The news arrives after consistent rumours about the announcement of Pokemon Diamond & Pearl remakes, including repeated leaker Centro Pokemon saying that fans wouldn’t have to wait until Febrary 27 for “big news they’ve been waiting for”, accompanied by images of legendary Pokemon introduced in Diamond and Pearl.

Have you played Pokemon Diamond Version?

YESNO

February 27 marks the Pokemon series’ 25th anniversary, lending some credence to the idea of an announcement – and one that looks back to the series’ past feels somewhat appropriate. All rumours should be taken with a grain of salt, however.

It seems likely that we could also learn about yet-to-be-released Pokemon games such as New Pokemon Snap, Pokemon Sleep, and the (somewhat controversial) Pokemon Unite.
