Every year, *Pokemon* fans eagerly anticipate February, which brings Pokemon Day. This holiday serves as a perfect opportunity to celebrate all things *Pokemon* and is traditionally accompanied by a massive Pokemon Presents presentation brimming with exciting news.
While The Pokemon Company has yet to officially confirm the date, Pokemon Presents typically occurs on or around Pokemon Day, which is celebrated on February 27 each year. Thanks to datamines in Pokemon GO, fans have nearly confirmed a February 27 Pokemon Presents for this year. The exact time remains undisclosed, but the live video will likely be available afterward as a recording for those who can't watch it live.

Historically, the February Pokemon Presents is a significant day for Pokemon news. Last year's event 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 by likelihood.
There's also anticipation regarding whether Pokemon Legends: Z-A will launch on the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 or remain exclusive to the current Switch.
Trading is the next major feature coming to Pokemon TCG Pocket. Expected before the Pokemon Presents, as developers have planned to introduce trading in January 2025, fans of the mobile app are eagerly awaiting the next update.
Developer DeNA has hinted at significant developments this year, and Pokemon Presents would be the perfect platform to build on the game's hype and share what's next. While fans hope for new Booster Packs, the promise of "other new features in development" suggests something even more substantial.
Pokemon GO faced challenges in 2024, and while many would appreciate significant changes, such as fixing the new avatars or reinstating accessibility support, these seem unlikely in the near future.
As for Pokemon Sleep, with the transition to Pokemon Works, players are anxious. Last year's announcement of a new Legendary Pokemon in Sleep has raised hopes for another big reveal this year.
New information for these live service games is almost certain to be part of Pokemon Presents, though the specifics remain a mystery.
Many fans speculate that Gen 10 will launch in 2026, marking the 20-year anniversary of Pokemon games. This timeline suggests that a Gen 10 game could be just over a year away, making it feasible for a first look during Pokemon Presents.
However, The Pokemon Company might prefer to keep the spotlight on Legends: Z-A for now and may not be ready to unveil what's next. Still, given the lack of news about upcoming main series games in the traditional format, it's possible we'll hear something about Gen 10 at this year's event.
Given that Pokemon Legends: Z-A also revisits a previous region, an announcement for a Unova remake in 2025 would be intriguing. While there's little precedent for Legends-style games yet, the possibilities are endless, including a Unova remake reveal this year.
These are the top announcements fans are eagerly anticipating at Pokemon Presents 2025.
