In Pokémon Sword/Shield, there is an option in the game settings turn on “casual controls”. The I -game description of this states
This mode makes it easier to play with one hand
Earlier this year, I was gifted with my first child so I often find myself playing games with one hand. When I enabled this setting, a majority of the controls seemed somewhat the same.
So what are the differences in casual controls and regular controls?
1 Answer
Casual Controls allow you to play with single JoyCon, be it right or left.
- Right stick can move both character and menu
- Arrow buttons are turned into action buttons. UP is X, DOWN is B, LEFT is Y, RIGHT is A
- Right stick click will work as whistling
In both modes R/L and ZL/ZR works as accept button in most menus. Only downside of enabling Casual Controls I have noticed is loss of "D pad" for browsing menu.
Casual Mode affect Pro Controller as well as JoyCon halves, it is safe to assume all controller types are affected.
