Today is Pokémon Day 2024, and that means a brand new Pokémon Presents, giving us new information for the year ahead across the Pokémon franchise. We’ll break it down into a few sections, with Pokémon GO up first as it is the most relevant to our readers. Hype!
Pokémon GO
In Pokémon GO news, we got the exciting reveal that a new collaboration will be happening between the Pokémon Horizons series, with Pikachu wearing Cap’s Hat making their debut in game, knowing the new move Volt Tackle.
Charcadet, Ceruledge and Armarouge are also slated to debut in GO soon, with Liko and Roy, the new protagonists of Pokémon Horizons, appearing via Snapshots in game.
We’ll share more on this event in a dedicated article posted ASAP.
A Pokémon Day celebration event is taking place, with the Kanto Starters will be back with their Party Hat costumes, along with Pikachu and Eevee! This is starting with immediate effect for the next 24 hours.
Pokémon Main Series
Pokémon Legends AZ
A brand new game has been announced for 2025, Pokémon Legends AZ! It will focus on Lumiose City, and the teaser video had a really unusual art style. Interestingly right at the end of the video the Mega Evolve symbol was shown… Mega Pokémon making a comeback?!
While the last Legends game journeyed into the past, with the art style shown, it appears this could be a trip into the future, to a place where Pokémon and humans live in peace in Lumiose City. The City appears to be based in the Kalos region, but the entire game will be focused on the city itself.
Pokémon Scarlet & Violet
A series of Tera Raid Battle events have been announced celebrating the Kanto starter final evolutions, with Venusaur, Blastoise and Charizard in rotation until 17th March 2024.
