Speaking of Pokemon Day, last week it was spotted that a new website had been launched in honour of the annual fan event. Although the website looks pretty ordinary on the surface, a datamine of the new site did reveal a mention of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon developer Spike Chunsoft.
Now, we're not saying that a new Pokemon Mystery Dungeon game is set to be revealed, but considering this is the second time the spin-off game has been mentioned recently (the first being in the form of an email from Nintendo), we wouldn't be surprised if it did make an appearance during next week's event.
In terms of some probably less likely but still plausible predictions, fans are holding out hope for some Pokemon Scarlet and Violet DLC - which would be pretty impressive to see from developer Game Freak considering the base game was only released last November.
There's also a lot of speculation surrounding the recently launched Nintendo Switch Online Game Boy/GBA expansions which, as of right now, are lacking a lot of classic Pokemon titles like Pokemon Yellow, Pokemon Gold/Silver, Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire, and more.

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to release a number of indie titles. I then got even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at GamesRadar+ before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of training. My expertise lies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, and The Last of Us, but especially in the Kingdom Hearts series. I'm also known to write about the odd Korean drama for the Entertainment team every now and then.
