Pokémon reveal

It’s almost been a full year since The Pokémon Company announced that a brand new Pokémon RPG was in the works, for the Nintendo Switch. But since then, the only times this mysterious game has been mentioned is on the quarterly release plannings from Nintendo (where it’s been consistently listed as “2018 or later”).

But it looks like we don’t have much longer to wait before we find out what this mysterious Pokémon RPG is all about. Indeed, the Oha Suta variety show (in Japan) will share “shocking” Pokémon news on May 31st (7.05AM JST / 12.05AM CEST) / May 30th (11.05PM BST / 6.05PM ET / 3.05PM PT).

Right now, it’s not clear whether this reveal is related to the Pokémon game on Nintendo Switch. All we know is that the reveal will be about “a new story” beginning… well, that’s what the notice on the official website read before it was replaced by “full of Pokémon information”.
