To celebrate the 30th anniversary of Pokémon, the latest instalments in the main Pokémon video game series, Pokémon Winds and Pokémon Waves, were announced for Nintendo Switch 2. But that's not all!
The Pokémon Company celebrated 30 years of Pokémon with a Pokémon Presents video presentation. This included the unveiling of the next titles in the main Pokémon video game series: Pokémon Winds and Pokémon Waves, which are coming to the Nintendo Switch 2 in 2027. These new games feature an open world to explore. Beginning with these two titles, Brazilian Portuguese will officially be supported as a selectable language for players.
“Pokémon has captured the imagination of millions around the world,” said Kenji Okubo, president of The Pokémon Company International. "This Pokémon Day is extra special as we kick off the celebration of 30 years of Pokémon with exciting announcements for Trainers everywhere. I can’t wait to see 'What's Your Favourite' as we embark on new adventures together."
