Pokémon Presents Leak Points to February 27, 2025 Announcement
A recent leak suggests a Pokémon Presents event is scheduled for February 27, 2025 – coinciding with Pokémon Day. This revelation, stemming from datamined files within the Pokémon GO server, has ignited significant excitement among fans. The date holds special significance as it marks the anniversary of the original Pokémon games' release.
With Pokémon Legends: Z-A slated for release this year and the next mainline title anticipated, 2025 is shaping up to be a major year for the franchise. Speculation abounds regarding the potential unveiling of new Pokémon games for the Nintendo Switch 2, potentially boosting the console's launch appeal. Many are hoping for pre-Pokémon Day news regarding the new Switch console itself.
Dataminer mattyoukhana's Twitter post highlighted the discovery of files referencing the February 27th Pokémon Presents within the updated Pokémon GO server. While Pokémon Presents on Pokémon Day is customary, this leak provides the first concrete confirmation, particularly welcome given the recent relative silence from The Pokémon Company and Nintendo regarding upcoming game announcements.
Datamine Confirms Pokémon Presents Date:
- February 27, 2025 (Pokémon Day)
While the Pokémon Presents is expected to unveil various exciting updates, anticipation is particularly high for news regarding Pokémon Legends: Z-A and its 2025 launch. Details remain scarce, but the game is rumored to build upon Legends: Arceus' gameplay, reintroducing Mega Evolution and being set in Lumiose City. Given the absence of a mainline console release last year, fans anticipate a significant information drop this time around.
This leak is one of several circulating currently. Prominent leaker Riddler Khu has also offered cryptic hints, showcasing a selection of 30 Pokémon (including Reshiram, Tinkaton, and Sylveon) with the enigmatic prompt, "choose." While not necessarily indicating starter Pokémon selection due to the power level of some included Pokémon, this selection may highlight significant characters in the upcoming game. The future of the Pokémon franchise remains shrouded in mystery, but further leaks and datamines are likely imminent.
