Game Informer was able to interview Game Freak about the development of Pokémon Sword and Shield. A lot of new information came out of it, such as the return of Exp share for example, 18 Gyms in Major and Minor League, or the implementation of an automatic backup!
Very practical in the Wild Area in particular which will allow you to make Trades without having to save before and after. The developers' desire was to free the players from this 'obligation'. They will be able to walk freely in Galar without having to worry about the backup.
