Pokemon Sword and Shield will launch on November 15, but leaks about what the games will entail have already spread all over the Internet. The Pokemon Sword and Shield leaks seem to come largely from images taken of the games' official strategy guide, revealing all of the Pokemon that players will be able to catch, starter evolutions, and much more.


Many Pokemon Sword and Shield fans want to experience the new games with fresh eyes and have been avoiding the leaks at all costs. However, there are other Pokemon Sword and Shield fans that have been giving into temptation and looking at the leaks anyway, as they just can't wait until November 15 to experience the games for themselves.



The struggle of Pokemon Sword and Shield fans to resist looking at leaks has inspired some fresh memes from the games' sub-reddit. Here are some of the best Pokemon Sword and Shield leak memes that we were able to find.





























While it's safe to say that there are some Pokemon Sword and Shield fans who are genuinely annoyed by the leaks, it looks like many are taking them in good humor. Hopefully those who don't want to see the Pokemon Sword and Shield leaks are able to avoid them between now and when the games launch on November 15. Anyone who doesn't care is free to check out the leaked Pokemon Sword and Shield starter evolutions, some new legendary Pokemon, and whatever else they can find.


In the meantime, it will be interesting to see if there are any drastic measures taken by Nintendo, Game Freak, and The Pokemon Company to avoid so many leaks for the next set of Pokemon games. The Pokemon Sword and Shield leaks have been spilling out for months, with most of them proven to be accurate. The most substantial leak was the famous Affleck leak, which made a wide number of claims that all proved to be true.


How the companies will avoid so many leaks in the future remains to be seen, but in the meantime, fans can look forward to finally get their hands on Pokemon Sword and Shield on November 15.


Pokemon Sword and Shield will launch on Friday, November 15, exclusively for the Nintendo Switch.
