Even beyond the difference in style, with SV going for a more realistic art style for the Pokémon, the colour contrast difference between Z-A and SV is also massive.

Which do you prefer?

Did you know? Wurmple’s evolution into either Cascoon or Silkoon solely depends on a console gremlin that flips switches randomly. If Wurmple is not present in a Pokémon game, the console gremlin is fed to the bugs in the code, which is why games without Wurmple have more bugs! #pokemon #pokefacts!

Also we can now confirm that Pokémon main series games have sold over 100 million units on Nintendo Switch

It almost certainly had before but the latest numbers we had put it at 99.1m, but this helps clear it.

That's also just shy of a third of all Pokémon main series game sales total
Serebii Update: Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sold 5.8 million units globally in the first week of release
