Nintendo announces the direct presentation of Pokémon, broadcast live on January 9

The next direct Pokémon will take place on January 9, Nintendo announced today. The presentation will take place at 6:30 am PT / 9:30 am he and will be broadcast live on the Official Nintendo Channel YouTube. Scheduled to last about 20 minutes, the direct will focus only on the Pokémon.

We believe that the presentation could be an ad for Pokémon Home, which will allow players to store Pokémon from games like Allons Pikachu and Alons Evoli, épée Pokémon and Bouclier, and Pokémon Go. Players will also be able to transfer Pokémon Home Pokémon to Épée and Bouclier, this function will be limited to Pokémon that appears in the Pokédex of the game.

Until now, the only thing known on a potential release date was that Pokémon Home would arrive at the beginning of 2020. The service seems to be designed to replace Pokémon Bank, we therefore expect it to have a price similar to 4, $ 99 per year. Or it could potentially be integrated into the price of the Nintendo switch online service, which costs $ 3.99 per month, or $ 19.99 per year.

It is also possible that we see certain events or new content announced for games like Épée and Boulclier, Pokémon Go, or Pokémon Masters. We can even see something Pokémon Sleep, the planned sleep companion application, on which Nintendo notably lacked details.

And even if it's not very long ewbeat and shield, and it is unlikely, we could even have a clue on a main line _Pokémon game to come this year. With a potential launch of Nintendo Switch Pro this year, it would be logical for Nintendo to have plans so that some of their largest franchises also publish new entries.
