A New Pokémon Presents Airs on August 8th

The Pokémon Company will air a new Pokémon Presents presentation on August 8th at 9 a.m. ET / 6 a.m. PT on its YouTube channel! This presentation will offer a whopping 35 minutes of news and updates. The company released a teaser for the presentation, but it provides little in the way of hints about what’ll be featured.

My money is on this presentation focusing on the upcoming DLC expansions for Scarlet & Violet, The Teal Mask and The Indigo Disk, which are scheduled to arrive sometime later this year. I think it’s safe to expect release dates and more footage on these highly anticipated expansions, and possibly more details on their storylines and catchable ‘mons.

What I’m hoping for, however, is an announcement that Red & Blue or other classic series titles are finally making their way to Nintendo Switch Online. Given Nintendo’s less-than-stellar handling of its older properties, I’m not holding my breath…

Other Poké-projects we might see include updates on or footage from Detective Pikachu Returns (the sequel to 2016’s Detective Pikachu for Nintendo 3DS), Netflix’s Pokémon Concierge, or To Be a Pokémon Master (the conclusion of Ash’s story in Ultimate Journeys, and which is set to air on September 8th).
