Pokémon Games in 2024: What to Expect
Pokémon fans, get ready! The year 2024 promises exciting adventures, new creatures, and epic battles. As we gear up for the next wave of Pokémon games, let’s dive into what awaits us in this pixelated wonderland.
1. Pokémon Presents 2024: A Sneak Peek
On February 27, 2024, Pokémon Day will be celebrated with a bang. The annual Pokémon Presents showcase will air at 6 am PT/9 am ET on YouTube1. While the exact details remain shrouded in mystery, we know this event will spill the beans on upcoming titles. Will it be a new generation? A spin-off? Or perhaps an unexpected twist? Buckle up, trainers!
2. The Gen 10 Countdown
Pokémon generations follow a rhythm. Every few years, a fresh batch of games transports us to uncharted territories. Gen 7 brought us the Alola region with Pokémon Sun and Moon in 2016. Gen 8 whisked us away to the Galar region with Pokémon Sword and Shield in 2019. Now, Gen 9—Pokémon Scarlet and Violet—has been our companion since November 20222. But what about Gen 10?
Prediction Alert: Based on the three-year gap between generations, we’re eyeing November 22, 2025, for Gen 10’s grand entrance. However, this isn’t etched in stone. The success of Scarlet and Violet might sway the timeline. Will we explore a new region? Catch never-before-seen Pokémon? Only time (and Professor Oak) will tell.
3. The Quiet Before the Storm
2023 was a tranquil year for Pokémon. After the whirlwind of Scarlet, Violet, and Pokémon Legends: Arceus in 2022, we needed a breather. But 2024? Brace yourselves! The calm waters hint at a storm brewing. Could it be a new Pokémon Legends game? Remakes of Pokémon Black and White? Or perhaps a fresh mainline adventure? The Pokéball is in Game Freak’s court3.
4. Pokémon World Championships 2024
Honolulu, Hawaii, is the stage for the 2024 Pokémon World Championships. While the exact dates are hush-hush, we’re expecting epic battles, electrifying strategies, and Pikachu doing its victory dance. Whether you’re a seasoned trainer or a Poké-noob, this event promises thrills and surprises4.
So there you have it—a glimpse into the Pokémon universe of 2024. Whether you’re a Pokémaster or a fledgling Pidgey, keep your Pokéballs close and your Pokédex ready. Adventure awaits! 🌟🔥🌟
