‘Tis the season for surprises.

Just in case Nintendo’s surprise release of Jump Rope Challenge wasn’t surprising enough, now it seems The Pokémon Company is getting on the action, as a new YouTube broadcast has been announced.

Instead of being branded as a Pokémon Direct, it is instead named “Pokémon Presents” and will air on June 17, 2020 at 6AM P.D.T.

This could be a last-minute showcase of what’s in store for the “The Isle of Armor” DLC for Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield, be a bit of news regarding Pokémon HOME and possibly even other stuff, but for now, it’s better to lower expectations and what will be, will be.
