We knew that the game would be released in "early" 2022, but January 2022 is incredibly close to Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl's release. Finally, there's the curious timing of Pokemon Legends: Arceus's release. Following that pattern, we're certainly due for a new generation of Pokemon games to launch in 2022. "Gen 6" launched in 2013, "Gen 7" launched in 2016" and "Gen 8" launched in 2019. Additionally, the past few generations have been released in three year cycles. While one is assumably working on Pokemon Legends: Arceus, the other is NOT working on Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, as those games are being developed by a third party. Game Freak (the developer of the main series of Pokemon games) has two development teams. There is some evidence that a "Gen 9" Pokemon game could be released in 2022. The upcoming games Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl and Pokemon Legends: Arceus are also both considered "Gen 8" games. Instead of receiving an "enhanced version" of Pokemon Sword and Shield, The Pokemon Company instead opted to release DLC for Pokemon Sword and Shield that nearly doubled the size of the game. We're currently in the eighth generation of Pokemon games, which started with the launch of Pokemon Sword and Shield in 2019. The Pokemon fanbase unofficially labels Pokemon games by generation, which are always marked by a new Pokemon game set in a new region and featuring new Pokemon.
