Update 2: Clarified that, unfortunately, online is not present. We’ve updated our second post as such.
Update: Initial reports regarding online not being present entirely were possibly incorrect, so we’ve removed it from this post – see here for an update and more details.
Original: After the announcement of Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Pokemon: Let’s Go, Eevee! at the Pokemon press conference in Japan, a Q&A was held with the developers and other representatives. Here’s a summary of what was shared:
Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu and Pokemon: Let’s Go, Eevee are the primary Pokemon titles on Switch this year. But as was announced tonight, a core RPG is also slated for the second half of 2019.
During tonight’s Pokemon press conference, it was mentioned that the 2019 title will be “in the style of X and Y and Sun and Moon”. That’s somewhat in contrast to the Let’s Go! games, which appear to be aimed at a broad audience and are “a core RPG for everyone”.
Pokemon CEO Tsunekazu Ishihara also confirmed that the upcoming 2019 game will be entirely new – not an upgrade. Next year’s releases will be more about handheld elements.
Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Pokemon: Let’s Go, Eevee! are primarily focused on the first 151 Pokemon. However, there was a special Pokemon referenced at the end of today’s trailer. The Pokemon Company has confirmed that this is referring to a Pokemon never seen before.
We have a number of new images for Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Pokemon: Let’s Go, Eevee!, including screenshots, art and more. Here’s the full set:
Pokemon Quest was only just announced today. Despite that, the free-to-play is now available to download.
You can nab Pokemon Quest from the eShop, though you may have to search for it. The file size is 221MB.
The Pokemon Company has delivered a few screenshots from Pokemon Quest. We have them in the gallery below.
