Pokemon Sword & Shield Expansion Pass Pre-Order Guide: Release Window Bonuses Price And More

While Pokemon Sword and Shield regularly hold limited-time events, many fans are still waiting for the pair of expansions set to release later this year to bring them back after finishing the main campaign. Isle of Armor and The Crown Tundra are replacing the pair of follow-up games (such as Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon) that have begun releasing a year or two after a new generation of Pokemon RPGs release. Though an exact release date hasn't been set for either expansion, we know Isle of Armor releases in June and The Crown Tundra arrives this fall. The expansions are available to pre-order now through multiple retailers and the Nintendo Eshop.

The expansions will not be sold individually, so you have to buy the Expansion Pass for $30 to gain access to both Isle of Armor and The Crown Tundra. Considering The Pokemon Company and Nintendo previously charged full price for the "definitive" third version of each game, the new model is probably preferable for most fans.

Both expansions feature their own regions and storylines. Isle of Armor takes place on an island off the coast of Galar that houses a dojo led by Leon's former mentor Mustard (yes, that's his actual name). The Crown Tundra is set on a snowy mountain and leans more into exploration. All told, the expansions will add more than 200 old Pokemon to Sword and Shield's Pokedex.

For more on the expansions, check out our roundup of everything we know so far about Isle of Armor and The Crown Tundra. It might go without saying, but a copy of Pokemon Sword or Pokemon Shield is required to play the expansions.

As the first mainline Pokemon games to release on a Nintendo home console, Sword and Shield proved to be extremely successful, to the surprise of no one, really. They earned a 9/10 in GameSpot's Pokemon Sword and Shield review, so hopefully the expansions live up to the quality of the base game.

Though the Expansion Pass won't be released as a physical edition, you can still pre-purchase the digital code from retailers such as Amazon and Walmart. There's an incentive to pre-purchase, too.

Those who pre-purchase the Expansion Pass will receive exclusive Pikachu and Eevee trainer uniforms that can be worn immediately. A second bonus, clothing modeled after Leon's tights and cap, will unlock when Isle of Armor releases. The Expansion Pass must be purchased by August 31 to get Leon's outfit. Both bonuses are redeemed through Sword and Shield's Mystery Gift feature.

Pre-order Pokemon Sword & Shield Expansion Pass | $30image

You can pre-order the Expansion Pass directly through the Nintendo Eshop for $30. Make sure to pick the Expansion Pass that corresponds with the game you own. Sword and Shield each have their own Expansion Pass listings. If you prefer to shop at retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, or Walmart, you can also snag a code for the same price and enter it on the Eshop, where you can then pick if you want the Expansion Pass for Sword or Shield.

Purchase Sword and Shield + Expansion Pass Bundle | $90

If you don't already have Sword or Shield, you can purchase digital bundles that include the base game and expansion pass for $90.

Rambunctious Bowie may be a pup in kitten’s clothing: Send us your pet rescue stories

MEDINA, Ohio -- Bowie came into my life last September after a family friend found a litter of kittens in her back yard. I couldn't resist his adorable little half-gray face and had to bring him home -- and he's been a spitfire ever since. Although we're unsure of who Bowie's father is, I'm convinced it was a dog of some sort. Because Bowie may look like a kitten, but he acts like a puppy. Starting very young, Bowie learned that his favorite activity was a nice game of fetch. He also enjoys chasing me around the house, giving me kisses when I ask, crying at the door if I leave the house, begging for snacks at the dinner table and cuddling up to watch TV at the end of the night. The most cat-like thing he does is purr. When the COVID-19 outbreak began, I was still based in New York City. I had to make the tough decision to flee the city and come home to Medina, where I could have more space and safety, but obviously I couldn't leave my kitten behind in an empty a

State Forty Eight clothing company stays upbeat amid coronavirus fallout

Johnson/The Republic) Chandler clothing company State Forty Eight applied for the Paycheck Protection Program loan the first day they were made available. The government funding ran out before they were approved for the small-business loan, the company says.  But the apparel-line owners remain optimistic.  "We are making the best out of it and that's been the mindset for us," said Mike Spangenberg, the CEO and co-founder of State Forty Eight.    Spangenberg said the small-business loan process was "frustrating."  The company is trying to move forward and not "bank" on getting funds from the second round of small-business loan money passed by Congress and signed by President Trump on Friday.   Although retail store closures halted some business for State Forty Eight, the company continu

From JDT glory to English non-league anonymity and his own clothing line

© Provided by Sporting News Having started out in non-league football in England back in 2011, Junior Eldstal is once again in those same waters in 2020, this time with Metropolitan Police. The difference, however, is that he enjoyed a hugely productive period in Malaysian football with Sarawak, Johor Darul Ta'zim and the Malaysia national teams in between.  Still only 28 years old, Junior made the incredible decision to return to England to focus on developing his business after the 2018 season with JDT. But over time, the lure of football is proving more and more difficult to ignore. Acknowledging that time is still on his side, Junior is keeping his options open, while keeping a close eye on proceedings in Malaysia. "I decided to play for Met Police because they are only five minutes down the road from me and I have a couple of friends there. It's quite a good standard. When I first started, the thought process wasn't about thinking to ge
