Battle along all past and present Pokemon Trainers from the video games!
During the Pokemon 2019 Press Conference, Pokemon Masters was announced and will allow players to “battle alongside your favorite Pokémon Trainers from the main series RPGs.”
Pokemon Masters began with a suggestion from Gamer Freak’s Ken Sugimori who wanted to see all the Pokemon Trainers from the video games in one game.
This new mobile game is being developed by The Pokemon Company and DeNA, developers of such titles as Super Mario Run and Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp.
More information on this new title will be released in June but it will be releasing for iOS and Android devices, it will feature Pokemon battling, and it is said to be a “casual but uniquely Pokemon experience.”
Alongside Pokemon Masters, it was also revealed that a brand-new Detective Pikachu game would be headed to Nintendo Switch that will conclude the story that began in the original 3DS title.
Pokemon Sleep was announced and is a game that tracks your sleep and allows players to “wake up with a Pokemon every morning.” In addition, the new Pokemon Go Plus + will track player’s sleep and also function as the original Pokemon Go Plus did.
Lastly, Pokemon Home will act as a new cloud-based service and will allow players to trade with others using their mobile devices, connect to Pokemon Bank, and much more.
