## [](#so-not-nothing-new)So not nothing new?

Well maybe not in new game form. At the very least, this could have something to do with Pokemon Home, or even more unannounced content for the games.

Or they could be making more Pokemon available through DLC. Or DLC in general.
Honestly though … we dont know, we will find out tomorrow at 15:30, so be sure to check it out together with us; [https://www.nintendoreporters.com/en/news/general/pokemon-direct-announced-for-january-9th/ ](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/en/news/general/pokemon-direct-announced-for-january-9th/)
