Every year, *Pokemon* enthusiasts eagerly anticipate February, which heralds the arrival of Pokemon Day. This special occasion serves as a fantastic reason to revel in all things *Pokemon* and traditionally includes a major Pokemon Presents event packed with thrilling announcements and updates.
While The Pokemon Company has not yet officially set a date, Pokemon Presents typically coincides with Pokemon Day, celebrated annually on February 27. Thanks to datamines from *Pokemon GO*, fans are almost certain that Pokemon Presents 2025 will occur on February 27. The precise timing remains undisclosed, but the event will likely be available as a recorded video for those who can't watch it live.

The February Pokemon Presents is traditionally a landmark event for *Pokemon* news. Last year's event introduced us to *Pokemon Legends: Z-A* and *Pokemon TCG Pocket*. This year, fans have specific hopes and expectations. Here's what they're most eager to see at Pokemon Presents 2025, listed in order of likelihood:

At the top of the list, fans are keen to learn the release date for *Pokemon Legends: Z-A*. Since its initial announcement, updates have been sparse, leading many to believe that the game is still some time away. However, with a planned release in 2025, Pokemon Presents would be the ideal moment to announce a specific launch date.
Additionally, fans are curious whether *Pokemon Legends: Z-A* will be available on the anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 or remain exclusive to the current Switch.
Trading is poised to become a significant feature in *Pokemon TCG Pocket*. Originally slated for a January 2025 introduction, fans are ready for the next big update. Developer DeNA has hinted at major developments for the year, and Pokemon Presents would be a perfect stage to reveal what's on the horizon. While new Booster Packs are anticipated, the promise of "other new features in development" suggests even more exciting additions.

Pokemon Presents is expected to include updates on several other mobile and live service games within the Pokemon universe. Specific expectations for games like *Pokemon GO* are less clear. After a challenging 2024, significant changes are desired but not necessarily expected. Improvements to the new avatars or the restoration of accessibility features would be welcome, though fans are not overly optimistic.
*Pokemon Sleep* is transitioning to Pokemon Works, causing some concern among players. Last year's announcement of a new Legendary Pokemon for *Sleep* has fans hoping for another big reveal this year. For all these live service games, new information is almost certain to be part of Pokemon Presents, but the exact details remain a mystery.
Speculation abounds that Pokemon Gen 10 will launch in 2026, coinciding with the 20-year anniversary of *Pokemon* games. With potentially just over a year until its release, a first look at Gen 10 isn't out of the question, given past announcement patterns.
However, The Pokemon Company might prefer to keep the spotlight on *Legends: Z-A* for the time being. While it may not be ready to unveil what's next, the lack of news on traditional main series games makes a Gen 10 announcement at Pokemon Presents a plausible possibility.

Rumors about Unova remakes persist, and fans are hopeful that 2025 might finally see these come to fruition. The *Pokemon GO* Unova Tour this year adds to the speculation, as Unova is the next region due for a remake according to historical patterns.
With *Pokemon Legends: Z-A* also revisiting a past region, an announcement of a Unova remake could be a strategic move by The Pokemon Company. Although there's little precedent for Legends-style games, the possibility of a Unova remake being announced in 2025 remains open.
These are the key announcements that fans are most eager to see during *Pokemon Presents 2025*.
