Fans were more interested in learning the future of the franchise, especially following the polarizing reception to the Gen 9 games. Many people expected areturn to the Unova region, especially following several hints in the Pokemon Scarlet & Violet DLC.
What fans weren’t expecting was a return to the Kalos region, last seen in Gen 6, as there had been no hints that The Pokemon Company wanted to revisit the Pokemon version of France.
