Pokemon fans have had a pretty great year so far, and it's all down to one game. The release of Pokemon Legends: Arceus went off with a bang, with critics calling it the Pokemon title that we've all wanted for years, exceeding expectations and despite reasonable scepticism, fans are loving the semi-open-world adventure across the Hisui region. But, that's not all for us.

This Sunday is set to bring a brand new Pokemon Presents conference, and if previous instances of the showcase are to be taken as foreshadowing, then something big could be getting announced. And fans think they know what's coming.

Fans Are Confident That Gen 9 Is Coming Soon

Excitement has been brewing ever since the announcement of the new Pokemon Presents, and some fans think that something monumental is on the way.

So far, fans have taken to Twitter to suggest that the ninth generation of Pokemon games could be getting an announcement on Sunday, bringing with it all-new Pokemon, a new region, and a new collection of games.

For some it may be too soon after Legends: Arceus and the maligned Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl remakes - but others are already excited for the imminent announcement.

It's a huge announcement to expect on a conspicuous Sunday, but who knows - these fans could be right after all.

How Can I Watch The Pokemon Presents Video?

The upcoming Pokemon Presents video is coming this Sunday at 2pm UK time and is expected to be streaming from the official Pokemon YouTube channel. The video is set to be 14 minutes long, and it'll stay on the channel after the initial broadcast, so if you miss its debut, it'll be waiting for you afterwards.

 

Who knows what the video will actually reveal - but thankfully we don't actually have to wait that long to find out. If Gen 9 really is getting a reveal, then it's going to be a very big day for fans indeed.
