Rumor has it that a Switch Online version of the old games of R/G+B/Y, G/S/C and R/S/E is another possible Direct announcement. Pokemon Stadium's NSO description says that Pokémon cannot be traded in the game, but to what extent? The trading method involving the transfer paks in the original version, and NOT trading within the versions themselves? Or will you be forced to complete it with zero help of any sort from pokemon from R/B/Y and/or G/S/C that are NOT rental Pokémon? If the former, then, although irrelevant to Pokemon Stadium, will they, or will they not, create a way to send them to Pokemon HOME should the player choose to send it on a one-way trip to the ninth Gen? I hope we're not forced to play Stadium with only Rental pokemon the whole way, as that, although possible, is as difficult as the SNES Lion King(which is doable, but INSANELY difficult), to say the least... If only there's another way to play the whole thing, to ensure you're not being forced to ignore the presents you get, the GB Tower, and any hopes of bringing in your own Pokémon to battle in 3D, and going with Pokémon of inferior strengths to those trained by the player... Next week will tell the tale. Are we forced to use weaker rentals?
A roughly 20-minute long Pokemon Presents has been announced for this year’s Pokemon Day, Monday, February 27th, 2023. The Presents will begin at 6am Pacific Time. As of now, we don’t yet know the topics that will be covered in the Presents, but Pokemon Day Presents have historically been very interesting, with previous Presents announcing titles like Pokemon Let’s Go Pikachu and Pokemon Let’s Go Eevee, and the Isle of Armor and The Crown Tundra DLCs for Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield. Perhaps we’ll get a glimpse at some upcoming features for Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet? Maybe DLC for the games? Either way, the Presents should be quite exciting!
