The official Pokémon Twitter account also said that a special never-before-seen Pokémon was referenced at the end of the Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Let’s Go, Eevee! trailer. This could be hinting at the first generation eight Pokémon coming in the 2019 game.

Even though there isn’t a lot of information available about this unnamed Pokémon game at this time, fans of the franchise are undoubtedly excited about the future of the franchise.
