Pokemon Day 2025: What to Expect from Pokemon Presents
Every February, Pokemon enthusiasts eagerly anticipate Pokemon Day, a celebration of all things Pokemon. This annual event traditionally features a major Pokemon Presents showcase brimming with exciting announcements.
While The Pokemon Company hasn't officially announced the date, Pokemon Presents typically coincides with Pokemon Day, celebrated annually on February 27th. Pokemon GO datamines strongly suggest a February 27th presentation this year. The precise time remains undisclosed, but a recording will likely be available post-premiere.
The February Pokemon Presents is historically a significant event for Pokemon news. Last year's showcase revealed Pokemon Legends: Z-A and Pokemon TCG Pocket. This year, fan expectations are high. Here's a likely-to-unlikely wishlist:
Top of the list is confirmation of the next main series game's release date. Following the initial announcement, updates on Pokemon Legends: Z-A have been scarce. With a 2025 release anticipated, Pokemon Presents would be ideal for a concrete date. Fans also eagerly await confirmation of its platform – Nintendo Switch 2 or the original Switch.
Trading is the next major feature for Pokemon TCG Pocket. Trading is theoretically slated for a January 2025 launch. If so, fans anticipate the next big update announcement at Pokemon Presents. Developer Dena has teased significant developments, and the event would be perfect for revealing new booster packs and other features.
Pokemon Presents will undoubtedly include updates for other Pokemon mobile and live service games. Specific fan hopes vary. Pokemon GO experienced challenges in 2024, and while significant changes aren't guaranteed, fixes for issues like the new avatars or the return of accessibility features are highly desired. Pokemon Sleep's transition to Pokemon Works has generated player concerns. Following last year's announcement of new Legendary Pokemon, fans hope for more exciting news.
Many predict Gen 10's arrival in 2026, coinciding with the 20th anniversary of Pokemon games. While a first look isn't impossible, The Pokemon Company might prioritize Legends: Z-A hype. However, the lack of traditional main series game news increases the possibility of Gen 10 information.
Rumors of Unova remakes persist, and fans hope for confirmation. Pokemon GO's Unova Tour adds to the anticipation, aligning with the remake pattern of previous regions. While Pokemon Legends: Z-A revisits past regions, a precedent for Legends-style games is still developing, leaving the possibility of a Unova remake announcement open.
These are the most anticipated announcements for Pokemon Presents 2025.
