There’s a Pokémon Day Pokémon Presents stream happening next week

It’s Pokémon Day on twenty seventh February, and to mark the annual celebration, The Pokémon Firm could have a Pokémon Current video.

The Pokémon Presents video will go reside at 2PM UK time – 6:00AM PST / 10:00 PM SGT – on that date.

That’s so far as The Pokémon Firm has gone in revealing what might be proven, however we are able to completely make some educated guesses.

Prime billing will certainly go to Pokémon Legends: Z-A, the following huge console recreation within the collection that was introduced at Pokémon Day final 12 months with a 2025 goal. An offshoot to the primary collection, similar to Pokémon Legends: Arceus was, this recreation takes us to the excessive tech new metropolis of Lumiose Metropolis, the place the world is being reshaped as a part of an “city redevelopment plan” to accommodate individuals and Pokémon collectively. We’re eager to see some significant gameplay from this one, and maybe get a launch date?

Past that we are able to anticipate loads of updates on cellular and reside service video games. That may certainly embrace the perennial Pokémon Go, Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket, Pokémon Masters EX, Pokémon Unite, Pokémon Cafe ReMix and the slumbersome Pokémon Sleep.

However will there be any surprises? We’re in a little bit of a lull for the franchise as a complete, as Arceus and Scarlet & Violet each launched in 2022, the latter having DLC expansions by way of 2023. We all know that Pokémon Legends: Z-A is coming this 12 months, however they may see match to tease the following mainline recreation for 2026, maybe?

In the event that they did try this, we might make certain that these video games might be cross-gen as a minimum. There’s just about no likelihood of a Switch 2 unique recreation coming throughout the first couple years of that console’s life – Sword and Protect was over two years after the Swap launched, to have a big sufficient viewers, so anticipate the following mainline Pokémon recreation to wish to faucet into the massive playerbase which may not but have upgraded. Moreover, there certainly gained’t be any Swap 2 chatter earlier than the console’s huge Nintendo Direct presentation on 2nd April.
