Pokemon Pocket leak says next set focuses on Sinnoh

If the leak is legit, then the next Pokemon Pocket set will focus on Gen 4 Pokemon. This means the Garchomp, Lucario, and Sinnoh starters should have a huge focus in the set, as well as the evolutions for existing Gen 1 Pokemon that were introduced in those games.

If true, then it will be surprising to see a set based on Gen 4, considering most fans were expecting Johto and Pokemon Gold & Silver ‘Mons to take the spotlight, especially considering the lack of Dark andSteel-types in Pocket.

It’s less surprising to see it over certain other generations, asPokemon Go’s Dual Destiny seasonis currently focusing on Pokemon Black & White, while the upcoming Legends: Z-A is going to be about Kalos, so there might be a set that ties both together.

Pokemon Diamond & Pearl introduced some of the most popular ‘Mons in the franchise, so there will be a lot of fans excited to see them getting the spotlight in Pocket. While we probably won’t see highly-anticipated features like Mega Evolutions and Dynamax cards, there will still be plenty to look forward to when Cynthia’s friends take the field.
