I’m quite certain most of us can agree that today was a good day to be a Pokémon fan, as today’s Pokémon Direct hit us with three very cool announcements. The most prominent reveal was that of the Expansion Pass that will add 200+ Pokémon and two areas to your journey through the Galar Region. Some gamers were a bit aggro about a duo of Pokémon games having paid DLC ($30 or otherwise), but I have confidence the content in said DLC will be worth the dinero.
But Sword & Shield were not the only stars of the show, as the Direct kicked off with the reveal of Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Rescue Team DX, which is a Switch remake of Pokémon Blue & Red Rescue Team. This remake is due for release on March 6, and there is an eShop demo available now.
The Direct wrapped up with Pokémon Home being announced for a February release. Home is a hub app that allows for transferring Pokémon from game to game, and that includes importing from Go to Sword & Shield.
We’re not even a full month into 2020, and it’s already looking like it’s gonna be a fantastic year for the mega-popular Pokémon franchise regardless of how controversial Sword & Shield seem to be. From Switch games to mobile apps, 2020 will no doubt be a fun year to catch ’em all
