Beyond Z-A, numerous possibilities exist. Fans eagerly anticipate news on the Pokémon TCG mobile app, a potential Pokémon Black and White remake, or even a glimpse at the Gen 10 mainline game. A new Pokémon Mystery Dungeon game, a long-shot but exciting prospect, also fuels fan hopes. The last major entry in this spin-off series was Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX (2020).
