The Pokemon Company has established a new Pokemon Works subsidiary, and fans are speculating about what it could mean for the future.
At least at the moment, there’s not much to go on. Pokemon Works is only known to be operating in Shinjuku, and is in the same building as Ilca. Ilca, of course, is behind the Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl Switch remakes, which launched in 2021.
The Pokemon Company and Ilca haven’t seemed to work together on a brand new release since shipping those two titles. However, this new subsidiary could indicate that they’ll be teaming up again in the future. Whether that could lead to additional remakes or something else remains to be seen.
Before the latest Pokemon Presents aired last month, some fans believed that more Pokemon remakes could be coming in the style of Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. However, that didn’t happen in the end. Pokemon Legends: A-Z was the only new project announced, which is coming from mainline developer Game Freak in 2025.
