Gamers trying to catch 'em all will soon have three more Pokmon on their lists.
The new Pokmon will be featured in Nintendo's eighth-generation games, "Sword" and "Shield," announced Wednesday. The news came on the company's self-proclaimed Pokmon Day, a celebration of the debut of the first two Pokmon games in 1996.
It's the brand's first new game generation since Generation 7 hit screens in late 2016, and the first series designed exclusively for the Nintendo Switch. The Switch, a flexible console that can be handheld or stationary, came out in early 2017.
