If you’re a Pokemon fan and especially if you’re a Nintendo Switch owner, you likely have June 5th circled on your calendar as that’s when a special Nintendo Direct will air showcasing more info on the upcoming Pokemon Sword and Shield games. However, The Pokemon Company also just held their own press conference announcing some other Pokemon-related stuff they’ve got in the works. Starting with what’s probably most relevant to our readers here, they unveiled the upcoming Pokemon mobile game which is being developed in partnership with DeNA, as announced earlier this month. It’s called Pokemon Masters and it looks to bring together previous Pokemon Trainers from throughout the franchise’s history to “experience a new type of Pokemon battling on the go." It’s set to launch before the end of 2019 on both iOS and Android, and more details should be revealed next month.
Also announced is a brand new Detective Pikachu game for the Nintendo Switch. The original Detective Pikachu game released for the Nintendo 3DS in Japan back in 2016, and worldwide in the spring of last yer. And obviously the Detective Pikachu movie has done pretty well at the box office after launching earlier this month, so a new game makes total since. The 3DS game ended on a cliffhanger and this Nintendo Switch sequel will pick up right where that last game ended and will provide a conclusion to that story. No more details have been revealed just yet...
