What Pokemon Fans Want to See at Pokemon Presents This Year
Historically, the February Pokemon Presents event is a major occasion for Pokemon news. Last year's presentation gave us our first glimpses of Pokemon Legends: Z-A and Pokemon TCG Pocket. This year, fans have a wishlist of announcements they're hoping for, 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 their next main series game, Pokemon Legends: Z-A. Since the initial announcement, updates have been scarce, suggesting a distant release. However, with a planned 2025 launch, Pokemon Presents is the ideal platform to finally reveal a concrete date. Fans are also curious whether the game will be released for the anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 or remain exclusive to the original Switch.
What’s Next for Pokemon TCG Pocket
The introduction of trading to Pokemon TCG Pocket is on the horizon, expected before the Pokemon Presents, as developers have slated it for January 2025. Once implemented, fans will be eagerly awaiting the next update. Developer DeNA has hinted at significant developments for the year, and Pokemon Presents would be the perfect opportunity to unveil these plans. While new Booster Packs are anticipated, the teased "other new features in development" suggest something even more substantial.
Big News for Pokemon Sleep, Pokemon GO, UNITE, and More

The Pokemon Presents event is sure to include updates on various other mobile and live service games within the Pokemon universe. While specific hopes for these titles are varied, Pokemon GO had a challenging 2024, and fans would welcome significant changes, though they remain cautiously optimistic. For Pokemon Sleep, which is transitioning to Pokemon Works, players are anxious yet hopeful for big news following last year's reveal of a new Legendary Pokemon. For all these games, new information is almost guaranteed, though the exact details are still a mystery.
Pokemon Gen 10 News
Many fans speculate that the next generation of Pokemon games, Gen 10, will launch in 2026, coinciding with the 20th anniversary of the franchise. This timeline makes it feasible for a first look at Gen 10 during this year's Pokemon Presents. However, with Legends: Z-A still in the spotlight, The Pokemon Company might choose to focus solely on that game. Nonetheless, with a dearth of news about traditional main series games, a tease or hint about Gen 10 is within the realm of possibility.
Pokemon Remakes in the Unova Region

Rumors of Unova region remakes persist, and fans are hopeful for an announcement this year, especially with Pokemon GO celebrating Unova with the Unova Tour. Given the pattern of region remakes and the precedent set by Pokemon Legends: Z-A revisiting a previous region, an announcement for Unova remakes in 2025 is certainly plausible.
These are the top announcements that fans are eagerly anticipating during Pokemon Presents 2025.
