Pokemon Presents was announced this past Thursday, but in a bit of a low-key manner. While we heard about the presentation thanks to an official website in Japan, there was no prior notice in North America and Europe. However, there was a clear reason for this.
The Pokemon Company passed along a statement saying that the new Pokemon Presents “was unable to be postponed”. At the same time, it chose to “significantly reduce the promotion of the event” in light of “major world events happening at this time and those impacted.” While not stated explicitly, we can assume this is related to the Russian attack on Ukraine.
The full statement reads:
The full patch notes are in for Pokemon Legends: Arceus’ new 1.1.0 update. This was just announced today during the Pokemon Presents presentation.
New features are included, but also some fixes as well. Find the full patch notes for the Pokemon Legends: Arceus version 1.1.0 update below.
