Pokémon Presents August 2023 is the second presentation of the yr, following the February 2023 showcase for the franchise’s birthday. Here is every part we all know concerning the upcoming showcase, together with what time it begins, the place to look at it, and what to anticipate through the present.

Pokémon Presents August 2023 – What To Anticipate
We can’t know precisely what’s going to function within the August 2023 Pokémon Presents showcase, however we predict we are able to make a number of fairly surefire guesses — and some enjoyable ones, too.
In February 2023, for the franchise’s anniversary Pokémon Presents, Pokémon Sleep made its grand return, we bought the same old cellular, TCG, and World Championship updates, plus the model new DLC for Pokémon Scarlet & Violet — The Hidden Treasure of Space Zero — was formally introduced.
We reckon that one or two of these items will most definitely be popping up through the stream, however we’ll have to attend and see. Listed here are our ideas, hopes, and desires for the Pokémon Presents August 2023 showcase:
Pokémon Scarlet & Violet – The Teal Masks DLC launch date
If there’s one announcement we anticipate will dominate the Pokémon Presents, its particulars of the upcoming DLC for Pokémon Scarlet & Violet.
With The Hidden Treasure of Space Zero damaged into two components, and half one — The Teal Masks — due out in Fall 2023, we anticipate we’ll get a launch date for The Teal Masks and all that malarkey through the Pokémon Presents. Not solely that, we’ll presumably get some hints as to what The Indigo Disk (half 2 of the DLC) can have in retailer for us.
Detective Pikachu Returns new gameplay footage
Introduced through the June 2023 Nintendo Direct, Detective Pikachu Returns is sure to pop up through the showcase. And it ought to; let’s give it its time within the limelight away from the Mario bulletins.
That sixth October launch date isn’t too far off, so we anticipate we’ll get some gameplay footage or extra particulars about what to anticipate from the sport. What adjustments will it make from the primary recreation?
Pokémon: Detective Pikachu 2 film information?
Bear in mind when Detective Pikachu wasn’t only a online game? There’s one thing about that teaser for the presentation that sparked the concept we’ll get information of the Pokémon: Detective Pikachu film sequel.
The luminous neon brings to thoughts that film’s brand, and given its success (to not point out that of the more moderen Tremendous Mario Bros. Film), some type of Detective Pikachu 2 teaser trailer or announcement wouldn’t be shocking – assuming improvement on the venture hasn’t been completely paused by the continued Writers and SAG-AFTRA strike within the US.
Pokémon Concierge new trailer
We have had a number of transient teasers for Pokémon Concierge, the beautiful stop-motion present coming to Netflix this yr. However we do not have a agency launch date, and even a lot of an concept of what it is about beyind a younger lady taking a job at a resort for Pokémon.
Truthfully, we simply wish to see extra adorable-looking Pokémon — we are able to’t take our eyes off that fuzzy little Psyduck!
Extra TCG updates
Pokémon TCG Basic was introduced over the past Pokémon Presents, and it nonetheless is not out. So that is one set that can undoubtedly function for deck-building fans throughout the globe.
Extra Scarlet & Violet themed units will probably be teased or introduced through the showcase, and no matter different surprises the TCG has in retailer for us.
Pokémon anime information
We all know when Ash’s time within the Pokémon anime is coming to an finish within the West — maybe we’ll get an official Ash Ketchum obituary?
All of that apart, one other have a look at Pokémon Horizons: The Sequence is anticipated, even after we bought some extra English particulars throughout Comedian Con a number of weeks again.
Pokémon video games on Nintendo Swap On-line?
Truthfully, we’re not protecting our fingers crossed for the Sport Boy/GBA classics to make their method over to Nintendo Swap On-line, however there’s bought to be a shred of hope, proper? We would like to see Pokemon Crimson & Blue (and/or Yellow), Gold & Silver, Ruby & Sapphire (or Emerald) and even FireRed & LeafGreen — together with full buying and selling performance, and compatibility with Pokémon Stadium. It is a no-brainer, proper?
Nonetheless, there are some Pokémon video games which might be scheduled to be coming to the service — Pokémon Stadium 2 for N64 and Pokémon Buying and selling Card Sport on Sport Boy Coloration are supposed to be coming, so maybe that is the time we get dates for them.
Pokémon Sleep updates?
This can be a fairly secure wager, we predict, besides, if we hear the phrases “Coming quickly to Pokémon Sleep…“, we’ll sleep. New Pokémon? A roadmap? New sleepstyles? There’s bought to be one thing for the life-style app… or maybe simply one other way of life app itself.
A brand new Legends: Arceus-style recreation?
Now we’re actually pushing the boat out. Whereas a model new Pokémon recreation is presumably within the works — when is not there in any case — and a part of us might have given up hope of wishing for one more recreation within the type of Pokémon Legends: Arceus. But when we do not imagine, then who will?
A greater presentation than February 2023
We discovered February 2023’s Pokémon Presents to be fairly disappointing, even given the swathe of bulletins. the DLC information felt extra like a footnote than an precise announcement.
All we are able to hope for is extra precise concrete data. Fingers crossed.
