>DLC 3+4 for SwSh are planned for 2021; this will complete the National Pokedex for Generation 8.
>DP remakes and Let's Go! 2 are viewed as 2022/2023 releases.
>Gen 9 is in its relatively early stages and was always planned to have a longer dev cycle. It will release on the next Nintendo console.
>However there are already some ambitious ideas which are being looked into
>The region will be based on Italy.
>Dynamax and Gigantamax are not returning; however Raids are still something that viewed as an integral feature going forward
>The sporting aspect of SwSh's setting will be carried over; however it's a known fact that team sports are more popular than individual sports
>To address all these desires at once, the game will introduce forming a party with a close knit group of companion trainers.
>You can recruit your real life friends with an online connection for a co-op experience, or recruit NPC companions. This takes inspiration from the Pokemon anime series, The Pokemon Masters spinoff, and was the initial vision behind the BW and XY rivals.
>The many interruptions and surprise battles have been removed and are largely up to the player's personal pacing. There will be one singular antagonistic rival to fulfill that purpose.
>The hope is that competitive players will form parties and have large scale ranked multi-battles with each other, with support moves being more viable than ever. Consider 3v3s, 5v5s, or even 10v10s and beyond- with each trainer having a team of 6 the possibilities are incredibly overwhelming and a massive undertaking for the future of the battle system.
>In the story it will be mainly avoidable except for a couple boss battles, where it's essentially a similar premise as Raids/Totem Pokemon battles.
>You can still choose to venture out completely alone for a traditional experience.
>Pokemon #1000 will be tied into Arceus's lore and teased in the DP remakes before being obtainable in the post-game of the Gen 9 games.
