Bringing the Thunder
I don't think we're getting DLC the same year as LA, that's probably all we get for 2022.No, if Gen 9 is coming in 2023( since I doubt it's 2022) then DLCs are definitely coming next year. As of LG Johto( made by ILCA) they would come out in 2025 which means 2026 is Gen 10 because it's 30th anniversary.
And my point is I don't think Gen 9 is even coming in 2023. Can you see them releasing large scale Pokemon adventures in back to back years? I can't. LA and Gen 9 almost have to be at least 2-3 years apart, Game Freak wouldn't be able to handle releasing games that frequently (and there are few devs that can).
Also, I'm starting to wonder if this game was meant for this year and got delayed because of COVID. It is strange that they're releasing it in Early 2022 when what, the last 6 games in a row have been in October/November? This game seems like it was meant to be the big 25th anniversary game with BDSP being an appetizer, so maybe they originally intended for BDSP to be released early this year and LA in October/November?
