Pokémon Presents Leak Hints at February 27, 2025, Announcement

A recent leak suggests a Pokémon Presents event is scheduled for February 27, 2025, coinciding with Pokémon Day. This revelation, stemming from data mined from the Pokémon GO server, has ignited excitement among fans anticipating updates on highly anticipated titles.

The timing is significant, aligning with the original release date of the first Pokémon games and the established tradition of Pokémon Day announcements. With Pokémon Legends: Z-A slated for release this year and the next mainline game on the horizon, 2025 is shaping up to be a pivotal year for the franchise. Speculation is rife that these new titles might even feature prominently in the Nintendo Switch 2 launch lineup.

Dataminer mattyoukhana shared their findings on Twitter, highlighting files within the updated Pokémon GO server that explicitly reference a Pokémon Presents event on February 27, 2025. While Pokémon Day announcements are expected, this leak provides the first concrete confirmation, especially welcome given the recent quiet from The Pokémon Company and Nintendo regarding gaming announcements.

Datamine Confirms Pokémon Presents Date:

• February 27, 2025 (Pokémon Day)

While the Pokémon Presents is anticipated to unveil various exciting news, fans are particularly eager for updates on Pokémon Legends: Z-A and its 2025 release. Details remain scarce, but the game is expected to build upon the Legends: Arceus formula, reintroducing Mega Evolution and setting the action in Lumiose City. Given the year-long hiatus in mainline console releases, significant information is expected this time around.

This leak joins other circulating rumors. Prominent leaker Riddler Khu has also dropped cryptic hints, showcasing a selection of 30 Pokémon (including Reshiram, Tinkaton, and Sylveon) with the enigmatic prompt, "choose." While not necessarily indicating starter Pokémon selection (given the power level of some included Pokémon), this could highlight their importance in upcoming games. The future of the Pokémon franchise remains full of intrigue, with further revelations from leakers and dataminers likely to emerge soon.
