The Pokemon Company’s J.C. Smith has further commented on what’s in store for the series’ future. Early next year, the franchise will be celebrating its 20th anniversary.
Nintendo World Report caught up with Smith at the Pokemon World Championships last weekend. While nothing specific was revealed, he did tease that there could be some big things in store.
Read up on the full exchange below.
NWR: 20 years. February 27th, 2016. What kind of plans you got, other than Pokkén Tournament?
JS: [Laughs] Wish I could tell you but I can’t!
NWR: Are there big plans for it?
JS: There’s always big plans for it. And obviously, you’re seeing some big product stuff for it that’s been announced that’s exciting for the year and we always want to keep fans on their toes, but nothing I can reveal at this time.
NWR: Are we going to hear more soon? I know CoroCoro is talking about some stuff that’s going to get revealed soon. Maybe involving a green blob…
JS: [Laughs] CoroCoro – I love ‘em! Maybe…
NWR: Might hear something in three weeks?
JS: We’ll keep you on your toes!
NWR: Might see one of those minute-long trailers with the green blob and a new Zygarde form?
JS: [Laughs] You ask good questions. Nothing I can say.
NWR: So nothing on Pokémon XZ, YZ, X2, Y2? Because, it would be real nice if something came out next February!
JS: I appreciate your enthusiasm and you ask a lot of good questions but nothing I can reveal at this time.
