Pokémon has just announced new games that you'll inevitably obsess over at its 2018 video game press conference in Tokyo on PortugalTuesday.

The first is Pokémon Quest, a "free-to-start game" now available on Nintendo Switch, and will be available on iOS and Android by late June.

Players can "face off against wild Pokémon and embark on many exciting expeditions" on a new land called Tumblecube Island.

It seems like the game will only feature first-generation Pokémon, with the notable difference being that the characters have a boxy, cube-like appearance.

Yeah, we know, it kinda looks like Minecraft. But the characters are so damn cute.

On Tumblecube Island, gamers can collect "hidden treasure and special items." One special item, "Power Stones," will allow players to strengthen their Pokémon.

You can also gather Pokémon into teams of three for battle.

Also announced at the conference was Pokemon: Let's Go Pikachu!and its counterpart, Pokémon:Let's Go Eevee!,set to be released on Switch come Nov. 16.

Based on Pokémon Yellowfor Game Boy in 1998, the RPG will have either Pikachu or Eevee tail you throughout the game.

With the other half of the Joy-Con controller, you can also play with another person simultaneously, and the game even links up to Pokémon Go,where you can transfer caught Pokémon.

There's also a special device being released for the game, the Poké Ball Plus, which allows players to use it (and throw it!) in lieu of a controller.

Poké Ball Plus also connects to Pokémon Go, and will light up and vibrate if there's a Pokémon nearby, even while you're out and about. Sorry if you had other plans.
