Heres your 1 stop shop for Pokemon Presents! Not gonna lie overall it felt a bit underwhelming aside from the TCG and Scarlet/Violet news. Of course I was also disappointed there was no news of R/B/Y or a remake of Stadium 🙃

HYPE

- Pokemon TCG classic!!! It looks like this will be a set or series of sets that releases in the future where a new "classic" format will be playable featuring vintage cards! These cards haven't been playable for a long time because they're so outdated. As a kid I never understood how to play correctly so this should be a fun new twist on TCG formats (aka no more Lugia Vstar being every deck you play 😅)

- Scarlet/Violet will receive its first DLC wave in the fall with Hidden Treasures of Area Zero pt 1 (pt 2 releases next winter). New Pokemon, new Legendaries, new stories! Looks like both parts are designed to function as additional paths you will take and explore areas outside of Paldea! You will also get a preorder bonus, which includes a Hisuian Zoroaroaroaroark. DID I MENTION THAT PART 1 COMES WITH THE RELEASE OF A NEW BIRD?!?!

- S/V ALSO is getting 2 new paradox pokemon releasing today in raids- Walking Wake (Suicune) and Iron Leaves (Virizion)! Looks like Suicune will be a Scarlet exclusive while Virizion is Violet.

Meh...

- Pokemon Concierge is a stop animation Netflix series coming later this year. I think this will be a cool change to the normal animated series but it definitely looks more targeted towards kids. Still nice to get some new media in with the game release schedule!

- Pokemon Sleep is a mobile app coming this summer that tracks and monitors healthy sleep patterns. I'm assuming there will be some kind of story/missions aligned where you can catch/collect (maybe train?) based on your sleep patterns. Hard to tell with the limited info provided, but looks cool if you're into sleep tracking. Most of us get no sleep tho so this may not be the play for the Brigade 😂😂😂

- Pokemon Masters EX and Pokemon Cafe released some Pokemon Day updates if anyone is into those!

- NO POKEMON R/B/Y OR STADIUM ☹️

What did you guys think of this year's Pokemon Presents??

Pokemon Day is tomorrow! We should be getting some exciting gaming updates in the morning 👀
