A recent leak suggests a Pokémon Presents event is scheduled for February 27, 2025, coinciding with Pokémon Day. This revelation, unearthed by a Pokémon GO dataminer, has ignited excitement among fans anticipating updates on highly anticipated titles.
The leak, originating from updated Pokémon GO server files, directly references a "Pokémon Presents" event on February 27th. This date holds significance as the anniversary of the original Pokémon games' release, and has become a customary timeframe for major franchise announcements.
With Pokémon Legends: Z-A slated for release this year and the next mainline title on the horizon, 2025 is shaping up to be a pivotal year for the Pokémon franchise. Speculation is rife that these upcoming titles may even feature prominently in the Nintendo Switch 2 launch lineup. The quietude from The Pokémon Company and Nintendo regarding gaming announcements recently has only amplified anticipation for this potential Pokémon Day reveal.
Twitter user mattyoukhana, a known dataminer, shared the discovery, confirming the February 27th date. While Pokémon Day announcements are expected, this leak provides the first concrete confirmation, easing concerns about the recent lack of official news.
Datamine Confirms Pokémon Presents Date:
Beyond general anticipation for new information, 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 franchise's recent hiatus from mainline console releases, a significant information dump is widely expected.
This leak isn't isolated. Another prominent leaker, Riddler Khu, has teased upcoming announcements, showcasing a cryptic image of 30 Pokémon (including Reshiram, Tinkaton, and Sylveon) with the single word, "choose." While not necessarily indicative of starter Pokémon selection, given the power level of some included Pokémon, the selection may hint at their importance in the upcoming game.
The future of the Pokémon franchise remains shrouded in mystery, but with leaks and datamines surfacing, further revelations are likely imminent.
