Pokémon: between main games and spin-offs, a leak anticipates the new releases
Pokémon
During the beginning of January, a tweet from Samus Hunter, a Nintendo insider, who spoke about the Pokémon franchise and what could await us during the course of this year, went very unnoticed. The twitter, launched in recent weeks, has tried to take stock of the situation regarding the future of the brand, which in just under a week will see the launch of a highly anticipated title, namely Arcues.According to words of Hunter, at the moment Nintendo would have several news plans regarding the next games in the Pokémon series. The fiscal year 2022 will in fact see several announcements. The first is certainly that of a new game in the series, with a trailer that should arrive in June but according to the insider there could be teasers a few months earlier. In addition to this, updates would also be provided for some titles already released, such as the remakes of Pearl and Diamond and obviously the title belonging to the Legends vein, which will debut on January 28, 2022.
In addition to this, according to Hunter , Nintendo would have other spin-off plans. A first hypothesis could concern the expansion of the Detective Pikachu franchise. The landing on mobile is also to be taken into consideration, as well as on consoles, but for now the information coming from The Pokémon Company is not very clear.
New spin-offs are also coming for mobile and console, I don 't rule out that we might see some Detective Pikachu related stuff.
These are TPC's general plans as of today, in the coming weeks / months I will try to keep you updated. I will talk about Nintendo in the coming days.

Clearly we invite you to take these words with a grain of salt. Despite Samus Hunter's reliability, news of this kind obviously deserves to be treated with caution. The new year has just begun and after the release of Pokémon Legends: Arceus, new announcements could arrive from Nintendo and the company that owns the rights of the franchise but for now we are still in the field of rumors and indiscretions. We will update you as soon as there are more news and details in the pipeline, so keep following sportsgaming.win for all the updates from the world of video games.
The next Pokémon games will debut on Nintendo Switch: you can buy the Lite version of the console on Amazon.
This Week in Pokémon GO: Power Plant Event Part 2, Minun Spotlight Hour and more
The time has come: The release week of Pokémon Legends: Arceus has arrived, so Pokémon GO players might be in for a surprise or two – after all, data miners have already tracked down Hisuian Voltorb in the smartphone games’ data. The only question is what plans Niantic has for the promo event – will it be integrated into the ongoing Power Plant event, or will February kick off with an Arceus event? Does the mysterious portal you’re currently exploring as part of the Season of Heritage give us the answer?
More questions pop up every week. But before you endlessly rack your brains over them, you might want to catch some Pokémon – the XP Challenge is slowly winding down. To find out what’s on offer in Pokémon GO during the week of Jan. 24-30, 2022, check out our weekly preview below.
Monday, Jan. 24, 2022, starting at 12 a.m. local time
Team GO Rocket interferes with the exploration of the power plant and must once again be put in its place. As part of this, the spawn rate of the grunts at PokéStops increases and balloons appear more frequently. In addition, the takeover attempt allows you to make your Shadow Pokémon forget about the mostly useless attack Frustration via Charge TM – if you want to make your Shadow forms fit for PvP battles or raids, you should take this chance.
We’ll inform you about further developments – such as the possible return of Jessie and James or an appearance by Giovanni, Arlo, Cliff, and Sierra – here.
Monday, Jan. 24, 2022, starting at 10 a.m. local time
Accompanying the second half of the Power Plant event are changes to the third and fifth level raid bosses: Regice replaces Genesect (Shock Drive) in the legendary raids and is guaranteed to master the move Thunder if you catch it this week.
In the third level fights you’ll meet Dewgong, Piloswine, Monferno, and Druddigon – the Dragon-type may appear in the Shiny version.
Level one raids remain unchanged, leaving you to battle and catch Pikachu, Beldum, Shinx, Blitzle, and Klink – all of which can be Shiny.
Monday, Jan. 24, 2022, starting at 10 p.m. local time
Yes, it’s been another 14 days. Time flies when you’re in the middle of a battle, doesn’t it? Great League and the Sinnoh Cup will only remain available until Monday evening, after which they will be replaced by Ultra League and Ultra League Premier Classic. The latter will block Pokémon upgraded with XL Candies from participating. The two formats are accessible until February 7 – at which point there’ll be a lot of wholesome and violent cuddling with Love Cup starting up. Aw, yeah!
Tuesday, Jan. 25, 2022, 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. local time
January 2022’s Spotlight Hours will end with a cute blue electric mouse: Minun. The monster will have an increased spawn rate on Tuesday night. As a bonus, you’ll get double Candy for sending Pokémon to Professor Willow – a good opportunity to clean up your stash, which is probably going to be full of Bulbasaur after Saturday’s Community Day Classic.
Wednesday, Jan. 26, 2022, 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. local time
Regice returns to Pokémon GO as a fifth-level raid boss and will be available to catch with the guaranteed attack Thunder – unfortunately, it’s not a really useful move for the Ice Giant. Thunder Regice is therefore mainly a case for collectors. The Wednesday night Raid Hour drives the monster’s spawn rate through the roof at all Gyms, so you can melt it down en masse with large groups of fellow trainers. If you’re lucky, you’ll run into the Shiny variant – and Shiny Thunder Regice could well become a real rarity in any collection.
Additionally, the Ice-type is pretty easy to defeat, and each raid of this level gives you 10,000 experience points (XP) – a good chance to make up ground in January’s XP Challenge.
There is a suspicious lack of events around Pokémon Legends: Arceus’ launch date (January 28), so either Niantic wants to give you time to check it out without missing anything, or Monday’s Rocket takeover produces further developments. We’ll keep you in the loop.
