Everything Announced During The 2022 Pokémon Day Stream

It’s February 27, which means The Pokémon Company had a stream to celebrate the series and all of the games within it. This year was nothing short of a great stream, bringing news of updates for many of the franchise’s titles including Pokémon Go, Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Pokémon Shining Pearl, Pokémon Legends: Arceus, and even the reveal of Generation 9. 

If you missed today’s stream and are looking for a recap of everything revealed, we’ve got you covered. 

Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet

Revealed in a new trailer that closed out the stream, Generation 9 is officially Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet. The region wasn’t given a name but was displayed with beautiful color and familiar pocket monsters. While we don’t know for sure, our guess is that this region is based on Spain. Below is the trailer. 

As you can see the trailer, we also received our first look at the starters: Grass-type cat Sprigatito, Fire-type croc Fuecoco, and Water-type duckling Quaxly. Here’s a better look at each, with some information about their height, category, weight, and ability. 

Pokémon Legends: Arceus Daybreak Update

Later today, a new update for Pokémon Legends: Arceus will go live. The update version 1.1.0, titled Daybreak, will offer players a brand new investigation. You must investigate a new phenomenon that is causing a mass outbreak of what appears to be Alpha Pokémon. The update includes new Trainer Battles for the in-game Training Grounds. Below is the Daybreak trailer. 

To celebrate Pokémon Day, players can receive 30 Ultra Balls, 30 Gigaton Balls, and 30 Jet Balls in-game by using the password, “ARCEUSADVENTURE.” 

Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl Mystery Gift: Shaymin

Later today, a new Mystery Event for Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl will go live and it will give players Oak’s Letter. This can be used to begin the Mythical Pokémon Shaymin encounter in-game, giving players the chance to add this Pokémon to their party and Pokédex. Game Freak has noted that the Mystery Gift feature takes about two hours before it is available in new versions. The Shaymin mystery gift can be claimed from now through March 27, 

Pokémon Go: Alola Update

The Pokémon Company has revealed that starting March 1, Pokémon from Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon will begin to appear in Pokémon Go. These Pokémon are from the Alola region and while waiting for the full update to go live on March 1, you can catch Alolan Exeggutor in the mobile game right now. 

Pokémon Unite

A new type of battle – Full-Fury Battles – will be added to the game today and on special days posted on the official website, you can play as any Pokémon (regardless of license) in this mode or any mode in Pokémon Unite. Furthermore, a special Pokémon Day event is now live, complete with commemorative Pokémon Day Trainer fashion items you’ll receive for simply logging in to the game during it. We also received a new look at Hoopa, who is joining the game and a tease at the next Pokémon getting added to the roster after that: Duraludon. 

Pokémon Masters EX

Pokémon Masters EX is celebrating its 2.5-year anniversary this month and Pokémon Day with new trainers and more. Victory Road features a new feature that allows you to join Sygna Suit Red and Sygna Suit Blue or Sygna Suit Leaf Trainers. Plus, you’ll get 5000 gems for trying out Victory Road. The Pokémon Company also revealed during today’s stream that May and Latias, Skyla and Tornadus, and Raihan and Flygon are joining the game, with their own special unique outfits, too. If you login today, you’ll receive 3000 gems. 

Pokémon Cafe Remix

Pokémon Cafe Remix is getting deliveries. Pelipper will now deliver your orders for you. Sometimes, Pelipper will deliver orders to Pokémon new to the game, such as Victini. The trailer for this update reveals that Victini will be especially useful in Pokémon Cafe Remix’s new puzzle mode, which will hit the game later this year. Alongside that, there’s three new events. 

The first event is called Bulbasaur’s Happy Pokémon Day, which includes a seven-day login bonus event and on the first day, you can earn a special crown for your Bulbasaur. A second event offers a higher chance that shiny Piplup will appear. All players can use Express Delivery in-game up to 11 times. This is the third and last event. With the second anniversary of Pokémon Cafe Remix approaching this June, The Pokémon Company says that a lot of new Pokémon will be added to the game. 

New Online Pokémon Anime

The Pokémon Company revealed during today’s stream that a new “online animated series” set in the Hisui region has begun production. This means that the game will take place in the world of Pokémon Legends: Arceus. The game will feature a unique story that premieres in 2022. 

And that’s everything revealed today during the Pokémon Day stream. Are you the most excited? We’d love to hear from you in the comments!
