So for people that didn't watch the direct, unfortunately they didn't announce a gen 4 remake. Instead they announced a remake to the first Pokemon Mystery Dungeon game which is coming in March. And they also announced an expansion pass to Pokemon Sword and Shield. It consists of two parts: the Isle of Armor and the Crown Tundra. The Isle of Armor releases June 2020 and Crown Tundra releases Fall 2020 and they are going to be $29.99.
Each version has a new rival in Isle of Armor with Pokemon Sword having Klara and Shield having Avery.
There's a new legendary in Isle of Armor who's a fighting type named Kubfu which can evolve into Urshifu.
The Crown Tundra has a new legendary that's a grass/psychic called Calyrex.
There's a new coop mode where players can work together to catch legendary pokemon from previous regions.
And Pokemon home has a release date of February 2020.
Finally they said that they are adding 200+ Pokemon from previous gens into the game. There will be a free update alongside the expansions allowing players without the expansions to get the 200+ Pokemon via trade. And there's a software update out now that'll let you meet the rivals from the expansion pass and catch Galarian Slowpoke. Let me know if I missed anything!
Japanese Hotel company Mimaru has announced that they will feature Pokemon-themed rooms in Tokyo and Osaka that feature a Pokeball bed, a giant Snorlax Plush and Pokemon dishware
