Sunday morning The Pokemon Company officially unveiled the next main-series releases in the Pokemon franchise, Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet. Many Pokemon fans were caught off-guard by the announcement, however. Either they weren't aware there was a Pokemon Presents event at all, or they didn't realize it was going to be such a big deal. There's a good reason for that, however. The Pokemon Company has confirmed it reduced promotion of the event due to the ongoing Ukraine conflict.
