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 presentation brimming with exciting news.
When is Pokemon Presents 2025?
While The Pokemon Company hasn't officially confirmed the date, Pokemon Presents typically coincides with Pokemon Day, celebrated annually on February 27th. Data mined from Pokemon GO strongly suggests a February 27th reveal this year. The precise time remains undisclosed, but a recording will likely be available for those unable to watch the live stream.
What Pokemon Fans Hope to See
The February Pokemon Presents is historically a significant event for Pokemon news. Last year's presentation unveiled Pokemon Legends: Z-A and Pokemon TCG Pocket. This year, fan anticipation centers on several key announcements:
Pokemon Legends: Z-A Release Date
Top of the wish list is confirmation of the release date for the next main series game. Following the initial announcement, updates on Pokemon Legends: Z-A have been sparse, fueling speculation about its release window. With a slated 2025 launch, Pokemon Presents would be the ideal platform to announce a concrete date and clarify whether it will launch on the Nintendo Switch or the anticipated Nintendo Switch 2.
Pokemon TCG Pocket Updates
Trading is the next major feature anticipated for Pokemon TCG Pocket. Trading is theoretically slated for a January 2025 release, preceding Pokemon Presents. Following this, fans eagerly await news of the next major update. Developer Dena has hinted at significant developments, and Pokemon Presents would be the perfect venue to unveil them, possibly including new Booster Packs or other substantial features.
News on Pokemon Sleep, Pokemon GO, UNITE, and More
Pokemon Presents will undoubtedly include updates on other mobile and live-service Pokemon titles. While specific fan expectations vary, Pokemon GO experienced challenges in 2024, leading to hopes for significant improvements. Fixes for avatar issues or the restoration of accessibility features would be welcome, although their likelihood remains uncertain.
Pokemon Sleep's transition to Pokemon Works has caused player concern. Last year's announcement of new Legendary Pokemon for Sleep raises anticipation for further significant reveals this year. New information on these live-service games is almost guaranteed, though the specifics remain unknown.
Pokemon Gen 10 and Unova Region Remakes
Many believe Gen 10 will arrive in 2026, coinciding with the 20th anniversary of Pokemon games. A first look isn't impossible, given the timing of previous announcements. However, The Pokemon Company might prioritize maintaining hype for Legends: Z-A before revealing Gen 10. Nevertheless, the lack of news regarding upcoming main series games makes a Gen 10 announcement a possibility.
Rumors of Unova region remakes persist. With Pokemon GO's Unova Tour this year, and following established remake patterns, this is a highly anticipated development. While Pokemon Legends: Z-A revisits a previous region, the precedent for Legends-style games is limited, making a Unova remake announcement a viable possibility.
These are the most anticipated announcements expected during Pokemon Presents 2025.
