The dream would be a true sequel to Sword and Shield, but we don&#8217;t think that will happen. <em>Game Informer<\/em>&#8216;s Brian Shea is rightfully tempering his expectations, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gameinformer.com\/2021\/02\/12\/what-i-want-from-pokemons-25th-anniversary-celebration\">shared his thoughts<\/a> on what he&#8217;d like to see. Along with more information on the forthcoming New Pok\u00e9mon Snap, which seems like a given, Brian is hoping to hear of new Let&#8217;s Go games, more expansions for Sword and Shield, and the classic games back in their original forms. He also wants to see the 25th anniversary celebrated in style.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t want to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Pok\u00e9mon with simply a plethora of Pikachu in Sword &#038; Shield or an in-game Pok\u00e9mon Go event where I have to pay $12 to participate,&#8221; he wrote. &#8220;Give us fun activities that harken back to the spirit of those first games. Have Team Rocket invade Sword &#038; Shield or bring back the original gym leaders in the post-game arena. And you can keep your Pikachu with a party hat in Pok\u00e9mon Go.\u00a0Give us something to be excited about that feels like a true celebration, not a phoned-in &#8220;maybe I&#8217;ll check that out if I find time&#8221; cosmetic.
