Pokémon Day 2025: Predictions and Hopes for Pokémon Presents
Every February, Pokémon fans eagerly anticipate Pokémon Day, a celebration of all things Pokémon, typically marked by a major Pokémon Presents showcase. While The Pokémon Company hasn't officially announced the date, it's highly likely to coincide with Pokémon Day, February 27th. Data mined from Pokémon GO strongly suggests a February 27th presentation. The exact time remains undisclosed, but a recording will likely be available afterward.
What Fans Want to See:
The February Pokémon Presents usually delivers significant Pokémon news. Last year's event unveiled Pokémon Legends: Z-A and Pokémon TCG Pocket. This year, fans have several key hopes:
Top of the wishlist is a confirmed release date for Pokémon Legends: Z-A. Following the initial announcement, updates have been sparse, leaving fans uncertain about its release window. With a projected 2025 launch, Pokémon Presents would be the ideal platform for a concrete date. Confirmation of its platform – Nintendo Switch 2 or the original Switch – is also highly anticipated.
Trading is the next significant feature coming to Pokémon TCG Pocket. Trading is theoretically slated for a January 2025 launch. If this timeline holds, fans expect the next major update to be revealed at the Presents. Developer DeNA has teased substantial upcoming content, making Pokémon Presents the perfect venue for announcements, potentially including new Booster Packs and other unannounced features.
Pokémon Presents will undoubtedly feature updates on various mobile and live-service Pokémon titles. Specific fan hopes vary widely. Pokémon GO faced challenges in 2024, leading to desires for significant changes, though this is less likely in the short term. Improvements to avatars or the restoration of accessibility features are highly sought after.
Pokémon Sleep's transition to Pokémon Works has generated player concern. Last year's announcement of new Legendary Pokémon for Sleep raises hopes for similarly significant reveals this year. New information across these live-service games is practically guaranteed, but the specifics remain unknown.
Many speculate that Gen 10 will launch in 2026, coinciding with the 20th anniversary of Pokémon games. This suggests a potential first look at Gen 10 within the next year. However, The Pokémon Company might prioritize maintaining hype for Legends: Z-A, delaying any Gen 10 reveal. Despite this, the lack of news on traditional main-series games makes a Gen 10 announcement a possibility.
Rumors of Unova region remakes persist, with fans hoping for confirmation. Pokémon GO's Unova Tour adds fuel to this speculation, aligning with the pattern of previous remakes. While Pokémon Legends: Z-A revisits a past region, this precedent is still relatively new, leaving the possibility of a Unova remake announcement open.
These are the most anticipated announcements for Pokémon Presents 2025.
