The new Pokémon Presents are talking about games, additional content and animated series: here is a summary of The Pokémon Company show.
The latest Pokémon Presents opened rather unusually, given that the first few minutes were dedicated to Pokémon World Championship which will be held in Japan from 11 to 13 August. Chris Brown of The Pokémon Company International is very pleased to show us the gadgets the winners will receive, as well as the new Resort Paradiso playing card and the new Pikachu plush, which of course will also be available at the largest Pokémon centers in the world. world.
Brown then passed the ball to Rikiya Watanabe, who went on to illustrate the various activities that would take place at Yokohama Minatomirai in honor of the World Cup: cruises, parades, and so on. In the meantime, the audience was wondering when we will start talking about video games: read our special issue on pokemon represents august to figure out.
Series
In fact, we passed first Pokémon: top, an animated miniseries presented by Andy Gose, General Manager of Media Production at The Pokémon Company. Toward the beginning, it will be shown in a preview right at the World Cup: this is a small series made in computer graphics and focused on matches of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. The main character, Ava, will work her way into the competitive card game scene with the support of friends and family, starting from a small club and working her way up to the pinnacle that gives the project its name. The first episode will be released on YouTube on August 11, and from the short trailer shown, we can tell that we’re at least intrigued by the idiosyncratic graphic style adopted.
However, the more traditional style Pokémon Horizons: The Series, the eighth Pokémon anime, which will also arrive in Italy on K2 next November and was shown with a short teaser during Pokémon Presents. In Japan, sixteen episodes have already aired since last April; For the uninitiated, the new anime is inspired by the Pokémon Scarlet and Violet and features Liko, a girl from the Paldea region who travels with a sprigatito, and Roy, a boy from the Kanto region who has a mysterious Poké Ball.
Pokémon: Winds of Paldea instead, it’s an animated online mini-series centered on various academy students and their adventures, which will soon be shared on YouTube.
Detective Pikachu is back
And finally, let’s move on to video games, perhaps one of the most anticipated by nostalgics. It’s about Detective Pikachu is back which is a direct sequel to Detective Pikachu for Nintendo 3DS released in 2018. It’s the game that inspired the famous big screen movie with Ryan Reynolds voicing Pikachu in the original language and Justice Smith as Tim Goodman, but if you’ve only seen the movie then the trailer shown during Pokémon Presents may have confused you. since there are several inconsistencies between the game and the film adaptation, starting with the fact that Tim is Caucasian and his mother is alive. It remains to look again for his father Harry, who disappeared under mysterious circumstances, but on our side there will be a strange Pikachu, whom Tim strangely manages to understand and who loves coffee.
The new game will also be a kind of point-and-click detective adventure with some third-person RPG dynamics. For example, we will have to enlist the support of other Pokémon, such as Growlight, who can follow tracks thanks to his formidable nose, or Darmanitan, who can destroy obstacles with force. The trick is to switch between Tim, who can talk to people, and pikachuWho can do it with Pokémon: By exchanging information and collecting details, we must get to the bottom of the mystery of Harry’s disappearance and the wild Pokémon that are troubling Rhyme City.
Mobile games
There was also talk about Pokémon GO, which is now in its seventh year since its launch and will feature Paldea Pokémon: while Pokémon GO Fests are held in London, New York, and Osaka, Pokémon Go Global Festival 2023 will take place on Saturday 26 and Sunday 27 August. and players who connect from anywhere in the world will be able to participate… as long as it’s covered by the internet, of course. So if you’re holidaying in the Bermuda Triangle, you might have to give it up. This would be a shame, because Dianci, who can Mega Evolve into Mega Dianci, will first appear during the Festival, and Mega Rayquaza will appear in raids.
As Pokémon GO turns seven years old, Pokémon UNITE makes two: another opportunity to celebrate events and game modes such as Wild Ambush, in which you have to protect the tinkaton from wild monsters. The legendary Mewtwo will be added to the list, with the ability to transform into Mega Mewtwo X and Mega Mewtwo Y, but only after obtaining the appropriate licenses. At the moment, there are some events that allow you to get bonuses and costumes for characters, so we advise you to learn more about the topic on specialized sites.
There was also talk about Pokémon Masters-EX which on the eve of its fourth anniversary will see the addition of a new unit inspired by Scarlet and Violet: Nemi with Paumot. It will also be the first Sprinter-type unit to specialize in fast attacks. Starting August 16, a squad consisting of Victor and Spectrier, belonging to the Campomastro category, specializing in field effects, will be introduced.
Then it was the turn Pokemon Cafe Remix: The Tatsugiri Camouflage Pokémon will arrive in a new event with an event available until August 20th in which it will be necessary to enjoy the little monster’s arched, slanted, and tense form to add one of the three Tatsugiri to the state. Jigglypuff “Summer Vacation” and Vaporeon “Tropical Seas” were also released on Pokémon Presents. Players who log in these days will discover various themed events and draws. And finally, it was about a small update for Pokémon Sleepbefore moving on to perhaps the most anticipated moment of the presentation…
Scarlet and Purple
With a breathtaking CGI video, we saw him return to the stage. Mew and Mewtwo in the latest version of Pokémon for Nintendo Switch. Getting Mew is very simple: before September 18, just enter the code GETYØURMEW in the Secret Gift menu and press OK to get Mew with random movements, therapy and nature. Mewtwo, on the other hand, will appear in Teracristal Raids, and players who manage to catch him will also receive Emblem of Ultimate Power. Director of Operations Takato Utsunomiya, who commented on most of the Pokémon Presents, recommended bringing Myu to the Teracristal Raid for a special event, and then moving on to the Pokémon Violet and Scarlet downloadable content.
In the first part of The Treasure of Area Zero called Turquoise maskwe will reach a new area called nordivia under the guidance of Rea, teacher at the Mirtillo Institute. During this study trip through the countryside, you can encounter Pokémon not seen before in Paldea and the two brothers who study at Mirtillo, the overbearing Rubra and the meek Riben: the latter uses a new evolution of Applin, called Dipplin, which resembles candy. apples.
Our task will be to investigate an ancient legend that tells about the deeds of three legendary Pokémon, also called “benfriends”, fighting an evil ogre: Okidogi, Munkidori and Fezandipiti. Nordivia honors lovers with its annual Masquerade Festival, and it’s understandable that it’s all inspired by Japan’s unique culture and traditions. Lita, a traveling photographer, is in Nordivia for the same reason, and she will task us with photographing Pokémon for her in the mysterious Eternal Forest, and in the Ogre Hunt mini-game, we will run to pop the balloons in the shortest possible time. OUR mochi that will be received as a prize will be used to improve the statistics of our Pokémon, or to reset them directly in order to reset the growth of a small monster and start over.
The second part of the DLC called indigo disk, will see how we conduct a student exchange with the Mirtillo Institute, which is located almost completely under water. Principal Bluebert will accompany us in the opening of this new school and its Bioterarium, a huge map divided into a subtropical savanna sector, a lush coastal sector, a glacier ice sector, and an impenetrable canyon sector.
Four zones hide old and new Pokémon to catch, as well as many secrets. We’ll have to defeat the members blueberry league, chaired by the Elite Four on duty: Rupi, Piros, Erin, and Aris. The last one caught a new Pokémon, Archaludon, which evolves into Duraludon. To challenge them, you’ll need to complete challenges, including flying on Miraidon or Kuraidon, and the trailer suggests that sooner or later you’ll be able to fly freely in the rest of the game as well. On the other hand, in Club Lega we will be able to devote ourselves to various extracurricular activities: we will be able to decorate our own room, learn new PokéBall launch animations, invite Paldea trainers as mentors and much more.
The first part of the DLC will be released on September 13, while the second part is scheduled for the winter. It goes without saying that there will be new Pokémon to catch, and the official website has already shown several ways. Ogerpon, a teracrystallized legendary Pokémon; two forms of Therapagos Pokemon, normal and terracrystallized; and two unreleased Pokémon Paradox, Thunderfury and Iron Leader. In short, for those who have appreciated Violet and Scarlet, there are some interesting additional materials on the way: we will definitely talk about them again in the coming weeks.
