Nintendo announces Pokemon Direct for the 9th of January

---

Not what we expected.

The anticipation at the usual beginning of Nintendo Direct has increased, and the most recent rumors have increased him only further. But though there is ist very soon a direct, it is probably not what you thought. Nintendo has announced on Twitter that they will broadcast a broadcast Pokémon-focused direct presentation on January 9 at 6.30 pm, and it will have around 20 minutes new Pokémon information.

That's a surprise because Pokemon sword and shield are not two months old, so it's hard to imagine what important announcement you could use as the heart for this program. A far-fetched and very unlikely guess would be remakes for the 4th generation games that would be given the next remake treatment after 2014 _omegaruby and alphasapphire. Maybe for Nintendo a third version is scheduled schwert and Schild But it is unlikely that they will announce it so fast after the release of the original duos - it's not as if they were not selling well.

There is something else Pokémon things you could talk about. Pokemon Home and Pokemon Sleep Both have not received many details since their announcement, so these two may play an outstanding role. In the meantime, some time ago confirmed that Tencent's Timi Studio (the developers of Call of Duty: Mobil) also work on a unannounced Pokémon game, probably for intelligent devices.

Finally, a detective Pikachu game was also announced for the switch last year, although Nintendo has said anything like that since then. Of course, there is also the possibility that Nintendo spends some time to talk about future pot-launch support for Pokemon sword and shield, although they do not usually do such things, especially for pokémon.

One we can be sure _ habit_ make an appearance is another lass we go- style game after Junichi Masuda has confirmed by Game Freak that developers currently have no plans to develop another.

In both cases we will know more in two days, so at least we do not have to wait long. Stay up to date and we keep you up to date on all information that will come to us.

Tune in on 1/9 at 6:30 A.M. PT for Roughy 20 Minutes of New Pokémon Information in A Livestreamed Pokémon Direct Presentation. https://t.co/d1xx3bumg0 pic.twitter.com/ct9dajt4fu
