What Pokemon Fans Want to See at Pokemon Presents This Year
The February Pokemon Presents is traditionally a landmark day for Pokemon news. Last year's event unveiled initial glimpses of *Pokemon Legends: Z-A* and *Pokemon TCG Pocket*. This year, fans have specific wishes for the presentation, listed here from most to least likely.Pokemon Legends: Z-A Release Date

The top priority for many fans is a release date for Pokemon Legends: Z-A. Since its announcement, updates have been sparse, suggesting a release might still be distant. However, with a planned 2025 launch, Pokemon Presents is the ideal platform to announce a specific date. Fans are also eager to learn whether the game will launch on the anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 or remain exclusive to the current Switch.
What’s Next for Pokemon TCG Pocket
Trading is the next major feature expected in Pokemon TCG Pocket. It's slated to arrive before the Pokemon Presents, with developers having previously announced plans for a January 2025 rollout. If this timeline holds, mobile app enthusiasts will be poised for the next significant update. Developer Dena has hinted at major developments this year, and Pokemon Presents offers a prime opportunity to build on the game's momentum. While new Booster Packs are hoped for, the teased "other new features in development" suggests something more substantial might be on the horizon.
Big News for Pokemon Sleep, Pokemon GO, UNITE, and More

Pokemon Presents will undoubtedly feature updates across various mobile and live service games within the Pokemon universe. However, pinpointing specific expectations can be challenging. Pokemon GO faced a challenging 2024, and while major changes are desired, they might not materialize immediately. Improvements to the new avatars or the restoration of accessibility features would be welcome, though fans remain cautiously optimistic.
Regarding Pokemon Sleep, the transition to Pokemon Works has caused some apprehension among players. Last year's announcement of a new Legendary Pokemon for Sleep raised hopes for another significant reveal this year.
For all these live service titles, new information is almost guaranteed at Pokemon Presents, though the exact nature of these updates remains uncertain.
Pokemon Gen 10 News
Many fans speculate that Gen 10 will debut in 2026, coinciding with the 20th anniversary of Pokemon games, placing a potential release just over a year away. This timeline isn't too far-fetched for an initial reveal, considering past announcement patterns. However, The Pokemon Company might choose to maintain the focus on Legends: Z-A. With scant news about upcoming main series games in the traditional format, it's plausible we might hear something about Gen 10 at this year's Pokemon Presents.
Pokemon Remakes in the Unova Region

Rumors of Unova region remakes persist, and fans are hopeful for their realization in 2025. With Pokemon GO spotlighting the Unova region through the Unova Tour, and following established patterns, the timing seems ripe for an announcement. Given that Pokemon Legends: Z-A also revisits a previous region, an Unova remake would represent an intriguing move by The Pokemon Company. Though the Legends-style format is still novel, anything is possible, including a 2025 announcement for a Unova remake.
And those are the key announcements that fans are eagerly anticipating at Pokemon Presents 2025.
