If you’re looking for exciting updates about soon-to-be-released Pokémon games or titles already in circulation, the latest Pokémon Presents took place on August 18, 2021. And fortunately, it was a veritable smorgasbord of exciting information. Read on to find out what was revealed!
Pokémon Legends: Arceus
Adventure through the Sinnoh region of the past—before it was even called Sinnoh. Many years ago, the land was called the Hisui region, and that is the setting of Pokémon Legends: Arceus, scheduled for release on January 28, 2022. Visit Jubilife Village, join the Galaxy Expedition Team, and embark on survey outings across the Hisui region. Discover and catch new Pokémon—like Hisuian Growlithe, Hisuian Braviary, Wyrdeer, and Basculegion—to complete the Hisui region’s first Pokédex.
Pokémon Legends: Arceus is available for preorder on Nintendo eShop starting August 18, 2021. For more details, visit the Pokémon Legends: Arceus official site.
Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Pokémon Shining Pearl
The original Sinnoh adventure is reborn with the November 19, 2021, release of Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Pokémon Shining Pearl. Meet Professor Rowan, get ready to go toe-to-toe with the villainous Team Galactic, and explore the Grand Underground sprawling far and wide beneath the Sinnoh region.
Look forward to exciting Super Contest Shows, in which your Pokémon can dance to the rhythm of the music, show off a cool move, and aim for a successful show. Or head to the Union Room to battle and trade with other Trainers. You can also change into your favorite fashions, walk with your partner Pokémon, and customize your Capsule Decoration!
