The trailer highlights the region’s vibrant ecosystems: tropical forests teeming with Tropius and Melancholy, oceans ruled by giant Outlords, grasslands teeming with Tyro’s flocks, and volcanic fields crawling with Sluma. Other attractions include a towering building that may be used as a gym, a coastal town connected by a water bridge, and a display of Pokémon’s changing day and night cycles from dawn to dusk.
One notable addition to the reveal is the appearance of two uniquely styled Pikachus. One is wearing sunglasses, a floral shirt and a sun hat, while the other is wearing a hat and skirt, suggesting there may be new layers of customization. It’s unclear whether these variants are exclusive to the version or are shared between the two games.
Trainers will wear specific versions of clothing based on gender.
In addition to the new games, the company has also confirmed the release of other games, including classics such as FireRed, LeafGreen and Pokémon
Pokemon Winds and Pokemon Waves are currently set to release in 2027, marking a major milestone as the series enters its fourth decade.
