Pokemon is no stranger to presentations in June. Over the past few years, we’ve seen Pokemon Presents broadcasts as well as Pokemon Directs. Rumor has it that we’ll be seeing something similar next month once again.

According to Twitter user Kelios, plans are in the works to air a new Pokemon Presents in early June. Fans can apparently expect news on Pokemon Unite as well as the release date for Pokemon Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl.

Kelios accurately predicted a new Pokemon presentation for Pokemon Day back in February and spread the news regarding Pokemon Legends: Arceus just before the official reveal. He was also aware of a Nintendo broadcast last July, which would turn out to be a Nintendo Direct Mini: Partner Showcase.

Thanks to GamesIndustry, we have new insight into the UK gaming market for April 2021.

Switch was the best-selling console of the month. GamesIndustry reports that Nintendo’s platform and the PS5 “are currently neck-and-neck in terms of sales during 2021, with Xbox Series fast catching up.”

The site further adds that Nintendo accounted for almost a third (32.5 percent) of all physical games sold in the UK last month. Switch titles from all publishers made up 49.6 percent of the market. Even though it was only available for two days of the reporting period, New Pokemon Snap was the best-selling game.

New Pokemon Snap

New Pokemon Snap developer Haruki Suzaki has opened up a bit further regarding the origins of New Pokemon Snap.

In an interview with VanGamers, the game’s director was asked how long the project took to develop and how many people worked on it. Suzaki revealed that things initially came to be following the last round of DLC for Pokken Tournament DX – meaning it’s been about three years. There was also “a few hundred people” involved with development.

A rough translation of Suzaki’s comments are below:
