Pokémon Presents 2025: Fans' Biggest Hopes

Every year, February brings a wave of excitement for Pokémon fans with the arrival of Pokémon Day. This annual celebration is a perfect opportunity to revel in all things Pokémon, and it traditionally coincides with a massive Pokémon Presents showcase packed with thrilling news.

When Is Pokémon Presents 2025?

While The Pokémon Company hasn't officially announced the date, Pokémon Presents typically occurs around Pokémon Day, celebrated annually on February 27th. Data mined from Pokémon GO strongly suggests a February 27th presentation this year. The exact time remains undisclosed, but a recording will likely be available for those who miss the live stream.

What Pokémon Fans Want to See at Pokémon Presents This Year

The February Pokémon Presents is historically a major event for Pokémon news. Last year's showcase unveiled Pokémon Legends: Z-A and Pokémon TCG Pocket. This year, fans eagerly anticipate several announcements.

Pokémon Legends: Z-A Release Date

Topping the wish list is confirmation of the release date for the next main series game. Following the initial announcement, updates on Pokémon Legends: Z-A have been scarce, leaving fans anticipating a release date reveal. With a projected 2025 release, Pokémon Presents would be the ideal platform for this announcement. Confirmation of whether the game will launch on the Nintendo Switch 2 or remain on the original Switch is also highly anticipated.

What's Next for Pokémon TCG Pocket

Trading is the next significant feature coming to Pokémon TCG Pocket. Ideally, trading will be implemented *before* Pokémon Presents, as developers previously planned a January 2025 launch. If this timeline holds, fans will be ready for the next big update. Developer Dena has hinted at significant developments, and Pokémon Presents would be the perfect platform to generate hype and reveal what's next. Fans hope for a new set of Booster Packs, but "other new features in development" suggests something even more substantial.

Big News for Pokémon Sleep, Pokémon GO, UNITE, and More

Pokémon Presents will undoubtedly feature updates on other mobile and live service games within the Pokémon universe. However, specific fan expectations vary widely. Pokémon GO faced challenges in 2024, and many hope for significant improvements, though this is not considered highly likely in the near future. Fixes for the new avatars or the return of accessibility support would be welcomed, but fans aren't holding their breath. Pokémon Sleep is undergoing a transition to Pokémon Works, causing some player anxiety. Last year, new Legendary Pokémon were announced for Sleep; fans hope for similar exciting news this year.

New information for all these live service games is almost guaranteed at Pokémon Presents, but the specifics remain unknown.

Pokémon Gen 10 News

Many believe Gen 10 will arrive in 2026, marking the 20th anniversary of Pokémon games. This suggests a Gen 10 game could be just over a year away, making a first look announcement plausible. However, The Pokémon Company might prioritize maintaining hype for Legends: Z-A. They may not be ready to reveal what's next, even if it's in development. Nevertheless, with limited news on upcoming main series games, a Gen 10 announcement at Pokémon Presents is possible.

Pokémon Remakes in the Unova Region

Rumors of Unova remakes persist, and fans hope to see them realized this year. Pokémon GO's Unova region celebration this year, coupled with past remake patterns, fuels this anticipation. Given Pokémon Legends: Z-A's revisiting of a previous region, this would be an interesting strategic move. However, the lack of precedent for Legends-style games means anything is possible, including a Unova remake announcement in 2025.

These are the most anticipated announcements for Pokémon Presents 2025.
