What Pokemon Fans Want to See at Pokemon Presents This Year
Historically, the February Pokemon Presents is a major event for Pokemon news. Last year's presentation unveiled the first looks at *Pokemon Legends: Z-A* and *Pokemon TCG Pocket*. This year, fans have several items on their wishlist, ranked here from most to least likely.
Pokemon Legends: Z-A Release Date

First and foremost, fans are eager for The Pokemon Company to announce the release date for its next main series game. Following the initial announcement and subsequent hype, updates on *Pokemon Legends: Z-A* have been sparse, leading many to believe it's still a while away. However, with a planned release in 2025, Pokemon Presents would be the ideal platform to reveal the launch date.
Fans are also curious to learn whether the game will be available on the much-anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 or remain exclusive to the current Switch.
What’s Next for Pokemon TCG Pocket
Trading is set to be the next significant feature added to *Pokemon TCG Pocket*. Initially planned for a January 2025 rollout, if this feature arrives as scheduled, fans of the mobile app will be keen to learn about the next big update.
Developer Dena has hinted at major developments for this year, and Pokemon Presents would be a perfect opportunity to build on the game's momentum by revealing what's next. While fans hope for new Booster Packs, the promise of "other new features in development" suggests something even more substantial.
Big News for Pokemon Sleep, Pokemon GO, UNITE, and More

The Pokemon Presents will undoubtedly feature updates on various other mobile and live service games within the extended Pokemon universe. However, pinpointing fans' specific desires for these games is challenging.
*Pokemon GO* faced challenges in 2024, and while many fans yearn for substantial changes, such as improvements to the new avatars or the reintroduction of accessibility support, these changes may not come soon. For *Pokemon Sleep*, the transition to Pokemon Works has fans on edge, and after last year's announcement of a new Legendary Pokemon, there's hope for another big reveal this year.
New information about these live service games is almost certain to be part of Pokemon Presents, though the exact details remain a mystery.
Pokemon Gen 10 News
Many fans speculate that Gen 10 will launch in 2026, coinciding with the 20th anniversary of *Pokemon* games. This timeline suggests that a Gen 10 game might be just over a year away, making it a plausible time for an initial reveal, consistent with past announcement patterns.
However, The Pokemon Company might prefer to keep the spotlight on *Legends: Z-A* for now and may not be ready to unveil plans for the next generation, even if it's in development. Nonetheless, given the lack of news about upcoming traditional main series games, there's a chance we'll 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 that these rumors will finally materialize this year. With *Pokemon GO* celebrating the Unova region through the Unova Tour, and considering the pattern of remakes following regional celebrations, the anticipation is high.
Given that *Pokemon Legends: Z-A* also revisits a previous region, announcing a Unova remake would be a bold move by The Pokemon Company. While there's limited precedent for Legends-style games, the possibility of a Unova remake announcement in 2025 remains open.
These are the key announcements that Pokemon fans are eagerly awaiting during *Pokemon Presents 2025*.
