Leaked Pokemon Presents Date Hints at Big Year for Franchise
A recent leak suggests a Pokemon Presents event is scheduled for February 27th, 2025 – coinciding with Pokemon Day. This revelation, discovered by a Pokemon GO dataminer, adds fuel to the already fervent anticipation surrounding upcoming Pokemon titles.
The dataminer, mattyoukhana, uncovered files within the Pokemon GO server directly referencing a Pokemon Presents on February 27th. While Pokemon Day announcements are customary, this leak provides the first concrete confirmation, particularly welcome given the recent quietude from The Pokemon Company and Nintendo regarding gaming announcements.
This year is poised to be significant for the Pokemon franchise. The highly anticipated Pokemon Legends: Z-A is slated for release, and the unveiling of the next mainline title is on the horizon. Speculation abounds about the potential inclusion of new Pokemon games in the Nintendo Switch 2 launch lineup. Many believe a Pokemon Day announcement would significantly boost excitement for the new console.
Key Details from the Leak:
- Date: February 27th, 2025 (Pokemon Day)
- Focus: Likely updates on Pokemon Legends: Z-A, and potentially the reveal of the next mainline game.
Fans eagerly await details about Legends: Z-A, known to build upon the Legends: Arceus formula, reintroducing Mega Evolution and setting the stage in Lumiose City. Given the hiatus in mainline console releases, significant information is expected.
Adding to the buzz, another prominent leaker, Riddler Khu, has cryptically hinted at upcoming announcements, showcasing a selection of 30 Pokemon (including Reshiram, Tinkaton, and Sylveon) with the single word, "choose." While the meaning remains unclear, the significance of these particular Pokemon in upcoming releases is speculated.
The future of the Pokemon franchise remains shrouded in mystery, but these leaks and datamining efforts promise further exciting revelations in the coming months.
