Now gen 10 is another story that might be the first switch 2 games. Which makes sense because it coming in 2026 which be almost 1 yr of the console release. 😅

[@JamiePokemonTrainer]

we are not getting a Battle Tower in Scarlet and Violet. Battle Facilities are redundant these days. If people want competitive battles, they can do online battles and VGC.

Not really it will not kill the impact if he older and helping the next gen trainers? 😅

[@noelsilva8887]

Those people who think is on the switch 2 are right but it not what they think it maybe playable on switch 2 because of backwards compatibility that all. 😅

[@ChairyCrasher]

So the new legandary pokemon A, is a legendary Ditto. I highly doubt it.

[@shadowhell8378]

Honestly, if they keep the 4-5 year release gap between main series games. then having dlc the year after release, then a battle tower/ Frontier 2 years after that with new pokemon available as prizes like the old game corners did would be great.

[@TheRealLazyBacon]

If you’re suggesting Pokémon wait five years between making a game that’s crazy. Their target audience is children after all children grow and get older.

[@shadowhell8378]

@@TheRealLazyBacon I was saying main series games not all pokemon games between the releases of the gens like Scarlett and violent and gen 10 would be 4-5 years. They can still release legends games, let's go games, spin offs like snap, mystery dungeon, Colosseum and so on

[@NickYes-oz5mh]

​@@TheRealLazyBacon bruh so you want another SV buggy mess? Pokemon is literally one of the biggest franchises in the world and has no excuse for that sloppiness. 4-5 years is fine for proper polish. You're just an impatient fan. Also @OP why would you make people wait for a battle tower/battle frontier when it can be included in the base games like it has been?

[@jonathonswift7792]

I was speculating ZA would be released in Fall 2025, cause X and Y was released in the Fall. Switch 2 announcement and release are 2 different things; Switch came out almost 2 years when it was announced. And yes, it says ZA will be on the Switch systems; Lite, Switch, OLED are all Switch systems so its just like saying release on Nintendo Switch.

[@alejandrocardenas3467]

I hope Ash doesn’t return, personally I would love to see each generation have their own protagonist with their own plot and mission. Just like horizons

[@claudeernestbarcelona2465]

They will probably make Megas transferrable to SV to make the VGC meta alive and different for next year.

[@AlbeyAirto]

It feels like all the games I want are coming out Holidays 2025 since there is no actual release dates 😂

[@noelsilva8887]

If this is true then maybe a present in September? 😅

[@Northender]

6:29 most VGC think Tera is the best gimmick for Pokémon VGC ever. They are happy with this longer staying power. Just fyi.

[@artgamer5604]

3:52 JoJo was going crazy on that man

[@nickdentoom1173]

So the problem with the first rumos is this is mentioning a Battle Tower upgrade. We don't need a Battle Tower, since the Battle Tower is already in the game - its called the Academy Ace Tournament. You are wrong though, A Legend in Kalos can be the events in XY, hence the future setting. Its not gonna be a past setting, because that doesn't line up with the current Lumiose City we got in XY.

[@daynnethedrummer684]

Man, I can't imagine them literally using the Mega Evolution symbol in the teaser as a hook like that and them not having any new Megas, that alone raises a lot of skepticism for me, personally.

[@brandonhowell5096]

I wouldn't be to surprised they might just modify terrastization so that pokemon who can, and if they make new ones, mega evolve as a terra-form

[@robiu013]

i don't know about the battle tower leak. technically, the only thing that got confirmed from it was "no ZA news"... but, that was an easy guess to make. worlds news never was about the mainline games. best we got was a cyclizar reveal pre-SV release.

[@nickdentoom1173]

Yeah... basicallly the Academy Ace Tournament services as our Battle Tower in Scarlet and Violet.

[@xGOKAI_SILVERx]

If there really was a battle tower update I'd hope they'd add in a few more mons just for the fuck of it.

[@ChanoTha1]

A Scarlett/Violet battle tower would make so happy

[@nickdentoom1173]

Its unlikely it will happen though, since the Academy Ace Tournament basically functions as the Battle Tower. You even get rewards after winning your matches.

[@ShiningStar5022]

That anime rumor, I personally hope that it is false cuz if HZ is a new generation, why swap out the pro tags again at the end, especially if they are exploring multiple regions? Would make sense for them to stick around with Liko being Ash 2.0. Also, about the 1st rumor, SV is done with, they’re not doing another big update, they’re moving on to PLZA.

[@BlekPowers]

It's already been confirmed that Ash being out of the series is temporary, sadly.

[@ShiningStar5022]

@@BlekPowers Yeah, meaning he could return as a side character or be in a TV special, not him returning as the protagonist.

[@ConductorElcrest]

@@ShiningStar5022Nothing says he won’t return as a main character either tho.

[@kiang0098]

It would be cool if we got a feature in the pokemon games where we can relive special events in the main and post games.

[@JCardo2502]

If Ash returns it will most likely be for a cameo or something small, I don´t think he will make a permanent return as much as I hate Liko and Roy

[@KammIlco]

It makes sense for ZA to have spring release, then Gen 10 can come out late 2025, so worlds 2026 won’t be the 4th year of S/V championships

[@minislayer3241]

No, we're clearly not having two games during the same year again

[@AhmedT90]

@@minislayer3241I can definitely see it happening. Not gen 10, but a remake or an ILCA (Pokemon works) game.

[@ShiningStar5022]

Gen 10 ain’t dropping late 2025 unless they either announce it on Pokémon Day when PLZA isn’t out yet, thus cannibalizing sales (PLZA likely won’t drop until April of 2025 at the earliest, well after Pokémon day, unlike PLA, which dropped in January) or announce it in May or June, which, while that does work for remakes like LGPE (where it’s basically the same story with a few new things) it’s doesn’t work for new generations and there is a reason why new gens are announced early on in the year, to promote as much new stuff as possible.

[@KammIlco]

@@ShiningStar5022 all we can do is make assumptions because no one knows what Pokémon has planned. Legends ZA was extremely unexpected so idk why anyone is expecting the norm still

[@ShiningStar5022]

@@KammIlco I see what you mean, GameFreak has been unpredictable. However, their release schedules and announcement have to make sense at the end of the day. There is doing something unpredictable, and then there is doing something assbackwards and self destructive, & announcing a game either when another one of your big games isn’t out yet or announcing a whole new generation in the middle of the year for it to come late the same year, thus leading to not enough time to flesh it out, is assbackwards and self destructive.

[@BlekPowers]

Have they said coming to all Switch consoles before? I've never noticed that. It would be weird for them to say imo because there is no difference in any of the games.

[@Octoberisms]

The reason I think it’s coming out on the switch two is we haven’t seen any gameplay at all for za and the switch two is also releasing next year. Why wouldn’t they make it a launch title?

[@rayhorizons]

It’s not out of the ball park they release gen 10 the same year as za they did it with Arceus

[@ThatSurvivorPony]

12:30 As awesome as Ash returning would be its way too good to be true. Ash may still be going on journeys but they ended his story in the “To be a Pokémon master” series on Netflix. After that they can’t do anymore episodes with him due to that fact. I guess a new movie or two could be an exception but need I say again, his story ended.

[@ShiningStar5022]

I can see them do a special where Liko meets Ash, but I can't see them have Ash go back to being the protag for gen 10 after ditching him as the protag for gen 9.

[@maryscudder3324]

There's another Ash from a different universe they could use best they could use this from the Pokemon the movie I choose you universe

I hate so much that you keep saying ZA is not coming out on Switch 2. "Releasing simultaneously" means switch AND switch 2. Literally no other Nintendo marketing says "releasing simultaneously" for switch, switch lite, and switch oled. My guy. What are you not getting??

[@bradwhite5884]

I thought when he said that people been saying that PLZA will come out on the Switch 2, I thought he mean that people saying that PLZA will be exclusively coming to the Switch 2 when we know and proven that it is coming to all Switch devices, even to the Switch 2, but we dunno if the next Console will be called the Switch 2, maybe be called different but still looks like a Swtich consoles in ways, so who knows tbh Also I believe the plan for the Switch mid life refresh and upgrade was scrapped because of covid and all that will move forward or towards to the new consoles and the original plan for the next then console was also scrapped too in process too, so the new consoles will have both ideas in one, so who knows tbh

[@ShiningStar5022]

That, & "they have to follow the 3 year release cycle to line up with the anime, merch, VGCs, & TCGs" even though the TCGs and anime began months after the games dropped, meaning they will delay stuff if they have to. TPC is more flexible than you think.
