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, fuels anticipation for major franchise announcements.
The timing is significant, given the expected launch of Pokémon Legends: Z-A later this year and the anticipated unveiling of the next mainline Pokémon title. Speculation is rife that these upcoming games may 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.
Dataminer mattyoukhana, via Twitter, shared the discovery of files referencing the February 27th Pokémon Presents within updated Pokémon GO server data. While Pokémon Day announcements are customary, this leak provides the first concrete confirmation, particularly welcome given the recent silence from The Pokémon Company and Nintendo regarding gaming announcements.
Datamine Confirms Pokémon Presents Date:
- February 27, 2025 (Pokémon Day)
While the Pokémon Presents will likely encompass various announcements, fans eagerly await updates on Pokémon Legends: Z-A and its 2025 release. Details remain scarce, but the game is expected to build upon Legends: Arceus, reintroducing Mega Evolution and setting the stage in Lumiose City. Given the year-long hiatus in mainline console releases, significant information is anticipated.
This leak joins other circulating rumors. Prominent leaker Riddler Khu has hinted at upcoming announcements, showcasing 30 Pokémon (including Reshiram, Tinkaton, and Sylveon) with the cryptic message, "choose." While not necessarily related to starter Pokémon selection, due to the power level of some featured Pokémon, the selection of these 30 may hold significance for upcoming games. The future of the Pokémon franchise remains shrouded in mystery, leaving room for further discoveries by leakers and dataminers.
