Serial Codes for Pokémon Sword & Shield are region free
Less restrictions
Serial codes have provided special cosmetic items for Pokémon players for many generations, but a previous restriction is now removed in the newest entry in the series. While the feature was available for Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee, this documents the first time that serial codes are region free in a mainline Pokémon title.
Japanese, American, and European special events will no longer be exclusive to their particular region, as the codes can now be activated on any version of the game. Special thanks to Serebii for discovering the new region free feature.
