So figure I'll make a post about this, especially as the Pokémon community is going nuts without learning context or remembering that there's more to Pokémon than just main series reveals

On New Years Eve, there will be a livestream from the Kibo Space Module on the International Space Station which comes in three components

The first is a discussion with a Astronaut Noguchi where kids can connect via a video call to talk to the astronauts and see the ISS.

The second is a New Years Eve Countdown sponsored by Coca Cola with a view from the module towards space and the planet

The third component is the Pokémon one. To kick off 2021, there will be a new form of entertainment experience utilising AR featuring the planet and various Pokémon. Tsunekazu Ishihara says about how Space is an intriguing theme for all generations and that it was a dream project.

Rayquaza and Deoxys coming to obliterate Earth in VR would be a fitting bookend to 2020/lead-in to 2021.

Sounds fun! Doubt they will announce any games, sounds like a side project.

no you see Palkia represents Space and thus they'll clearly rope the ISS into announcing Diamond/Pearl remakes
