In theNew Pokemon Snaptrailer that aired in today’s Pokemon Presents, fans got a glimpse at some new content in the game. Towards the end, it was revealed that the Mythical Psychic and Grass-type Celebi is going to make a special appearance. Fans saw Celebi flying around a forest glade, stopping just long enough to pose for a picture.
It is quite possible that Celebi is going to be one of the final encounters in the game, especially since the 1999Pokemon Snapsaw the Mythical Pokemon Mew at the end of the game. WhileCelebi was first introduced inPokemon GoldandSilveras the guardian of the Ilex Forest in the Johto region, this Mythical Pokemon has been known to appear all throughout time and space. Plus, it is known in legend as “The Voice of the Forest,” so that could explain what Celebi is doing in the forests of the Lental region.
It is unclear if Celebi will be the onlyMythical or Legendary Pokemon to appear inNew Pokemon Snap, but fans shouldn’t expect too many other additions. While the originalPokemon Snaponly had one generation of Pokemon to show off, there are now eight different generations that players can see included inNew Pokemon Snap. The Legendary Birds, Moltres, Zapdos, and Articuno were around in the originalPokemon Snap, so there are plenty of options that could be in the sequel.
Pokemon fans have plenty to look forward to afterNew Pokemon Snapis released, too. From the special P25 Music program all through 2021 to the freshly announcedPokemon Legends: Arceusopen-world RPGcoming in 2022, Pokemon players will be satisfied for quite some time.
