 The game was announced worldwide on the {{pkmn|25th Anniversary}} of the release of {{game|Red and Green|s}} on February 27, 2021 at 12 am JST through [[Pokémon Press Conference|Pokémon Presents]]. It will be released worldwide on January 28, 2022. All copies of the game are playable in nine languages: Japanese, English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Korean, and Simplified and Traditional Chinese.
+==Plot==
+The player character's goal is to complete the region's first Pokédex.
+==Features==
+* The game features {{p|Rowlet}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, and {{p|Oshawott}} as [[starter Pokémon]], and [[Rei]] and [[Akari]] as [[player character]]s. Other NPCs include the members of the [[Galaxy Expedition Team]].
+* The game takes place in the [[Hisui]] region, a past version of [[Sinnoh]].
+* All standard wild encounters now appear to be [[symbol encounter]]s. Pokémon may exhibit different behaviors, such as fleeing, sleeping/waking, emoting, or becoming aggressive. These behaviors may differ depending on the in-game weather or time of day.
+* The player may catch Pokémon from the overworld directly by throwing a [[Poké Ball]]. An aiming reticle appears on-screen during this.
+* Poké Balls have an 'old-fashioned' appearance in this game, with a wooden bottom half, a buckle-shaped metal-colored implement instead of a button, and a valve on top that puffs out steam on a successful catch.
+* To battle a wild Pokémon, the player must throw one of their own Pokémon's Poké Balls nearby.
+* A feature similar to Ride Pokémon appears to be present, with Hisuian Braviary shown representing flying/soaring, Basculegion shown representing surfing (and seemingly leaping down a waterfall), and Wyrdeer shown representing fast overworld movement.
+* Under unknown circumstances, Pokémon with angry red eyes are shown in the overworld and in battle. These Pokémon may still be caught.
+* Pokémon may attack the player in the overworld, and the player may also take damage by falling from high places. Taking too much damage will cause a [[black out]].
+* In the overworld, the player has access to action-related elements such as rolling and diving leaps.
+* The concept of turns in battle has received an overhaul, with the game now presenting an Action Order showing which sides are to get the next six turns. Depending on speed and "other factors", one side may get multiple turns in a row.
+* Moves may be used in the Strong Style, which increases that move's power but lowers action speed, or in the Agile Style, which decreases that move's power but raises action speed.
+* Outside of [[Jubilife Village]], [[Pokémon Centers]] appear to have been replaced by [[Base camp]]s, which allow healing, item purchasing, and the new item [[crafting]] feature.
+** Poké Balls require 1 Apricorn and 1 Tumblestone to craft.
+** [[Heavy Ball]]s require 1 Apricorn and 1 Black Tumblestone to craft. Heavy Balls are thrown in a shorter arc and work better on Pokémon that have not yet noticed the player.
+** [[Smoke Bomb]]s require 1 Sootfoot Root and 1 Caster Fern to craft. In the overworld, throwing one at the ground helps prevent wild Pokémon from noticing the player.
+** [[Revive]]s are also shown in the crafting menu, though its requirements are unknown.
+* The player's [[Bag]] is now referred to as a "satchel".
+* Completing a Pokédex entry now requires more than just catching a certain Pokémon once, with other requirements varying from multiple catches to seeing a Pokémon use certain moves multiple times.
+===New Pokémon and forms===
+* Two new Pokémon ({{p|Wyrdeer}} and {{p|Basculegion}}) and two new [[Hisuian Form]]s (for {{p|Growlithe}} and {{p|Braviary}}) have been shown.
+===Connectivity===
+The game is confirmed to support online connectivity and trading with other players, but will not support [[Ranked Battle]]s. The game is planned to receive [[Pokémon HOME]] connectivity at some point in 2022.
