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, unearthed by a Pokémon GO dataminer, has ignited excitement among fans anticipating updates on highly anticipated titles.
The leak, originating from files updated on the Pokémon GO server, directly references a Pokémon Presents event on February 27th. This date holds significance as the anniversary of the original Pokémon games' release, and has become a traditional timeframe for major Pokémon announcements.
With Pokémon Legends: Z-A slated for release this year and the next mainline title on the horizon, 2025 is shaping up to be a pivotal year for the franchise. Speculation is rife that upcoming Pokémon games could feature prominently in the Nintendo Switch 2 launch lineup, potentially boosting the new console's appeal. Many fans hope for pre-Pokémon Day news regarding the Switch 2, given the popularity of the annual event.
Datamine Confirms Pokémon Presents Date:
- February 27, 2025 - Pokémon Day
While the Pokémon Presents is expected to unveil numerous exciting details, fans are particularly eager for updates on Pokémon Legends: Z-A and its 2025 release. Currently, limited information is available beyond the game's iteration on the Legends: Arceus formula, the return of Mega Evolution, and its Lumiose City setting. Given the series' recent hiatus from mainline console releases, a substantial information drop is anticipated.
This leak joins other recent rumors. Prominent leaker Riddler Khu has teased upcoming announcements, showcasing a cryptic image of 30 Pokémon, including Reshiram, Tinkaton, and Sylveon, with the single word, "choose." While not necessarily indicative of starter Pokémon selection (given the power level of some included Pokémon), the selection may highlight key figures in upcoming games.
The future of the Pokémon franchise remains shrouded in mystery, but further leaks and datamines are anticipated in the coming months.
