Gaming classics hinted ahead of upcoming Pokémon Presents showcase

Pokémon Day 2023 is happening next week and The Pokémon Company has announced a ‘Pokémon Presents’ stream to celebrate. 

What to expect

Not one to spoil a surprise, Pokémon have only said we’ll be getting ‘20 minutes of exciting Pokémon news’.

As to what that could be, they may have given us a clue. The short teaser that accompanies the tweet features sprites for the first 18 Pokémon from Generation 1 (Bulbasaur to Pidgeotto), which COULD be a hint that the original Pokémon games for the Game Boy are coming to Nintendo Switch Online.

It’s probably a safe bet that we’ll get our first look at Scarlet and Violet DLC, as well as updates for Pokémon Go and Pokémon Unite.

Could we also get a new Pokémon Mystery Dungeon announced? Or a much overdue follow up to Let’s Go Pikachu/Eevee for the Johto region? More of a long shot for sure.

When to watch

Stay up late and catch it live, Tuesday 28th Feb at 1:00 am AEDT on Pokemon’s official channels.
