#PokemonPressConference

2018 was a big year for the world of Pokémon. Between #PokemonLetsGo, #DetectivePikachu, #PokemonGO, and more, this is a great time to be a Pokémon Trainer!

#PokemonPressConference

Today, we’ll be announcing 4⃣ exciting new Pokémon projects.

Who’s ready to learn more? #PokemonPressConference

Announcement 1⃣

Can’t wait to keep sleuthing with #DetectivePikachu? Plans are under way to bring this crime-solving Pikachu to Nintendo Switch!

The details of this game are still a mystery...so keep checking back here for more clues. 🔎⚡️

Announcement 2⃣

Pokémon began on the Game Boy and has since evolved (get it? 😉) into an experience that exists beyond a single game or device.

We wanted to bring everything together—connecting Pokémon with a variety of games and connecting players with each other.

Welcome home, Trainers.

Introducing Pokémon HOME, a cloud service that will work with Nintendo Switch and iOS and Android devices, allowing you to bring over the Pokémon that you’ve shared adventures with throughout your journey.

#PokemonHOME

Pokémon HOME isn’t tied to a single game system, meaning you can connect with Pokémon Bank, along with #PokemonLetsGo, #PokemonSwordShield, and #PokemonGO. It also features trading functionality.

#PokemonHOME

Trainers, we’re working hard to create a future that brings people and Pokémon closer together.

Bring your Pokémon home to #PokemonHOME in early 2020.

Announcement 3⃣

What if you could continue training your Pokémon...even in your sleep? 💤

In 2016, Pokémon GO turned the simple act of walking into entertainment, making the entire world into a game. We’re about to do it again, Trainers—this time, for sleeping.

We’re pleased to announce the development of Pokémon Sleep, a new app from @Pokemon_cojp that tracks a user’s time sleeping and brings a gameplay experience unlike any other!

Several Snorlax were consulted on this, in case you were wondering.

#PokemonSleep is coming in 2020.

...Hope you didn’t think that was all, Trainers. In conjunction with #PokemonSleep, we’ve developed a new device: the Pokémon GO Plus +!

#PokemonGOPlusPlus

⬇️ Pokémon GO Plus + Details ⬇️

☀️ Use it as a Pokémon GO Plus during the day.
🌙 Put it next to your pillow at night to track your time sleeping.
🎮 It sends this sleep information to your smartphone via Bluetooth.

#PokemonGOPlusPlus

We’re excited to team up with @NintendoAmerica and @NianticLabs again on this new addition.

While you wait for more info, try to catch one of the special sleeping Snorlax appearing in #PokemonGO to celebrate!

Don’t wait too long, or they might wake up...

Announcement 4⃣

Dreaming of becoming a Pokémon master? This is your time!

Get ready for Pokémon Masters, a new game that allows you to battle alongside your favorite Pokémon Trainers from the main series RPGs.

#PokemonMasters

We’re curious—tell us which Pokémon Trainer you’d want to go up against!

#PokemonMasters

Fun fact: #PokemonMasters began with a suggestion from Ken Sugimori of @GAMEFREAK_info, who wanted to create a game featuring all past and present Pokémon Trainers from the video games.

Stay tuned for more on Pokémon Masters. We’ll share additional info as soon as we can!

That's all from the #PokemonPressConference, Trainers!

Stay tuned for a recap.
