One of the Pokemon Presents announcements just leaked a few hours before the event. A novelty that may attract fans of Teracrystal raids.
The week is off to a good start for trainers with the release of a new Pokemon Presents. A conference of about thirty minutes which should bring very good news for the players. One of the surprises also seems to have been revealed a little too early by Nintendo.
Pokemon Presents August 2023 announcement leaked
Eager to discover the next pokemon Presents and future revelations around the franchise? See you this Tuesday, August 8 at 3:00 p.m. to follow the event on the official YouTube channel. The conference should be quite dense and will last 35 minutes. Logically, we should finally have news of the extension The Buried Treasure of Zone Zero which contains two DLCs of Pokemon Scarlet and Purple. THE ” Turquoise Mask ” and the “ Indigo Disc “. A release date? Players are waiting for this!
But according to a Japanese Nintendo Switch Online advertisement, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will above all lift the veil on a 7-star Mewto Teracrystal Raid. An addition that had already been spotted by dataminers in July 2023, and which seems to be verified today. For those unfamiliar with the game, Teracrystal Raids are activities that are unlocked with Crystals picked up in the Paldea region. These allow you to encounter rarer Pokemon in order to obtain more unusual and therefore greater rewards. The higher the rarity of a raid, the better the loot is likely to be.
With 7 stars on the counter, that of Mewto would thus be one of the biggest in the game. Mewto, the legendary pokemon well known to fans of the license and above all extremely powerful, will keep its Psy type during Teracrystallization. Suffice to say that his skills will hurt a lot.
The first info on the expansion divided into two DLCs
As said above, information on Pokemon Scarlet and Violet DLCs is scant. Nevertheless, the official site contains descriptions for each of them. “The Turquoise Mask” will take players to the very Japanese village of Septentria. “Your trip seems to coincide with an annual festival held in the village of Septentria. The latter is animated by the arrival of many street vendors for the occasion. You’ll meet new people and new Pokémon while unraveling the mystery of the popular tales of this place”.
In “The Indigo Disc”, the trainers will take part in a school exchange with the Myrtille Institute. “Unlike your academy, which has a long and rich history, the Blueberry Institute is relatively young, and its program emphasizes Pokémon battles. The most surprising aspect of this school comes from the fact that a large part of the establishment is under the ocean. You will attend class, interact with local students and experience school life at this quirky academy”.
Apart from this extension, several announcements are expected for mobile games Pokemon Sleep, GB and Pokemon Unite. With luck, Detective Pikachu Returns (Detective Pikachu 2), which will be released on October 6, 2023 on Nintendo Switch, will also be at the event.
