After months of radio silence, The Pokémon Company's once again dropping all the hottest news in their annual press conference. Between this and the upcoming Sword & Shield Direct next week, it's just in time to drum up hype for E3 season. As of this writing, the press conference isn't on Pokémon's YouTube channel, so here's a link to the Twitch VOD: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/431350217 Let's go through each of the announcements:
In terms of games, they revealed some pretty interesting stuff, though they're all clearly in very early stages of development. The highlights for me are definitely Pokémon Home (because that means I can transfer my Pokémon from my high school days to my Switch) and Pokémon Sleep (which just seems like one of those "so crazy, it just might work" off-the-wall ideas). Sadly, there weren't any groundbreaking spinoff announcements for the Switch (other than Detective Pikachu 2), and I wish Pokémon could ease off the mobile stuff to give us shit like a new Pokémon Ranger or whatever.
Once again, I'm excited for the future of Pokémon, but right now, most of that excitement is because of the upcoming Sword & Shield Direct. This press conference was fine, but it's only the appetizer. Look forward to my blog post on the Direct next week. - end -
