Japanese Pokemon fans have been overwhelmingly positive about the news of the Pokemon Sword and Shield Expansion Pass.
Many thanked Game Freak for making the new content as DLC, instead of making an all-new entry similar to what they did with Pokemon Sun/Moon and Pokemon Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon.
Some even claimed they cried the moment it was announced.
Check out all their comments as translated by NintendoHill below:
