It’s possible the August 2022 Pokémon Presents will hold surprises for fans, but the Twitter announcement teased the gist of what fans can expect.

The most notable announcements will likely center Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet. Both Gen 9 games will debut on Nov. 16, 2022 — and fans are eager for more details about the coming releases.

Two trailers have already been released, but they’ve only shown off a few new Pokémon. Plot details about the games haven’t been confirmed, and we don’t know much about the new setting. Hopefully, the broadcast will dive into all the specifics. It’d be nice to get some major reveals, especially with the release date rapidly approaching.

In addition to news about Scarlet and Violet, the August live stream could cover news about the coming update for Pokémon Unite, Pokémon Sleep, and Pokemon Cafe ReMix. Fans will have to tune in to see how it all plays out.
