What Pokemon Fans Want to See at Pokemon Presents This Year
Historically, the February Pokemon Presents has been a significant event for Pokemon news. Last year's presentation introduced us to Pokemon Legends: Z-A and Pokemon TCG Pocket. This year, fans have specific hopes and expectations. Here’s a list of what fans are most eager to see at this year's Pokemon Presents, ranked by likelihood:
Pokemon Legends: Z-A Release Date

Following the initial announcement and excitement, updates have been scarce, leading many to believe the game is still far from release. However, with a planned 2025 launch, Pokemon Presents would be an ideal time to announce a specific date.
Fans are also curious whether Legends: Z-A 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 the next major feature set to be added to Pokemon TCG Pocket. Although developers have planned to implement trading by January 2025, Pokemon Presents would be the perfect opportunity to reveal what's next for the mobile app.
Developer Dena has hinted at significant updates coming this year, and fans are hoping for new Booster Packs and other exciting features.
Big News for Pokemon Sleep, Pokemon GO, UNITE, and More

Pokemon GO faced challenges in 2024, and while major changes are unlikely, improvements to avatars or the return of accessibility features would be welcome. As for Pokemon Sleep, with the transition to Pokemon Works, players are anxious for positive news, especially after last year's announcement of a new Legendary Pokemon.
New information on these live service games is almost guaranteed, though the exact details remain a mystery.
Pokemon Gen 10 News
Many fans speculate that Gen 10 will launch in 2026, coinciding with the 20-year anniversary of Pokemon games. This timeline suggests that a first look could be just over a year away, making it a plausible topic for Pokemon Presents.
However, The Pokemon Company might prefer to keep the focus on Legends: Z-A for now. Still, with limited news on upcoming main series games, there's a chance we might hear something about Gen 10 this year.
Pokemon Remakes in the Unova Region

Given that Pokemon Legends: Z-A also revisits a previous region, an announcement for a Unova remake at Pokemon Presents 2025 is within the realm of possibility.
These are the key announcements that Pokemon fans are eagerly anticipating at Pokemon Presents 2025.
