A Pokemon Presents event is tentatively scheduled for February 28, 2024, raising questions about a potential Gen X announcement. However, there has been no information so far to indicate such a thing will be happening.

Gen IX in Scarlet and Violet has only recently concluded, and there are still rumors about a new Mythical Pocket Monster to be added to the titles that are making the rounds on social media platforms.

Moreover, each Pokemon generation usually has more than just the standalone main-series titles. For example, Gen III had the LeafGreen and FireRed games alongside the Hoenn-based titles, Gen VI had Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Gen VIII had the Sinnoh remakes and Legends: Arceus, and so on.

Considering this, even though the announcement of Gen X Pokemon titles might be a farfetched aspiration at this point, the upcoming Pokemon Presents may very well announce a new game. There have been rumors and community demands for a game based in Unova.

The Indigo Disk's return to the Gen V region as well as reports of a Game Freak Unreal Engine job posting, hint at the possibility of something like this being on the cards.

u/iKontact took to the Pokemon subreddit to speculate about the possibility of Gen X Pokemon titles on Pokemon Day 2024, and the conclusion will disappoint you if you came here looking for an affirmative response. The Redditor concluded that new Generations usually come out once every three years. The average interval between remakes is approximately 5.5 years.

u/Doubledogdad23 added to this, saying that each generation of Nintendo consoles also has only one remake. Although there is no strict rule regarding this, the pattern does stand.

Considering all of this, it is highly unlikely that Gen X Pokemon titles or remakes of old games will be announced during Pokemon Day 2024.
