This seems to be the release schedule for next year. There's a lot going on.
>It kicks off with a Pokémon Direct set to premiere on Pokémon Day (February 27th).
>The Direct starts with Ishihara presenting a trailer for "Detective Pikachu 2". The trailer starts off with a cutscene. Pikachu is running through a snowy forest being chased by a horde of Sneasel, ultimately making its way towards a frozen pond that starts to crack. Just before Pikachu and the Sneasel fall into the freezing water an Articuno flies off with Pikachu and the cutscene ends. Gameplay is then shown. There's a shot of Tim and Pikachu walking around a giant space observatory surrounded by some Minior. Another shot of the two hiding behind a dumpster in an alley seemingly spying on a Galarian Zigzagoon and Linoone. As well as a shot of them on a cooking set giving a Lickilicky some Moomoo Milk. A few scenes were shown but these are the ones that I remember. The game is set to release worldwide June 18th next year.
>Ishihara passes the presentation on to Masuda who has put together a video. The video is a trailer for the Diamond and Pearl remakes. The trailer starts off by showing the opening of the original Diamond and Pearl,right after that ends it immediately cuts to footage of the remakes and their recreation of the original games' opening (Floaroma Town looks gorgeous). The trailer ends with a split screen CGI cutscene of Dialga and Palkia both being ensnared by a red chain when suddenly a portal opens up above them, the portal above shots down a giant beam of light that breaks the chains and transforms them into these monstrous giants, right after that the camera pulls away from them, their final poses being traced over and being added onto the covers of the games. The remakes are called "Pokémon Eternal Diamond" and "Pokémon Infinite Pearl", set for a worldwide release November 19th next year. Masuda asks if the Pokémon on the covers could be Gigantamax forms of Dialga and Palkia.
