Pokémon Cafe Mix

Puzzle game fans will be delighted to see this brand new puzzle game for both the Switch and mobile. In Pokémon Cafe Mix, you are in charge of your own Pokémon Cafe, where you serve dishes to your Pokémon customers by completing fun puzzles. As you progress, you can build and expand on your cafe, as well as recruit new Pokémon to help give you an edge in puzzles. The art style is adorable and is free-to-start on June 23rd.

Pokémon Cafe Mix's art style is adorable, and the puzzles are pretty unique.

New Pokémon Snap

At long last, the Nintendo 64 photography classic Pokémon Snap is getting a sequel in New Pokémon Snap! It has been over 21 years since the last game, and with how many Pokémon have been added to the roster over the years, that’s a whole lot of photography-based fun in store for the new game. The game is as simple and fun as ever, where you move along a track teeming with wild Pokémon and do your best to capture the best photos possible. You travel through a bunch of environments, all with different Pokémon to see as you aim to complete your Photodex. This has been a widely requested game for years, so it is great to see a new game after all this time. This game doesn’t have a release date just yet, so check back here when one is announced!

New Pokémon Snap has the benefit of 20 years of new Pokémon since the last game.

Pokémon GO

Pokémon GO fans can soon expect colossal Mega-Evolutions to hit the mobile game. Not much information was shown off about specifically which Pokémon can Mega-Evolve, but the transformation will be on a per-battle basis and will most likely require players to collect a special Mega-Evolution stone to trigger it. More details will come soon.

Pokémon GO keeps adding new features to make things fresh.

Pokémon Sword and Shield Expansion

For the mainline games Sword and Shield, the first major expansion is available now to download. The Isle of Armor takes trainers to a brand new location, complete with new monsters to catch. The next part is scheduled to release, The Crown Tundra is hitting this Fall. As an added bonus of the first expansion, your Pokémon can follow behind your trainer, but only in the new area for some reason.
