Pokémon Presents announced for February 27th (14:00 UTC, 25 minutes long)
- Thread starter --R
- Start date
Pokken is not really a big enough thing that it needs to be saved for the Switch 2. If a Switch 2 is coming later into next year, I could easily see a Pokken game being one of the final late life Switch titles and getting like 6 months of DLC before the Switch 2 comes out.
I don't really think it's super likely to begin with, but I don't think it's a big enough title to expect it on future hardware like we would a 3D Mario title or the next mainline Pokemon games.
So 25 minutes?
Start with showing the look at how cool Pokémon is for 3 minutes, before a producer comes on to introduce the next part. We'll hear how awesome SV sold and a thank you.
Update on the special events in the mobile cooking game thing and whatever new cell phone thing they want to push.
Hear about Pokémon Home and get a date for SV, most likely same day. Hear about dates for NSO releases of Stadium and TCG if they arn't released on Pokémon day. No word on other GB or GBA games.
Chunk of Pokémon Unite another stat about how many people have played it and news about new Pokémon getting added.
SV DLC title and a brief little message about what will be in it and the mysteries we'll encounter. Specific and not art or pictures of what Pokémon will be in it. General season of when it will come out.
End with a trailer of Mystery Dungeon and a mention of a holiday release.

I fucking wish, but I guess I'll settle for an Explorers remake
It's less that it's big enough to be saved for later & more of me expecting Detective Pikachu 2 to be that last somewhat-major spin-off to close out the Switch 1's life.
I hope the SV DLC is good. I've enjoyed the game a lot and I want more (and better, cause better is way possible).
And please, make a new Pokémon Pinball (and add to NSO the original one!).

But they didn't do that with the SwSh DLC, right? So I'd say that's not a given at all.
They did do a new cart for SWSH + expac, it was just 90 dollars combining the cost for both
My expectations for Scarlet/Violet DLC:
multiple new areas to explore
Free update with some sort of battle facility shadowdropped in the late Feb patch
deeper dive into the Area zero lore and story(and hopefully continuing the character stories for the main squad since they're the best pokemon characters)
A ton of competitive QOL
Some new raid thing or more battle facilities in the paid DLC as well(think Dynamax adventures and restricted sparring)
I expect roughly 300 returning mons when all is said and done(all transferrable and tradeable without DLC as well)

Now I do expect dlc for the new games, but given they haven't really worked for me, what I want to see here strangely enough is rereleases. Specifically the first three generations, though gen 1 and 2 are a start.
With the closure of the online store on the 3ds that's going to put us back to prior to their VC releases, that's something quite unfortunate.
I really hope if they do this they don't make it a paid membership deal, and instead make them purchasable, maybe a bonus of home? Wishful thinking, perhaps.
The only other thing I want, which I'm confident won't come this year is something in Johto. It's the only region besides gen 5 not in 3D, and most in need of expanding. Though I will say, with how much I generally dislike modern Pokémon game design philosophy, I don't even know if i'll like such a game.

... why is that a bad thing?
It's obviously a good thing to support the game with more content, as they've been doing for others.
For me, there's nothing they can do to make it a good game. Unless the DLC drastically changes it from the ground up. I'd rather they switch focus to something else.
Putting aside the glitches and tech issues, it seems to be the best received game in years. Definitely won't be switching focus.
Please give me Pokémon games on NSO for GB and GBA. Even if gen 2 and gen 3 don't launch immediately, I'll take gen 1.
Also, would be cool if somehow they make Stadium work the Pokémon games for transfer.

I wonder how many Pokémon they're going to cut this time.
Because some people don't like Scarlet and Violet?

SV is leagues better than PLA imo, literally the only thing PLA has on it is performance. But to each their own
Legends wasn't very good either. But it had a more interesting concept. And was just different enough to hold things together. S/V just didn't work at any level for me.
Which is fine.
But it's only been out three months lol. There's no world where they just "move to something else."
If there's a new Mystery Dungeon on the way I hope it's an actual new one. As great as the Explorers games are, I want another MD that features Pokemon up to the latest generation, because truth be told I missed out on Gates to Infinity and Super. The former's negative reception made me skip it and I couldn't get the latter because my 3DS broke.
My predictions:
- New Mystery Dungeon Game
- Pokemon Pinball remaster + collection (GB + GBA games together?!)
- Let's Go Johto teaser (never gonna happen but I want it so badly)
- R/B + Crystal come to NSO
- DLC for Scarlet + Violet
- New Mystery Dungeon Game
- Pokemon Pinball remaster + collection (GB + GBA games together?!)
- Let's Go Johto teaser (never gonna happen but I want it so badly)
- R/B + Crystal come to NSO
- DLC for Scarlet + Violet
thats fair, like I said to each their own. SV is probably my favorite pokemon game, and it would be outright number 1 with some performance fixes, but DLC can get it there for me anyway, but I get if they didn't work for you
It's a very relaxing game and not having random encounters was amazing and I can't go back to them.
This presents won't be for you then. I'm sure there'll be plenty of things that will please (S/V) fans
Is it bad that I'm more excited about the potential NSO launch of the Gen 1-3 games than I am new mainline games/DLC at this point? I liked S/V enough, but the performance soured me to the point where I'm looking forward to replaying the classics.
That being said, a new Legends game would be great.

Not expecting much here. Probably the usual updates on Go/Café Mix/Unite/Master Sex, DLC for Scarlet/Violet, and hopefully deets on the Switch port of Detective Pikachu and info on Detective Pikachu 2.
I don't think we're getting a new RPG, though I'll still light a candle for Let's Go Johto.
