Pokemon’s Unprecedented Announcement May Be a Sign of Something Big

by

It’s possible that the latest reveal, Pokemon Presents, might hide more than we initially think, as it represents an unconventional debut within the Pokemon series. Although it may appear straightforward in terms of what the presentation could cover, its early disclosure could hint at significant updates coming for Pokemon enthusiasts.

On May 28th, it was disclosed that a “Pokemon Presents” event will take place on July 22nd, which is approximately two months from now. At first glance, this news might not seem particularly exciting. After all, a new Pokemon game is imminent. However, when considering the past pattern of Pokemon Presents announcements, it becomes apparent that this one could be distinctive. Usually, these presentations are announced no more than a few weeks before the event itself. The fact that this announcement was made so far in advance implies that significant news may be forthcoming. It seems likely that the Pokemon Presents will discuss details about “Pokemon Legends: Z-A,” but the early notification suggests that fans should keep this date marked, as there’s a possibility that information about the 10th generation games might also be unveiled.

What to Expect From the July 22nd Pokemon Presents

Historically, Pokémon Presents events have disclosed details about new games, DLC, mobile titles, and more, implying that the forthcoming event may not solely focus on a single game. However, since Pokémon Legends: Z-A now has an official release date, it’s highly probable that we will receive updates regarding it. It’s also likely that other popular Pokémon games like Pokémon GO and Pokémon TCG Pocket, which have been among the series’ most successful non-console titles, might be included in the event as well.

In previous events, announcements about Pokemon games have ranged from minor updates like introducing new boosters for Pokemon TCG Pocket, to major announcements such as the unveiling of new mainline titles. These presentations typically save their biggest news for last, often a new game reveal or trailer for an upcoming title. For example, the last two Pokemon Presents ended with trailers for Pokemon Legends: Z-A, so it’s possible that the July 22nd presentation could also conclude with a new mega evolution reveal. However, fans are anticipating news about existing games and The Pokemon Company likes to keep its audience guessing. Given this pattern and the significant gap between generations 9 and 10, it’s speculated that the showcase might unveil a new trailer for Pokemon Legends: Z-A towards the end, but not necessarily as the final announcement, leaving a teaser for generation 10 at the very end to keep fans on their toes.

What Could be Revealed About Pokemon’s 10th Generation

In the current age of gaming updates and sneak peeks, game developers are consistently racing against leakers to unveil their major announcements first. However, there have been numerous leaks regarding the upcoming Pokemon generation. As these leaks are yet to be confirmed, they should be met with caution. If accurate, it’s probable that any leaked details will eventually surface, as fans have already formed expectations. The recent leaks about the next Pokemon game hint towards a setting inspired by a Greek archipelago, which has raised concerns due to potential similarities with Pokemon’s 3rd generation controversy. If this location is disclosed during the Pokemon Presents, we can only hope that additional information will be shared on how it will differ from Hoenn’s archipelago.

Apart from a brief sneak peek, it’s unlikely that a complete trailer will be released for the upcoming games. If we’re fortunate, the official titles may be disclosed, and if we’re exceptionally lucky, we might catch a glimpse of the starting trio. There’s been a lot of excitement about the next game, even before it’s been officially announced, so it would also benefit The Pokemon Company to share how generation 10 will build upon the successes and lessons learned from Scarlet and Violet. However, all this is merely speculation at the moment. Fans can tune in to the next Pokemon Presents on July 22nd to discover what’s ahead.
