Armor seems more varied to me. There also seems to be a lot of Pokemon from generations one and two returning in this expansion, which is another exciting thing for someone like me who&rsquo;s been around from the start.<\/p>\n<div class=\"bigboy\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-628480\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.slashgear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/isle-of-armor-rev-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"594\" height=\"334\" data-attachment-id=\"628480\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.slashgear.com\/pokemon-sword-and-shield-isle-of-armor-review-a-fun-but-short-addition-10628198\/isle-of-armor-rev-4\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/cdn.slashgear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/isle-of-armor-rev-4.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1280,720\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"isle of armor rev 4\" data-image-description=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/cdn.slashgear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/isle-of-armor-rev-4-680x383.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/cdn.slashgear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/isle-of-armor-rev-4.jpg\" \/><\/div>\n<p>Since the Isle of Armor is more or less a new Wild Area, that means there aren&rsquo;t any routes and, by extension, there aren&rsquo;t very many trainer battles outside of the NPCs you fight at the Dojo. If there&rsquo;s one thing I miss, it&rsquo;s that &ndash; I like trainer battles (for the most part), but you don&rsquo;t get to have very many until near the end of the story and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>On the other side of that coin, one addition I really like is Restricted Sparring, a mode that limits you to using one Pokemon type and pits you against a string of often difficult opponents with only a couple of chances to heal. The only reward for succeeding here are battle points (BP), but I think a lot of players will really get into this.<\/p>\n<p>Another aspect of the&nbsp;<em>Isle of Armor<\/em>&nbsp;I&rsquo;ve been having a lot of fun with is the Diglett Hunt, which challenges players to find 150 Alolan Digletts scattered around the island. It&rsquo;s sort of like searching for Koroks in&nbsp;<em>Breath of the Wild<\/em>&nbsp;and it&rsquo;s a fun little distraction. One thing I will note is that it can get difficult to spot the Digletts in handheld mode because the graphics take a hit when you&rsquo;re outside just as they do in the Wild Area, so if you&rsquo;re going to do any significant hunting, you might want to do it on a TV.<\/p>\n<p>There are two additions in the&nbsp;<em>Isle of Armor<\/em>&nbsp;that I think a lot of players will really love, and the first is Max Soup. Max Soup is a major shortcut in that it can be fed to any Pokemon that&rsquo;s typically capable of Gigantamaxing to give them Gigantamaxing capabilities, which is great for competitive players.<\/p>\n<p>Usually, those Pokemon are only available through raid battles that can often be difficult to find, so if you&rsquo;re looking for a specific Gigantamax Pokemon, this feature can save you a lot of time. Obviously, it isn&rsquo;t as effortless as going into the Dojo and getting some soup &ndash; you&rsquo;ll need to track down some relatively rare Max Mushrooms before you can actually make the soup &ndash; but it&rsquo;s definitely a lot better than finding the raid you need or contending with&nbsp;<em>Pokemon Sword and Shield<\/em>&rsquo;s awful online mode to find someone hosting that raid.<\/p>\n<div class=\"bigboy\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-628484\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.slashgear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/isle-of-armor-rev-8.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"716\" height=\"403\" data-attachment-id=\"628484\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.slashgear.com\/pokemon-sword-and-shield-isle-of-armor-review-a-fun-but-short-addition-10628198\/isle-of-armor-rev-8\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/cdn.slashgear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/isle-of-armor-rev-8.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1280,720\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"isle of armor rev 8\" data-image-description=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/cdn.slashgear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/isle-of-armor-rev-8-680x383.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/cdn.slashgear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/isle-of-armor-rev-8.jpg\" \/><\/div>\n<p>The other feature is one that&nbsp;<em>SoulSilver and HeartGold<\/em>&nbsp;adherents like myself will be excited about, and that&rsquo;s the ability to have any Pokemon follow you when you&rsquo;re exploring the island. You can only do this in the Isle of Armor, but regardless, it&rsquo;s a really nice throwback to what I consider to be the best&nbsp;<em>Pokemon<\/em>&nbsp;games ever made (but come on, Game Freak: Let&rsquo;s just make this a standard feature moving forward).<\/p>\n<p>All in all, I think the&nbsp;<em>Isle of Armor<\/em>&nbsp;is a fun little adventure. If you burn through the story it can feel too short, but I think the value comes from exploring the island itself, catching a bunch of new &ndash; or, rather, returning &ndash; Pokemon, and doing all of the extra activities like the Diglett Hunt and Restricted Sparring. It seems like the&nbsp;<em>Isle of Armor<\/em>&nbsp;has a lot of value for competitive players specifically, though I also have to point out that I&rsquo;m not much of a competitive player myself so I might be overestimating how handy things like Max Soup and Restricted Sparring as a source of BP actually are.<\/p>\n<h2>Pokemon Sword and Shield Isle of Armor Verdict<\/h2>\n<p>Ultimately, I think the&nbsp;<em>Isle of Armor<\/em>&nbsp;makes small improvements to many of the good things about&nbsp;<em>Pokemon Sword and Shield<\/em>. The island itself feels like a better Wild Area, the expansion makes it easier to obtain Gigantamax Pokemon (which I think is the coolest part about Dynamaxing Pokemon to begin with), and it offers players some challenge &ndash; something that is severely lacking in mainline Pokemon games &ndash; with Restricted Sparring. Really, the main draw for nearly everyone will be catching more Pokemon, as there are a lot of favorites from previous generations to catch in this expansion.<\/p>\n<p>It isn&rsquo;t a perfect expansion, of course. The story doesn&rsquo;t feel all that significant in the grand scheme of things and, just like in the Wild Area, the graphics don&rsquo;t look great when you&rsquo;re exploring the island itself. I still think it&rsquo;s weird that there&rsquo;s no voice acting at all even though there&rsquo;s often a big focus on what characters are saying and the Y-Comm is still an awful way to handle internet connectivity, but really those are issues with&nbsp;<em>Sword and Shield<\/em>&nbsp;as a whole.<\/p>\n<div class=\"bigboy\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-628481\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.slashgear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/isle-of-armor-rev-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"690\" height=\"388\" data-attachment-id=\"628481\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.slashgear.com\/pokemon-sword-and-shield-isle-of-armor-review-a-fun-but-short-addition-10628198\/isle-of-armor-rev-5\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/cdn.slashgear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/isle-of-armor-rev-5.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1280,720\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"isle of armor rev 5\" data-image-description=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/cdn.slashgear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/isle-of-armor-rev-5-680x383.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/cdn.slashgear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/isle-of-armor-rev-5.jpg\" \/><\/div>\n<p>We&rsquo;re in something of a weird spot because I wouldn&rsquo;t say that the&nbsp;<em>Isle of Armor<\/em>&nbsp;is worth $30 on its own, and even though it isn&rsquo;t the only DLC that will be available in the expansion pass, it&rsquo;s the only part that&rsquo;s available now. If the&nbsp;<em>Crown Tundra<\/em>&nbsp;is similar in scope and size to the&nbsp;<em>Isle of Armor<\/em>, then the expansion pass will be worth the cost. That won&rsquo;t be launching until sometime this fall, so it could still be several months before we have the&nbsp;<em>Crown Tundra<\/em>&nbsp;in our hands, so to speak. Those who feel they can wait until the&nbsp;<em>Crown Tundra<\/em>&nbsp;releases are probably best served doing just that, if for no other reason than to make sure that Game Freak doesn&rsquo;t drop the ball with the second expansion in the pass.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from that, if you liked&nbsp;<em>Pokemon Sword and Shield<\/em>, you&rsquo;ll almost certainly like the&nbsp;<em>Isle of Armor<\/em>. If you weren&rsquo;t crazy about Sword and Shield, I don&rsquo;t see the Isle of Armor changing your opinion that much, unless of course your primary complaint was the culled Pokedex. The&nbsp;<em>Isle of Armor<\/em>&nbsp;goes a long way toward fixing that, and though we still aren&rsquo;t likely to have the entire Pokedex back even after the&nbsp;<em>Crown Tundra<\/em>, it will certainly be in much better shape than it was at the launch of&nbsp;<em>Sword and Shield<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"tags\">\n<div><strong>See Campaign: <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/news.com\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/news.com<\/a><br \/><b>Contact Information:<\/b><br \/>Eric Abent <\/p>\n<p><b>Tags:<\/b><br \/><a href=\"\"><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/news-category\/wire\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Wire<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/global-regions\/united-states\/\" rel=\"category tag\">United States<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/language\/english\/\" rel=\"category tag\">English<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" alt=\"image\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" class=\"cwdfimg\" \/><\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>Contact Information:<\/h3>\n<p>Eric Abent <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"233\" height=\"24\" src=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/3998-ICN.png\" alt=\"\">EDITORS&rsquo; RATING: 7\/10 PROS The Isle of Armor is a better Wild Area Many returning Pokemon, including a lot of fan favorites Diglett Hunting is fun Max Soup makes it easier to obtain Gigantamax Pokemon CONS Story is relatively short and inconsequential Pokemon Sword and Shield&rsquo;s bad parts hold the Isle of Armor back too &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/2020\/07\/13\/pokemon-sword-and-shield-isle-of-armor-review-a-fun-but-short-addition\/\">Continue reading <span>Pokemon Sword and Shield Isle of Armor Review: A fun, but short, addition<\/span><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/ipsnews.net\/business\/2020\/07\/13\/pokemon-sword-and-shield-isle-of-armor-review-a-fun-but-short-addition\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue Reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,22,54],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-44024","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-english","category-united-states","category-wire"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.9 -
