What to expect
Unfortunately, The Pokémon Company was light on giving any real hints as to what we’ll see during this Nintendo Direct-like presentation. But if this showcase falls in line with previous Pokémon Presents live streams, then we can expect it to give us an overview of all the big Pokémon titles coming out this year. Currently, we don’t know if any brand-new Pokémon games are launching in 2023; if there aren’t, then hopefully we’ll see some DLC forPokémon Scarlet and Violet.
Some leaks may have also spoiled some of the Pokémon Presents’ surprises.Leakers have found datafor more new Pokémon forms that could potentially come toScarletandVioletvia updates. Meanwhile,fans found mention of Spike Chunsoftin the new Pokémon Together website’s source code, so it seems likely that a new Pokémon Mystery Dungeon from that developer is coming soon. Regardless of what’s actually announced, February 27 is shaping up to be a really exciting day for Pokémon fans.
