As the franchise celebrates its 29th anniversary today, The Pokemon Company CEO Tsunekazu Ishihara has reflected on the future. This comes as part of an interview with BBC.
Pokemon has maintained its popularity since its Japanese debut in 1996. Even over the past few years, it’s clear that interest isn’t waning. We’ve seen the smash hit that was Pokemon GO, the craze over Pokemon cards, and the dedicated video games are still selling incredibly well.
Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet have announced not one, but three upcoming Tera Raid Battles with Meowscarada, Skelidirge, and Quaquaval.
All three will be showing up in 7 Star Raids. Additionally, they’ll come with the Mightiest Mark. Each of these Pokemon can be caught once per save file.
A year after it was announced, Pokemon Legends Z-A has finally reemerged. The game was just highlighted on Pokemon Presents 2025, an annual showcase that celebrates the franchise’s anniversary with the latest news and announcements.
Chikorita, Tepig, Totodile are the starters this time. Wild zones set up that give Pokémon habitats where they can thrive. Catching Pokemon works similarly to how things were in Pokemon Legends: Arceus. However, there’s a new style of battling – moves can have a shorter or longer reach as well as a different area of effect. Also, as previously teased, Mega Evolution is included.
During a Pokemon Presents presentation today, a brand new game was announced titled Pokemon Champions. It will be available on Nintendo Switch and mobile via iOS and Android.
Pokemon Champions is a new battle-focused game. Connectivity is supported with Pokemon Home, meaning you’ll be able to team up with creatures who’ve joined you in previous titles.
