Pokémon Day shocked everyone with the reveal of Generation 9, Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet. Before the big reveal, we talk about the Daybreak update to Pokémon Legends, the 2.5 Year Anniversary event in Pokémon Masters EX. Season of Alola is coming to Pokémon GO and Cafe Remix is getting some updates too. Pokémon Day did not seem to disappoint, although we have no Pokémon games planned in between now and Gen 9.
