"We really just wanted to try a new thing with the special demo version. One of the core defining characteristics of Pokemon is how, obviously the games are enjoyed by everyone, but another part of the fun is the surrounding community and the conversations that happen outside of the game. So we kind of thought of this special demo version as one of those outside elements. It's not part of the main game, it's an external element that people around the world can play and talk about what they found in the special demo version. You'll also be able to play it multiple times and bring the Pokemon you find in it into the main game. So it's just another one of those surrounding elements of the overall Pokemon brand that ties into and makes the core game more fun."
