During a May 26 interview withGamespot, the Niantic employee spoke on a variety of topics regarding the popular mobile game including in-person events as well as Go Fest 2022.
However, a few comments stood out as the interviewer asked the dev if there were any plans for cross-promotion between PoGo and Legends Arceus, Scarlet, and Violet.
They revealed: “What I would say is that–and not in a specific answer to your question–is absolutely. We’re always very close with them in terms of everything that’s going on in the world of Pokemon, and we always want to investigate everything. So at some point, hopefully, some of those things will come to light and we can have an announcement around those…
“We wouldn’t be doing our job if any time that they release something new we didn’t also release something new. We explore those conversations, but obviously, those are things that we need to go through the process and see what’s possible or not.”
