We\u2019ll split up the rumours into three categories \u2013 one for Pok\u00e9mon games<\/a>, another for any TV series or anime and another for films \u2013 so if you have a particular interest in only a certain genre, you can easily separate the wheat from the chaff.<\/p>\n As recent Pok\u00e9mon games have been dogged with technical mishaps and disappointing gameplay, many are wondering how Game Freak might move forward, especially with a Switch 2<\/a> rumoured to be coming out later this year and Palworld<\/a> being a runaway success.<\/p>\n Love gaming? Listen to our podcast, One More Life!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Only time will tell, however, which leaves us ample room to grind the rumour mill some more, something we do in kind below \u2013 so read on!<\/p>\n Pok\u00e9mon Day 2024 will take place on 27th February<\/b>.<\/p>\n Pok\u00e9mon Day typically lands on 27th February every year, as this is the date when the original Pok\u00e9mon Red and Green games were released in 1996, spawning the franchise we know and love today.<\/p>\n This first took place in 2016 to commemorate the 20th anniversary, and has been a yearly tradition ever since.<\/p>\n While there is no word of it receiving the Pok\u00e9mon Presents treatment yet, it is almost guaranteed to take place, and we will update you as soon as an official announcement has been made by The Pok\u00e9mon Company.<\/p> Nothing as of yet has been announced for Pok\u00e9mon Day<\/b>.<\/p>\n The Pok\u00e9mon Company and its subsidiaries such as Game Freak tend to keep their cards close, with tight lips to boot.<\/p>\n Anything they have planned, such as new games or TV shows, will be kept under wraps until they are announced \u2013 unless any leaks make their way out.<\/p>\n Should any verifiable leaks come from reputable and trusted sources, we will do our due diligence to report on them.<\/p>\n Since there isn\u2019t any information of any kind, we are left to speculation \u2013 something we do in kind just below.<\/p>\n Below are what rumours have been bubbling up across the web. It goes without saying that anything discussed will need a healthy fistful of salt to along with it. But let\u2019s get to it!<\/p>\n One rumour is that Pok\u00e9mon Gold and Silver are getting Nintendo Switch remakes that will supposedly be named Pok\u00e9mon Let\u2019s Go Wooper and Let\u2019s Go Togepi.<\/p>\n The \u201cLet\u2019s Go\u201d moniker was first used for Pok\u00e9mon: Let\u2019s Go, Pikachu and Let\u2019s Go, Eevee!, which were remakes of the 1998 game Pok\u00e9mon: Yellow.<\/p>\n This rumour stems from 4Chan, however, so it\u2019s unlikely to be true. That said, it\u2019s not outside the realms of possibility \u2013 and may be a case of memes imitating life by chance.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s Go, Pikachu and Let\u2019s Go, Eevee! sold very well, so it would make sense for The Pok\u00e9mon Company to revisit a fan favourite.<\/p>\n Remakes aside, we still don\u2019t know what the next mainline entry in the Pok\u00e9mon series will be.<\/p>\n With the Switch 2 looming on the horizon, it\u2019s highly likely Game Freak has been extremely busy developing a new Gen X Pok\u00e9mon game with the system in mind.<\/p>\n This may partly explain the issues surrounding Pok\u00e9mon Legends: Arceus<\/a> and Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet<\/a>, which received poor feedback from fans due to performance issues and disappointing content<\/a>, which could\u2019ve arisen due to much of the team developing a big new title.<\/p>\n It will most likely be a cross-gen title, though, as there are hundreds of millions of Switch owners out there \u2013 making it an economical no-brainer to target them.<\/p>\n There is, of course, Pok\u00e9mon Go<\/a>, Pok\u00e9mon Masters EX, Pok\u00e9mon Sleep<\/a> and Pok\u00e9mon Cafe Remix which usually receive updates to go along with Pok\u00e9mon Day \u2013 so we\u2019ll no doubt have new content to try out here as well.<\/p>\n If our wildest dreams were to come true \u2013 we\u2019d love to see a new series of Pok\u00e9mon Concierge<\/a>. We at RadioTimes.com<\/a> Gaming thought the show was brilliant, and offered a fresh new take on Pok\u00e9mon IP.<\/p>\n Given how well it was received, we wouldn\u2019t be surprised to see such an announcement made during a potential Pok\u00e9mon Presents as part of Pok\u00e9mon Day.<\/p>\n There is, of course, the future of the anime (or cartoon<\/a>?), which saw Ash Ketchum exit the long-running series<\/a> after first debuting in 1997.<\/p>\n We could see a big announcement regarding this and the direction The Pok\u00e9mon Company takes with the anime. Perhaps new characters could tie into a new game?<\/p>\n A Pok\u00e9mon: Detective Pikachu sequel<\/a> was announced all the way back in 2019, and it\u2019s long overdue a proper reveal. Pok\u00e9mon Presents would be the perfect opportunity to do so if it happens.<\/p>\n It\u2019s been almost four years since we had a proper Pok\u00e9mon anime movie as well, with the last being 2020\u2019s Pok\u00e9mon the Movie: Secrets of the Jungle.<\/p>\n With Ash out of the picture, there are endless avenues to explore \u2013 and the film, again, could tie in more directly with the games too.<\/p>\n Listen to our One More Life podcast<\/a> and subscribe to our gaming newsletter<\/a> for all the latest intel.<\/strong><\/p>\n Looking for something to watch?
