I'm surprised few people have replied here so far.
I kept my expectations in check for this "Pokémon Presents," and I was willing to wait until after all the mobile game stuff to hear about the main series news.
Will I actually try Pokémon Sleep? no, I got insomnia.
What I really wanted to talk about was the potential re-releases of Gens I through III. I don't think it'll happen, and if it does, they'll probably leave Europe high and dry. PEGI says any new game that encourages gambling (which RBY probably do in their eyes, as SOMEONE has to gamble to get a Porygon to catch them all) automatically gets the 18 rating, so they'd have to release the games as is without online trading or take the L and accept the 18 rating, and neither of those things sound like something TPCi would do. I don't know of any legal precedent at this point.
I don't know a lot about the public perception of gambling over in Europe, so I don't want to open my mouth and look stupid. I do not know for certain why
Sonic Origins released in Europe with zero problems regarding the gambling. I have heard speculation, but I do not know. I don't want to promote misinformation about that, so I won't go further. I do not know how the PEGI ratings work for 100% certain.
For that matter, I would love to be wrong. I would love for Game Freak to put RSE and the Kanto remakes on Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack. I just don't know if they will. I'm really worried about legal game preservation in this franchise.
I think it be dumb if the Pokemon Company didn't. Even if they can't release them in Europe, which won't matter given that you can change your location on your Switch. they would still get thousands of people getting + Expansion just to get those games again. I mean people bought the Virtual Console games, so they've already been rereleased once. To them, Europe is a small minority compared to USA and Japan.
So I am almost certain it will happen with Pokemon TCG and Pokemon Stadium 1 and 2 already confirmed. But I think they are waiting.
As I said, people are still buying the Virtual Console, even more people are now because they don't think it is coming to +Expansion. So they are making even more money buy causing people to think the classic aren't coming. When the 3DS Store closes down at the end of March, an announcement will come I am betting. It might be in June, since that is when they tend to have another Pokemon Direct, but it will come. Summer is my biggest bet is when they will release every single GB, GBA, and N64 Pokemon game on +Expansion. Especially when that is when a large amount of people buy games during Summer.
