Pokémon Day is well underway, and with it comes tons of new Pokémon announcements!
To celebrate the fan holiday, the Pokémon Co. hosted a livestream event to update fans on projects including Pokémon Go, Pokémon Sleep, Pokémon Concierge, and more. However, a highlight of the announcements was the new Pokémon Trading Card Game Classic.
The Classic set features a curated collection of everything that trainers need to play their favorite trading card game, including three 60-card preconstructed decks, a two-player game board, a toolbox full of gameplay accessories, card sleeves, and deck boxes. The Trading Card Game Classic will be available later this year.
Some other announcements from Pokémon Day include:
- Hidden Treasure of Area Zero for Pokémon Scarlet or Pokémon Violet: The latest downloadable content for the newest Pokémon video games features two new adventures: The Teal Mask and The Indigo Disk that will release later this year. Players will be able to explore new areas of the Pokémon world, Kitikami Village and Blueberry Academy. They will also encounter brand-new Pokémon, including Ogerpon, Okidogi, Munkidori, and Fezandipiti.
- Pokémon Concierge: The Pokémon Co. is working with Netflix to produce Pokémon Concierge, a stop-motion animated series where Haru the concierge meets all sorts of Pokémon.
- Pokémon Sleep: The app that tracks trainers’ sleep patterns with the help of Professor Neroli and Snorlax is officially being released this summer. The time players spend sleeping and what time they wake up affects the gameplay.
- Pokémon GO Plus: A new accessory that uses Bluetooth technology to connect to the Pokémon Sleep and Pokémon GO apps ups gameplay by making throwing Poké balls effortless and tracking sleep.
On top of all the new products, The Pokémon Co. is also hosting live events on Pokémon Scarlet, Pokémon Violet, Pokémon GO, Pokémon UNITE, Pokémon Café ReMix, and Pokémon Masters EX.
