It remains to be seen whether a similar announcement will arrive next Monday.
Trainers can also hear about the eventual introduction of Pokemon HOME to Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, which fans have been anticipating for some time now. Beyond the latest mainline titles, Nintendo may also reveal new information and contend for Pokemon GO, Pokemon Unite, Pokemon TCG, and several other titles.
While extremely unlikely, some in the community have also wondered whether Nintendo will use the opportunity to hint at or announce the next introduction to the mainline series. For now, this is merely speculation, with the actual line-up for the Pokemon Presents event on Pokemon Day 2023 remaining shrouded in mystery.
Nintendo recently announced the Mighty Pikachu Seven-Star Tera Raid Battle event for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet trainers to celebrate Pokemon Day 2023. Players can band together against the beloved mascot sporting a Water Tera Type.
