The game seemingly has a Pokémon Presents related campaign scheduled to begin on August 8th.
Yeah same.Saw folks talking about that, but I didn't realize it literally says Pokemon Presents in the code lol.
They needed another trailer before the Teal Mask releases (assuming it's in the September/October range), the World Championships are coming soon, Pokemon UNITE is having it's second anniversary, and Pokemon SLEEP just released. I think the timing makes sense considering all the stuff they have cooking right now.Pokemon usually has a presentation around August. But given the last Direct already had Pokemon stuff in it, it seemed a bit unlikely this year to me.
There will probably also be something for Pokemon GO, as the GO fest is also in August.So Pokemon Masters would obviously be discussed, but what else could they talk about that are known quantities? SV DLC got detailed in the June Direct, they got a bunch of mobile games between Cafe, Unite, Sleep, and Smile. Maybe more detailed info on Detective Pikachu 2? Would they actually address the Pokemon games on NSO (whether RBY/GSC/Stadium 2)?
...how the hell did I forget about Go I was just playing it not even four hours ago!There will probably also be something for Pokemon GO, as the GO fest is also in August.
I could maybe see something about Stadium 2, but at this point I don't think the GB/GBA games are coming to NSO. The Pokemon Company likely doesn't want to give up the revenue they could get selling them on the eShop.
You would hope, and I wouldn't be surprised if they do connect to the NSO Stadiums. HOME is almost guaranteed given the 3DS ones connected to Bank....how the hell did I forget about Go I was just playing it not even four hours ago!
I don't doubt there is that potential for revenue to sell it individually, but if that were the path they chose could they still talk about it by now? I'd certainly hope that if they thought they could make a few bucks off a specialized emulator wrapped around these ROMs, they'd add value by ensuring compatibility with the relevant Pokemon games on N64 NSO (at the very least Home connectivity should be a given)
They've shown remarkably little of the SV DLC and DP2, so trailers for those are obvious.So Pokemon Masters would obviously be discussed, but what else could they talk about that are known quantities? SV DLC got detailed in the June Direct, they got a bunch of mobile games between Cafe, Unite, Sleep, and Smile. Maybe more detailed info on Detective Pikachu 2?

They won’t announce the next mainline game until at least february 2024.If true, give me another Legends game, launching after all the Scarlet & Violet DLC releases.
I agree, I don't think it makes sense for them to undercut their DLC sales before the first half even releases.They won’t announce the next mainline game until at least february 2024.
Yeah, that's probably not happening. The Home 2.0+ compatibility model relies on the games storing a gloablly unique ID generated by the Home servers in the Pokémon data structures so that it can maintain a persistent identity across games. Needless to say, none of the older games support this and it would not be trivial to add it.Huffing on that Hopium for a Gen 1-3 NSO announcement. The backwards compatibility update for Pokemon HOME would be a MASSIVE If they add full HOME compatibility not just one way transfering (as in Lets Go)
For the first time ever, we'll have a Kanto game where you can use Gen 2 evolutions like Espeon and Crobat for the main story. FireRed/Leafgreen blocked evolutions until you finish the postgame story. Now, with HOME compatability, the in game trade restrictions can be bypassed, so there'll be full freedom in what Pokemon you can use in Gen 3, which was never possible before without hacking.
It's also pretty wholesome to think that the Mons I've been transfering up since OG Sapphire/Emerald/Leafgreen can go back "home" to Sapphire/Emerald/Leafgreen again if they're compatible. That part likley wont be possible due to lack of Home IDs in older games (and work like Lets Go where it works with lets go only) but it's a cool thought if they can make it work.
Or you can EV train a Charizard in SWSH and transfer it to Emerald where you can use it in the Battle Frontier which would save dozens of hours of doing it in Gen 3.
If this happens (and it's a big if), it's kind of a game changer
GS were announced for 3DS VC in a Pokémon Direct (the predecessor to Pokémon Presents) in June 2017. They don't save them specifically for the anniversary, they just frequently host these things on the anniversary.If talk about NSO does somehow sneak into the Presents, then it would probably just be dating Stadium 2 and/or Trading Card Game. Reveals for any mainline games coming to service would be saved for February for anniversary reasons. I doubt it though: feels more likely that both of those will part of Nintendo's usual YouTube trailer drops for NSO titles. In regards to console stuff, I'm only expecting Detective Pikachu 2 details and a firm release date for The Teal Mask.
Makes sense. Though even if it does work like it did before the update, wouldnt that would still bypass the Kanto dex restriction for FireRed/Leafgreen? Even if it means we cant bring in Mons from future games back into it, That's still a pretty huge update.Yeah, that's probably not happening. The Home 2.0+ compatibility model relies on the games storing a gloablly unique ID generated by the Home servers in the Pokémon data structures so that it can maintain a persistent identity across games. Needless to say, none of the older games support this and it would not be trivial to add it.
The best case scenario is probably free transfers according to the previous compatibility model, where Pokémon can freely move forwards but never backwards.
Could it ignore the restriction? Sure.Makes sense. Though even if it does work like it did before the update, wouldnt that would still bypass the Kanto dex restriction for FireRed/Leafgreen? Even if it means we cant bring in Mons from future games back into it, That's still a pretty huge update.
Like for example: An Umbreon from a completed save of FireRed goes into HOME, and then goes into a pre completed save of Leafgreen. Should work as long as they havent been in future games (Like Lets Go can use Home freely as long as they've never been in games outside of Lets Go)
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The thread title had me thinking there were like grand competitive players called "Pokemon Masters" who leaked it.
Reality is often disappointing.
Yeah, same. It was a huge disappointment how... Bland it looked. They didn't even make a model for Detective Pikachu with fur like it had on 3DS(was one of the best looking 3DS games it seems). And the lighting... Ugh.I hope Detective Pikachu 2 looks better in its next showing
Wait, Legends 2 RUMORED??I don't expect a full fledged Presents. just a video drop on YouTube about the DLC packs. there are not much to say about that Detective Pikachu sequel but if they have even more games to announce, like that rumored Legends 2, then maybe...
Yeah, legit Pokémon leaker Khu had been hinting something Unova and Legends related separately:Wait, Legends 2 RUMORED??
I thought it was more of an speculation thing or that it came from whos on Twitter?? Is there someone reliable teasing it??
Would be a blast of an announcement. Would be more likely to happen in the February 2024 Presents tho since the SV DLC is not released yet. But... It can be just a story teaser with "2024" in the end and they'd be cool with it. And Legends Arceus itself was announced alongside BDSP and in the previous year of its release, but that was a special case I'll admit. Either way it'd be hype as hell if it happened.
Odds are another MD is happening sooner then later. Much in the same way we got this date leak, there was a leak from the February 23 PP that had Spike Chunsoft listed, though nothing showed up there. New Pokemon Snap was revealed in a Jun-Aug PP for release in the first half of the next year, it's not unreasonable that could happen again.I find it hard to get excited for this on any level when we already know more than enough about both of the DLCs and all of their spinoff efforts are mobile nowadays... I long for the days of Mystery Dungeon and Pokken.
Yeah, because of that I really don't expect much from it.No surprise. The last one was absolute dogshit though. One of the worst presentations in a very long time
It would be challenging for them to make another one that bad with the releases of The Teal Mask and Detective Pikachu 2 as close as they are. Not impossible, but challenging.No surprise. The last one was absolute dogshit though. One of the worst presentations in a very long time
