The big rumor confirmed
First of all, this kind of conference started with an unpublished trailer of New Pokémon Snap. This Switch opus will take up the principle of the first game released on Nintendo 64 in 1999. It will therefore be necessary to photograph the famous creatures in their natural habitat. Each snapshot can be personalized and then shared online with other players. It will land on April 30, 2021.
Make way for an announcement that wasn't really a surprise. Indeed, the remakes of two old versions have thus been formalized. We will therefore be able to rediscover Pokémon Sparkling Diamond and Sparkling Pearl this fall, still on Switch. The graphics of these episodes initially released on DS in 2006 will quite logically be improved. Developed by ILCA (Pokémon Home), these remakes will contain all the content of the time.

Finally the dream project?
Finally, a certain Pokémon Legends: Arceus was revealed. This time, Game Freak is in charge of this action-RPG which will offer more open environments.

In terms of gameplay, the player will be free to explore the world, engage in fights against wild monsters, and crouch in the tall grass before capturing Pokemon. Héricendre, Brindibou and Moustillon will be the starters for this title. See you in early 2022 on Nintendo Switch to discover this Pokémon Legends: Arceus.
