Beyond that, the Pokemon Company didn’t share any other details. This livestream comes shortly after the previous Nintendo Direct, and is the third consecutive Pokemon Presents special to be broadcast in February. These episodes usually contain updates on not only the latest entries in the mainline series of games–Pokemon Scarlet and Violet in this case–but usually also dive into other Pokemon projects that are in development.
August 2022’s Pokemon Presents had plenty of new details on Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, while earlier episodes confirmed the existence of spin-offs such as New Pokemon Snap and Pokemon Unite. February 27 also happens to be Pokemon Day, and last week saw rumors of a new Pokemon Mystery Dungeon game surface, which is reportedly being handled by Spike Chunsoft once again.
