- Post-game enormous, return of PokéAthlon, following Pokémon, PokéRadar, Pokétch, an expanded Battle Frontier, the GTS, the WiFi Plaza and actual extensive side quests, some of them tie into the former event Pokémon
- Will be announced in a Pokémon Direct which is 70 Minutes long where Ohmori and Masuda openly address the decreasing quality of recent games, apologize and officially resign from all major offices within GameFreak; SworShie will be removed from the canon of Pokémon Games
- Nintendo feared that the game would be too large for the Switch, Morimoto replied that "it is not a remake, I think it's more than that"
- Home and Bank will be re-released as a singular software for 7.99$ a year
- The Safari Zone will be able to be entered in a Co-Op and Vs. Mode with friends or strangers, with the victor being determined by the collective rarity of all caught Pokémon in the latter
- The new Distortion World are edging the Switch's capabilities
- Five difficulty settings selectable at the very start of one of the three save files
- Extreme Difficulty changes the moveset and the overall AI to be more competent and capable of switching in and out, with some major battles having rudimentary predictions of your moveset
- Redesigned models of most Pokémon and Humans with more varied and unique animations
- 100% the game in a speedrun would take "300 hours", according to my imagination
