Pokémon Presents comes at the right time
With the release window creeping nearer, it is likely that the DLC will make an appearance in the upcoming Pokémon Presents event. Thus far, we know thatThe Teal Maskwill take players to the Kitakami region as part of a school trip. Somenew Pokémon have been showcased, including a trio consisting of a dog-like creature called Okidogi, a monkey-like critter called Munkidori, and a bird Pokemon called Fezandipiti.
There are a couple of spin-off titles that could also make an appearance.Detective Pikachu Returnsis slated for an October 6 release. It will serve as the sequel to 2018’sDetective Pikachuwhich spawned a film. Updates and announcements forPokémon Uniteand the recently released spin-offPokémon Sleepcould also pop up.
There is also plenty going on in the world ofPokémon TCG. TheupcomingObsidian Flamesexpansioncould show up, though it is far more likely that thePokémon 151andClassicexpansions will get the spotlight. These highly anticipated expansions return to Kanto to showcase the original 151 Pokémon.
Of course, there is every possibility that The Pokémon company could reveal something entirely unexpected. This could include a new remake or Nintendo Switch port, or new spin-off titles. We’ll find out more on August 8.
