Happy Pokémon Day! To celebrate Pokémon’s anniversary, The Pokémon Company published a very special Pokémon Presents. Throughout the presentation, updates on various Pokémon games were given – some new and some old. Pokémon GO’s moment in the spotlight was a new announcement, and it’s to say “Alola!” to some Pokémon…
Closing out today’s Pokémon Presents was a brief, live-action video that gave way to something much grander.
