It has been 2 years since the Pokemon franchise released their mainline game, Pokemon Sword and Shield back in November 2019.  Fans can only wait for more details on how they will make the next mainline game more exciting than its predecessor.

In the meantime, we can still play most of the updated games announced during the Pokemon Day event. The newest addition to the franchise is Pokemon Legends: Arceus, a different take on how to interact in the Pokemon world. It has gotten a lot of positive reviews by allowing trainers to explore the vast world of Hisui Region, letting the trainers experience exploring an open world setting of Pokemon.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet is the only confirmed game to be released according to Pokemon Presents. Detective Pikachu 2 was also announced to be still in development. The Pokemon Company does not disappoint Pokefans on their timeline of game releases. It’s as if Pokemon is really already a part of our life.
