As is now tradition, The Pokémon Company came on February 27 to take stock of the Pokémon license. A symbolic date, which marks the anniversary of the release of
Pokémon Red and Green in Japan, 28 years ago. Between the usual communications regarding Pokémon GO or Pokémon Unite, and two new titles not previously announced, today’s presentation was ultimately very light. Only 12 minutes of presentation, but still quite revealing on the franchise’s strategy for the coming months. We take stock of the Pokémon Day 2024 announcements.
All today’s announcements
The usual Pokémon franchises
- 3 special Tera Raids, against Charizard, Tortank and Florizarre are organized on Pokémon Scarlet and Purple to celebrate Pokémon Day.
- Pokémon GO celebrate the arrival of the new anime
Horizons, with the arrival of an exclusive caped Pikachu. The world was missing a caped Pikachu. - Pokémon Sleep still exists, and will welcome Raikou, Entei and Suicune. So far everything is normal, we go through the games, and rather quickly.
- Already 4 and a half years for Pokémon Masters EXalso shipped in a few seconds with its new update.
- The overview would not be complete without Pokémon Café Remixwho also has the right to his event.
- Finally, Pokémon Unite his new fighters. Miraidon, who arrived today, but also Hexadron and Malvalame
Pokémon TCG Pocket, to have cards in your phone
You don’t have the means to maintain your Pokémon card collection with soaring prices and all the scalpers? Well Pokémon thought of you, in a way that no one saw coming. Here is Pokémon Pocketan app that will allow you to collect all the Pokémon cards since the first set in 1999, and new cards.
We therefore see the possibility of opening boosters and exchanging them with other players. And to have 2 free boosters per day. Released somewhere in 2024 on iOS and Android, and we’ll be lucky to have no mention of NFT, because clearly it must have been considered at one point.
And finally, the return of Legends
Everyone was waiting for a remake of Black and whitebut instead we will have the right to the return of Pokémon Legends with Pokémon Legends ZA. Which will take place this time in the region of Kalos, land of Pokémon X and Y. Not much more to say, since the trailer only showed some concept art, and the notion of living in harmony with Pokémon. Mega-Evolution will obviously be there, and we hope for gameplay that attempts things like in Pokemon Legends Arceus.
Release scheduled for 2025, so there is plenty of time to wait to find out more. But we will still appreciate the fact that Pokémon is taking its time, and not releasing any major games this year. So it’s possible to stop releasing games every year.
