Pokemon GO
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet can now also connect with Pokemon GO, allowing you to send Postcards from the mobile game to the Nintendo Switch titles. The Postcards’ location data will affect the pattern of Vivillon that appear in Scarlet and Violet. Sending Postcards also opens up the opportunity to catch Roaming Form Gimmighoul in Pokemon GO. When Pokemon HOME support is added to Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet early this year, you’ll be able to bring the Roaming Form Gimmighoul that you’ve caught in Pokemon GO into your Paldean adventure.
Pokemon Sleep
On this February 2023 Pokemon Presents Recap, we take note of the long-awaited details for Pokemon Sleep are finally here and we get to see how the game is after years of being put on the sidelines. Pokemon Sleep is a mobile game that rewards you for getting a good night's sleep – definitely a first for most players in this category. The app measures, records, and analyzes your sleep and gamifying it together with Pokemon. Pokemon who tend to sleep in the same way will make themselves seen on your app. The game encourages you to research different kinds of sleep styles of various Pokemon that will be included in the game. This probably makes Pokemon Fans more excited as they will now get to play a Pokemon game even while they sleep!
The Pokemon Go Plus + has also been introduced during this February 2023 Pokemon Presents. This accessory can be used with Pokemon GO and Pokemon Sleep. It's a small Poke Ball-shaped device that you can leave on your pillow at night to help you with Pokemon Sleep or carry in a bag during the day to catch Pokemon automatically with Pokemon GO.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet New Paradox Pokemon
Brand new Paradox Pokemon are making their way to Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. Walking Wake is a Paradox Pokemon exclusive to Pokemon Scarlet and is reminiscent of the current time's legendary Pokemon Suicune while Iron Leaves is a Paradox Pokemon exclusive to Pokemon Violet is the current time's legendary Pokemon Virizion.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet DLC
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will be getting its first DLC called The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero. The first part of this DLC is called “The Teal Mask” which will be released in Fall 2023 while the second part is called The Indigo Disk” and will be released by Winter 2023.
The First Part of the DLC will take players to the land of Kitakami as part of a school trip while in the Second Part of the DLC, players will be exchange students at Blueberry Academy. Legendary Pokemon called Ogrepon and Terapagos will be introduced in the DLC so that's something that everyone should watch out for in the upcoming DLC. The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero will be available to pre-order in the Nintendo eShop within the day.
The Catch?
It's a little disappointing that we didn't get to hear news about a new Pokemon Legends game or a new Pokemon mainline game but seeing that the DLC has great content but be enough for this year's latest Pokemon Presents that coincides with Pokemon Day 2023. We hope to hear also about the development of Pokemon Trading Card Online Live as well as Pokemon Anime's direction with the expectation of Ash Ketchum and Pikachu exiting the main show sometime soon. It is nice that we did get a lot of freebies for Pokemon Day 2023 like the Pokemon UNITE Code, Pokemon Masters EX freebies, as well as the Pokemon Cafe ReMix freebies.
In summary, we are getting a lot of great things from this February 2023 Pokemon Presents Recap. A lot of exciting Pokemon Day 2023 Freebies with Pokemon UNITE Gift Code for Zacian items and Pokemon Cafe ReMix Freebies, as well as Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's upcoming DLC, are now available.
Well, as much as we would like to share, all we can do now is to wait again for the next Pokemon Presents and see where our desires will take us to. Of course, regardless of what announcements were and were not made, we are all happy to be celebrating another year into a beloved franchise as big as Pokemon.
