    I haven’t been following, is it expected they will announce the leaked “wind/wave” projects, likely for a November ‘26 release?

    My money is on them creating a montage of the history of pokemon from then to now, making us think they’ll release ports of the first few generations on Switch only to not announce that.

    It is **FINALLY** time for the classics games on NSO? Given they waited until the 20th anniversary for the 3DS VC. I’d expect it to happen now.

    I can’t wait for the inevitable disappointment.

    Good news though, big fans of the mobile games are gonna be eating good.

    I’ve tried many times to get into modern pokemon but I just get bored and don’t finish any of the games I end up buying. I haven’t really finished a pokemon game since ORAS and even that, I took a really long break from. But they’re really coming for my nostalgic attachment with that Pikachu animation. Always thought the old water color art style from Pokemon Red and Blue was peak, real shame they gradually moved away from it after Gold and Silver. I was hopeful this animation was teasing a return to that style in some form, but then Pikachu transformed back into his boring flat colors at the end, so it’s just another “Look at how we’ve changed” thing.

    Damn I didn’t realise it was that soon!

    Fingers crossed for rumored OG Pokemon games coming to switch online or sold as a bumper pack

    Red & Blue remakes in Ken Sugimori art style? (let me dream pls)

    Oh cool. Now all those gen 1 and gen 2 games that should’ve been on the Switch eShop back in 2018 will finally be uploaded

    oh wow, what is the most profitable gaming franchise going to bring us, and why do I feel like I’m going to be incredibly underwhelmed. (perhaps it was because they were bragging about how little they had to invest into making their games with how much profit they were making)

    Im sure we’ll get a teaser for gen 10 but anyone think they will announce a 3rd pair of gen 1 remakes?

    Cant wait to get that 10% off Scarlett and Violet digital copy only.

    We’ll get a montage slide show of the show/movies and games with a thank you. Then something like if you go to the museum in Japan they’ll have special merchandise or a collectible ticket. I personally wouldn’t get my hopes up.

  13. Excited for my yearly birthday disappointment. (My birthday is on February 27)

    And we still won’t get gen 1 or 2 on NSO.

    Not that I’d be able to bear playing them with the crap border you can’t remove for some inexplicable reason.

    At this point I’d actually be fine if they released all the classics for sale on the store instead of on the NSO apps.

    The same bad quality/slop as every year. Pokémon games really need new devs.
