Could be anything related to Pokémon, really.
Perhaps a new generation, or a new remakes, or new Gen 8 games, or new DLC or updates to the current Gen 8 games and HOME, or just all sorts of various stuff.
Either way, this may turn out to be quite interesting.

Probably gen 9. Already got a main game, upper version equivalent, and remakes for gen 8

new DLC or updates to the current Gen 8 games and HOME

Nope, already have days scheduled for that

I personally highly doubt we're getting gen 9 this year. Maybe next year at the earliest.

It should be noted that Home, BDSP, and PLA are not on the list of games and Sw Sh's list this week was Raid battles with Gigantamax Kanto starters.

I'm expecting Legends DLC. There is so much story potential left to explore with that game.

Most of the announcements that have been happening in the lead up to Pokémon Day have been about events starting literally this week, so even for Unite, Café ReMix, etc. it's possible there are further 2022 plans to be shown in the presentation.

Pokemon Presents are seperate deom Pokemon Directs...usually if its a pokemon direct its a new gen, not a presents.

Now that I think I've finally finalized how I'd rebalance the types, it's time to move on to moves! Not rebalancing, but just some thoughts on moves I would add:

A slate of Freeze-Dry type moves that do extra power to certain types

  • Blowout: A special Flying Type move that does double damage to Fire types
  • []kinesis: a class of 50 base power special Psychic moves that does double damage to a corresponding type:
    • Ferro: Steel
    • Pyro: Fire
    • Hydro: Water and Ice
    • Geo: Ground and Rock

I'd like a Poison move that hits Steel for SE damage.

[up]x3

BDSP and PLA were announced in a Pokemon Presents presentation last year and while they're not new generations they're still mainline games. Generation 9 could easily be announced this Sunday and release in November. By that point Legends Arceus will have been out for nearly a year so sells for Generation 9 wouldn't bite into sells for PLA. Hell, the positive reception to PLA could even help sale Generation 9 to people.

Do I expect Generation 9 this year? Honestly, I think its 50-50. Either way, it's not entirely out of the question.

Something acidic? (As long as Steel-types aren't acidproof here.)

There's a lot of things I'd kinda love to see in the future, but some of it may end up a bit broken, haha.

One of those things would be a Poison-type move that's effective against Bug-types.
Another would be a Steel-type move effective against Poison-types. (Or maybe even an Ability that causes it.)

Calling it now: people will complain about the Pokémon Presents for not announcing an Explorers of Sky remake, an undoing of Dexit, and Mother 3.

You might think I'm kidding about Mother 3, but remember when Nintendo said they'd announce a new RPG IP at E3 2016? The reveal trailer for Ever Oasis was flooded with commenters complaining that it wasn't Mother 3.

I know you're not kidding. After the last Nintendo direct I saw someone say they have to accept that the Nintendo they loved as a kid is no longer the same Nintendo [lol]

Can they just do Pokémon Sleep already? At this point, it's Pokémon Comatose.

It would be odd, but definitely not something I couldn't see them doing, to announce the new gen when BDSP still clearly is awaiting updates. The GWS if nothing else.

The latest game is barely a month old, after all. Supporting it and the 3-month-old remakes makes more sense IMO than announcing a new gen and thus ending up with 3 games in less than a year.

Yea the climate for this Generation is very different from the last one.

There was a game every year in Gen 7, but this is the first Gen where we get actual DLC.

Plus as mentioned, Arceus is barely a month old, they're not going to cannibalize their own game by announcing a new one coming already.

Gen VII had a game per year, but the 2017 games were third versions, while the 2018 games were both remakes and in a different console. This year may do with BDSP and Arceus DLC.

@Chariot: Mainline games can be present in Pokemon Presents, but every new generation has started with an official Pokemon Direct since they started doing them. Gen 9 may indeed be announced this year, but its not going to show up now.

Hopefully they delay Gen 9 so they can add their good Arceus ideas in it. And polish the graphics.

It's going to be so boring if it's just back to the Grass - CTB - Fight - CTB - Grass cycle again. They managed to finally make a game where it's interesting to complete the Pokedex, I really hope they don't ditch it because it would be harder to make Ash & co have an animated adventure about it.

The anime didn't even try to adapt Gen 8 and went for random globetrotting instead. I don't know why you brought that point up.
