Summary

• A leak reveals a Pokemon Presents event scheduled for February 27, 2025.
• Fans eagerly anticipate updates on Pokémon Legends: Z-A.
• Prominent dataminers have hinted at significant upcoming Pokémon announcements.

A Pokémon dataminer uncovered files on the Pokémon GO server hinting at an announcement on February 27, 2025 – the anniversary of the original Pokémon games' release. With the franchise's consistent annual content releases, Pokémon Day has become a prime date for major reveals.

This year promises to be significant for the Pokémon series, with the anticipated launch of Pokémon Legends: Z-A and the unveiling of the next mainline title on the horizon. Speculation suggests new Pokémon games might feature in the Nintendo Switch 2 lineup, potentially boosting the console's launch appeal. Many hope for pre-Pokémon Day news regarding the new Switch, given the event's popularity.

Dataminer mattyoukhana, on Twitter, shared findings from updated Pokémon GO server files directly referencing a Pokémon Presents event on February 27, 2025 (Pokémon Day). While The Pokémon Company typically shares information via Pokémon Presents on Pokémon Day, this leak provides early confirmation, addressing the recent quiet period regarding game announcements.

Datamine Reveals Pokémon Presents Date:

• February 27, 2025 (Pokémon Day)

While the Pokémon Presents will likely showcase various exciting news, fans particularly anticipate updates on Pokémon Legends: Z-A and its 2025 release. Details on Legends: Z-A remain scarce, aside from its iteration on Legends: Arceus’ formula, the return of Mega Evolution, and its Lumiose City setting. Given the series' year-long break from mainline console releases, substantial information is expected this year.

This is one of several recent Pokémon leaks. Riddler Khu, another prominent leaker, hinted at upcoming announcements, showcasing 30 Pokémon (including Reshiram, Tinkaton, and Sylveon) with the cryptic message, "choose." While this likely doesn't refer to starter Pokémon selection (given the power level of some Pokémon shown), Khu may be highlighting these 30 due to their importance in the upcoming game. The future of the Pokémon series remains shrouded in mystery, with further revelations likely from leakers and dataminers.
