G3NZPokémon Presents 2025: What to Expect from This Year’s Big Reveal!
Pokémon fans, brace yourselves—it’s that time of the year again! The annual Pokémon Presents broadcast is officially locked in for Thursday, February 27th, 2025, at 2 PM UK time (6 AM PT / 9 AM ET).
Why this date? Because it marks the anniversary of Pokémon Red and Green, the games that made kids everywhere ignore their homework in 1996.
And just like every year, The Pokémon Company is ready to throw some Pokébombshells our way.
(This article is based on information reported by Eurogamer. You can check out their original coverage here.)
So, what’s in store this time? Let’s jump on our bikes (with the world’s worst speed restrictions) and cycle through the biggest expectations!
Legends Z-A: The Mystery Continues
The showstopper of the event will undoubtedly be Pokémon Legends Z-A, the next big thing after Pokémon Legends: Arceus.
When this game was announced last year, they told us nothing. Seriously. Just a logo, some ominous music, and a dramatic pause—basically, the gaming equivalent of an unsatisfying season finale.
What we do know is that Legends Z-A is bringing us back to the Kalos region, home of Pokémon X and Y, and yes—Mega Evolutions are back, baby! Unlike Arceus, which had you running around ancient landscapes dodging angry Alpha Pokémon, this one seems set in the modern-day or even the near future.
Maybe your Pokémon will have social media accounts now. (Get ready for Pikachu’s influencer arc!)
Will We Get a Switch 2 Version?
With Nintendo’s mysterious new console lurking around the corner, the big question is: Will Legends Z-A be optimized for Switch 2, or will it still be stuck in frame rate purgatory?
We know the game is coming to Switch, but after recent rumors about Nintendo’s upcoming hardware, fans are desperate to see their favorite pocket monsters in glorious 1080p (or dare we dream… 4K?!)
Maybe we’ll get a sneak peek at Switch 2. Maybe we won’t. Maybe they’ll just show us another logo and call it a day. Either way, get ready for the internet to explode.
Updates on Other Pokémon Games
Besides Legends Z-A, expect Pokémon Unite, Pokémon TCG Pocket, and Pokémon Go to get some love.
These games continue to chug along like a Magikarp trying to use Splash, and The Pokémon Company loves giving them regular updates.
Speaking of Pokémon Go, the game has been making headlines for some… interesting reasons. Reports claim Niantic might be selling it off to Saudi-backed Savvy Games Group for a cool $3.5 billion.
Will The Pokémon Company acknowledge this elephant in the room? Probably not. But expect fans to react like they just found out their starter is a Bidoof.
Final Thoughts: Any Wildcard Announcements?
While Legends Z-A is the main event, we might get a surprise announcement or two.
More classic games for Nintendo Switch Online? A new Mystery Dungeon? A remake of Pokémon Black & White? (Unova fans, stay strong!)
With just a few days until the big event, the hype is real. So, set your alarms, stock up on Rare Candy, and prepare for the Poké-news drop of the year!
