Pokémon Sword & Shield will be released for the Nintendo Switch on November 15th. Pokémon Sword & Shield isn't likely to go in a story direction as dark as that, so Zacian will probably have a better time in its debut game than Sif did. The story of Artorias and Sif in the lore of Dark Souls is a tragic one that results in a battle with a pet who is fighting to protect the grave of its master.
Location: Undead Burg Loot: Drake Sword (. the first optional boss of all dark souls bosses - Hellkite Dragon. This boss fight is not optional: he must be defeated in order to be able to progress to the Undead Settlement. Referred to as a 'Dog' by Emma, he guards the path to Undead Settlement. Zacian's design is distinct enough in order to prevent any plagiarism accusations, which is likely why Bandai Namco is joking about the Pokémon on Twitter, rather than calling its lawyers. Hellkite Dragon / The Bridge Wyvern (Optional). Vordt of the Boreal Valley is a Boss in Dark Souls 3. The design of Zacian has to be a nod to Sif, as it's unlikely that no one on the Game Freak staff would have missed its resemblance to such a famous boss monster.
The player needs to slay Sif in order to proceed in Dark Souls, which results in one of the most heartbreaking battles in the game. Sif can be found in the Darkroot Garden, where it guards the grave of its former friend - Artorias. Great Grey Wolf Sif is a massive wolf that carries a sword between its teeth.
