When Is Pokémon Presents 2025?
Although The Pokémon Company has not officially confirmed the date, Pokémon Presents typically occurs on or around Pokémon Day, celebrated on February 27 each year.

What Pokémon Fans Want to See at Pokémon Presents This Year
The February Pokémon Presents is traditionally a big day for Pokémon news. Last year's presentation introduced us to Pokémon Legends: Z-A and Pokémon TCG Pocket. This year, fans have a wishlist of announcements they're hoping for, listed here from most to least likely.
Pokémon Legends: Z-A Release Date
First and foremost, fans are eager for The Pokémon Company to announce the release date for its next main series game. Since the initial announcement, updates on Pokémon Legends: Z-A have been scarce, suggesting that the game might still be some time away. However, as it's slated for a 2025 release, Pokémon Presents would be the ideal platform to reveal a specific date. Additionally, fans are curious whether the game will be released on the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 or remain exclusive to the current Switch.
What’s Next for Pokémon TCG Pocket
Trading is set to be the next big feature for Pokémon TCG Pocket. Originally planned for a January 2025 launch, fans are ready for further updates on the mobile app. Developer DeNA has hinted at significant developments this year, and Pokémon Presents would be the perfect occasion to build on the game's hype and announce what's next. While new Booster Packs are expected, "other new features in development" suggest something more substantial.
Big News for Pokémon Sleep, Pokémon GO, UNITE, and More
Pokémon Presents is expected to cover updates on various mobile and live service games within the Pokémon universe. While specific hopes for these games are difficult to pinpoint, fans are eager for changes. Pokémon GO faced challenges in 2024, and though major overhauls are unlikely soon, improvements to avatars and accessibility support would be welcome. Pokémon Sleep is transitioning to Pokémon Works, causing some concern among players. Last year's introduction of a new Legendary Pokémon in Sleep sets the stage for more exciting news in 2025. For all these live service games, new information will almost certainly be part of Pokémon Presents, though the exact details remain unknown.
Pokémon Gen 10 News
Many fans speculate that Generation 10 will launch in 2026, marking the 20-year anniversary of Pokémon games. This timeline suggests that a Gen 10 game could be just over a year away, making a first look at Pokémon Presents feasible, given past announcement patterns. However, The Pokémon Company might prefer to keep the focus on Legends: Z-A for now. Still, with little news about upcoming traditional main series games, it's possible we might hear something about Gen 10 this year.
Pokémon Remakes in the Unova Region
Rumors of Unova remakes persist, and fans are hopeful for an announcement in 2025. With Pokémon GO celebrating the Unova region this year through the Unova Tour, and considering past patterns, the timing seems right for a remake. Given that Pokémon Legends: Z-A revisits a previous region, announcing a Unova remake would be an intriguing move by The Pokémon Company. However, since there's no strong precedent for Legends-style games yet, anything is possible, including a Unova remake announcement this year.
These are the key announcements that Pokémon fans are eagerly anticipating at Pokémon Presents 2025.
