I don't think there should be a message limit as people like to communicate on here with likeminded people. Furthermore, playing the game and using the forum is not mutually exclusive and forum activity may incentivise further gameplay.

Today, February 27, 2026, is pokemon day. This also marks Pokemon's 30th anniversary. As per usual on Pokémon day, Pokémon released a Pokémon presents, or basically a nintendo direct but just for Pokémon. Here is a rundown of everything that was in it. IF YOU DONT WANT SPOILERS, LEAVE NOW. because I dont feel like putting all of this in a spoiler and making the text smaller. Also, please note that this is not in order of the actual presentation.



1. New TCG set
As far as I know, this is basically the 25th anniversary set again.

2. Updates to mobile games.
A new set in TCG pocket that came out a day or two ago, a code in pokemon go (I dont remeber what it was), updates to café remix and pokemon sleep, as well as Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, and all of the gen 2 starters are coming to Pokemon Unite. New things in Masters EX (idk what it was since I've never played that game), and something about Pokémon Champions, another game i have never played.

3. A new event at the world championships.
I dont really fully understand this one, but I think it will just make the world championships better. I dont know though because the only world championships I've been to have been livestreams of them.

4. More news about Pokopia
This game kinda seems like a pokemon themed Minecraft clone, but it seems interesting and I might get it. It releases on March 5, and will have multiplayer and has a cool room form that will let you select music.

5. A red/blue music player
Modeled after the game boy, it will have a ton of different cartridges, each with a unique song from the original games. If it isnt too expensive, I might get it because I like pokemon music way too much.
Edit: I just googled it, and this will be 70 DOLLARS. im probably not getting this. I can probably find that music on youtube.

6. More news about fire red and leaf green.
They basically just said that you will be able to use these with pokemon home, which seems epic. They are 20 dollars each, which I think is a bit much, so I probably wont be getting both of theese, but maybe just one.

7. A new game in classics.
They are adding Pokemon XD Gale Of Darkness to the GameCube classics for ns2 with the online expansion pack. I dont have nintendo switch online, so this wont really affect me.

8. Mega garchomp z
They just said that in the legends za mega dimension dlc there is now a mega garchomp z, which I thought was already a thing.

9. Winds and waves.
Oh goodness... I smell some complaining... they announced Winds and waves, which lots of people already knew about from leaks. We saw some footage, and it looks like pokemon scarlet and violet with slightly more realistic graphics. I thought it looked like a good game overall- WAIT WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL 2027? Yeah. They are making us wait another year. And dont even get me started on the starter pokemon revealed to us. They are low key terrible compared to the other starters. . They are like 1 or 2 colors each. First we have browt, the grass type, which just looks like a miscolored angry bird. Next is the fire starter, Pombon, who is an extremely fluffy dog. And finally, the water one, my personal favorite as of now, named Gecqua, who is just a lizard and looks like someone combined sobble with froakie and changed the colors slightly. Overall, it looks like they just picked 2 random shades of each starter types color and drew some random shapes. It's not like they are bad starters, but they just aren't nearly as good as any set of starters.

Anyways, thats about everything that was revealed to us today. Let me know your opinions or if I forgot to include something in here.
