It has been a year and a half since the release of ‘Pokémon Scarlet/Purple‘ and fans are nervously biting their nails waiting for the next step in the saga, since there is still nothing announced about it… And rarely have we found ourselves in this situation where there is not a single title on the poke-horizon beyond the typical updates of ‘Pokémon Go’ or ‘Pokémon Sleep’. And now, what?
The Poke-Rumors
For now, we will have to wait until February, more specifically the 27th. That is, the Pokémon Day, a day that is traditionally recognized for providing all kinds of information about the future of the franchise. Of course, this has not prevented fans from speculating and looking for hidden messages where there may not be any, given that the epilogue of the last game will be released on January 11th.
The most shared theory, especially because some data has already been leaked about it, is that the next main game would be developed in the future of Unova and would be set in the future. It is worth noting that the ninth generation of Pokémon has benefited greatly from switching between past and future, so it wouldn’t be crazy for them to continue with this type of storyline games to avoid falling into routine.
The other rumored game would be set in Johto and would take place in the past, a way to bring back a perfect region for nostalgic players (those from ‘Gold/Silver’) with a new twist so that new players can also enjoy it. In any case, there is a future ahead for Pokémon, at least intriguing. Get ready with your pokéballs, because it’s coming. And it’s definitely coming.
