What Pokémon Fans Want to See at Pokémon Presents This Year

The February Pokémon Presents is historically a huge event for Pokémon news. Last year's presentation unveiled Pokémon Legends: Z-A and Pokémon TCG Pocket. This year, fans have a number of highly anticipated hopes for the event. Here are some of the most wished-for announcements, ordered from most to least likely:

Pokémon Legends: Z-A Release Date

Above all, fans eagerly await a confirmed release date for the next main series game. Following the initial announcement, updates on Pokémon Legends: Z-A have been sparse, leading to speculation about its release. However, with a planned 2025 release, Pokémon Presents would be the ideal platform to announce a concrete date. Fans are also keen to learn whether the game will launch on the anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 or remain exclusive to the current Switch.

What's Next for Pokémon TCG Pocket

Trading is the next major feature slated for Pokémon TCG Pocket. Ideally, trading will be implemented *before* Pokémon Presents, as developers previously indicated a January 2025 launch. If this timeline holds, fans of the mobile app will be primed for the next big update. Developer DeNA has hinted at significant upcoming additions, and Pokémon Presents would be the perfect stage to generate hype and reveal what's next. Fans anticipate 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 include updates on various mobile and live-service games within the broader Pokémon universe. However, specific fan expectations vary widely across these titles. Pokémon GO faced challenges in 2024, and many players hope for significant improvements—though this is not considered highly probable in the near term. Fixes for the controversial new avatars or the reinstatement of accessibility features would be welcomed, but expectations remain tempered.

Regarding Pokémon Sleep, the game is undergoing a transition to Pokémon Works, causing some player apprehension. Last year's announcement of new Legendary Pokémon for Sleep raised hopes for another significant reveal this year.

For all these live-service games, new information is almost certain, but the specifics remain unknown.

Pokémon Gen 10 News

Many believe Gen 10 will arrive in 2026, coinciding with the 20th anniversary of Pokémon games. This puts a Gen 10 game slightly over a year away, making a first look announcement not entirely improbable, considering the timing of previous reveals.

However, The Pokémon Company might prioritize maintaining hype around Legends: Z-A. They may not be ready to unveil the next generation, even if development is underway. Nevertheless, with limited news on upcoming main series games in the traditional format, a Gen 10 announcement at Pokémon Presents remains a possibility.

Pokémon Unova Region Remakes

Rumors of Unova remakes persist, and fans hope for confirmation this year. Pokémon GO's Unova region celebration this year, coupled with previous remake patterns, fuels this anticipation. Given Pokémon Legends: Z-A's revisit to a prior region, this would be a noteworthy move by The Pokémon Company, although precedents for Legends-style games are limited, making any outcome possible.

These are the most anticipated announcements fans hope to see during Pokémon Presents 2025.
