As the world of Pokémon enthusiasts eagerly anticipates the 28th anniversary of the popular franchise, there are whispers of a multitude of surprises on the horizon. Among the most eagerly awaited is the rumored remake of the beloved Pokémon Black & White. In fact, recent events seem to hint that this speculation may be on the mark. The Pokémon Company has recently unveiled some preliminary details regarding their anniversary celebration plans. In a unique and spectacle-worthy collaboration with The Toy Foundation, the iconic Empire State Building will be bathed in the franchise’s symbolic yellow and blue colors. From dusk till dawn, the New York City skyline will be punctuated with this vibrant display.
But that’s not all. The Pokémon Company is also showing its philanthropic side by making a generous donation of $10,000 to The Toy Foundation. This contribution will be used to support underprivileged children in New York City. This gesture is fitting, given that the Unova region of the Pokémon Black & White games, which is the backdrop for the adventure, draws inspiration from New York City. This connection is particularly evident in the depiction of the city of Castelia, noted for its impressive skyscrapers. With the 15th anniversary of Pokémon Black & White coming up in 2025, there is a strong suggestion that The Pokémon Company may be paving the way for a major announcement – specifically, the return of Unova, either through a much-anticipated remake or a brand new game in the vein of Pokémon Legends: Arceus. Pokémon enthusiasts worldwide are eagerly awaiting the upcoming Pokémon Presents event, which will be broadcasted online on February 27th at 3pm Italian time, where future releases are expected to be announced.
