The Pokemon Company will reveal a newPokemongame on June 17, via a Pokémon Presents stream. The stream is coming June 17 at 06:00 PDT.(Click here for a time conversion table).The English tweet from the EnglishPokemonTwitter account only mentionsPokemon"News" is coming:
However, the Japanese version of the tweet and the Japanese version of the YouTube stream both explicitly mention we’ll get a newPokemongame announcement. TheJapanese streamis titled “Pokemon new game announcement Pokémon Presents”.
Moreover, the description indicates the stream will be around 11 minutes long and will also include new information regarding thePokemon Sword and Shield Expansion Pass. The first expansion DLC, titledThe Isle of Armor, was already fully detailed a few days ago. Meaning we should learn more about the second part of the pass,The Crown Tundra, which is planned to launch in âFall 2020â. Thereâs also a promotional stunt going on with the Expansion Pass until August 31: Youâll get a bonus costume by buying it before then.
We have no further details regarding this announcement, so while a new game will be announced, there’s no guarantee it’ll be a Nintendo Switch game. It could be anything, and there are definitely more chances you’ll be disappointed than satisfied. Personally, I’ll be keeping my expectations in check. And I suggest you do the same. I’m definitely not expecting thePokemon Yellowupgrade equivalent ofPokemon Sword and Shieldto be announced here, for example.
