Every year, *Pokemon* fans eagerly anticipate February, which brings the celebration of Pokemon Day. This holiday is not only a great excuse to revel in all things *Pokemon,* but it also traditionally features a massive Pokemon Presents presentation packed with exciting news and updates.
When Is Pokemon Presents 2025?
While The Pokemon Company has yet to officially announce the date, Pokemon Presents typically occurs on or around Pokemon Day, which is celebrated on February 27 each year. Thanks to datamines from *Pokemon GO,* fans are nearly certain that Pokemon Presents will take place on February 27 this year. Although the exact timing remains undisclosed, the live video will likely be available afterward as a recording for those unable to watch it live.

What Pokemon Fans Want to See at Pokemon Presents This Year
Historically, the February Pokemon Presents is a significant event for Pokemon news. Last year's presentation introduced us to *Pokemon Legends: Z-A* and *Pokemon TCG Pocket.* This year, fans have several items on their wishlists. Here's what we hope to see at this year's Pokemon Presents, ranked from most to least likely.
Pokemon Legends: Z-A Release Date

First and foremost, fans are eager for The Pokemon Company to announce the release date for its next main series game. Since the initial announcement of *Pokemon Legends: Z-A,* updates have been sparse, leading many to believe it's still some time away. However, given that the game is slated for release in 2025, Pokemon Presents would be the ideal opportunity to provide a concrete date. Fans are also curious to know whether the game will launch on the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 or remain exclusive to the current Switch.
What’s Next for Pokemon TCG Pocket
The next big feature coming to *Pokemon TCG Pocket* is trading, which developers have indicated should be introduced before the Pokemon Presents, with plans to add it in January 2025. If this timeline holds, fans of the mobile app will be eager for news on the next major update. Developer Dena has hinted at significant developments this year, making Pokemon Presents the perfect platform to announce what's next. While fans hope for new Booster Packs, the mention of "other new features in development" suggests something even more substantial may be on the horizon.
Big News for Pokemon Sleep, Pokemon GO, UNITE, and More

Pokemon Presents will undoubtedly cover updates for various other mobile and live service games within the Pokemon universe. However, pinpointing fans' exact expectations for these titles can be challenging. *Pokemon GO* faced a challenging year in 2024, and while major changes are desired, they may not be imminent. Improvements to the new avatars or the reintroduction of accessibility support would be welcome, though fans are not overly optimistic about these prospects.
As for *Pokemon Sleep,* the game is transitioning to Pokemon Works, causing some concern among players. Last year's announcement of a new Legendary Pokemon for *Sleep* has raised hopes for another significant reveal this year. For all these live service games, new information is almost guaranteed at Pokemon Presents, though the specifics remain a mystery.
Pokemon Gen 10 News
Many fans speculate that Gen 10 will launch in 2026, coinciding with the 20-year anniversary of *Pokemon* games, making it just over a year away. This timing isn't impossible for a first look, given the history of prior announcements. However, The Pokemon Company might choose to maintain the focus on *Legends: Z-A* for now and delay revealing what's next. Still, with limited news about upcoming main series games in the traditional format, it's possible we might hear something about Gen 10 at Pokemon Presents this year.
Pokemon Remakes in the Unova Region

Rumors of Unova remakes have persisted, and fans are hopeful that 2025 will finally bring them to fruition. With *Pokemon GO* celebrating the Unova region through the Unova Tour this year, the timing seems ripe for such an announcement. Considering that *Pokemon Legends: Z-A* revisits a previous region, announcing a Unova remake would be an intriguing move by The Pokemon Company. While there's no solid precedent for Legends-style games yet, the possibility of a Unova remake announcement in 2025 remains open.
These are the top announcements that Pokemon fans are eager to see during *Pokemon Presents 2025*.
