What Pokemon Fans Want to See at Pokemon Presents This Year
The February Pokemon Presents event is renowned for delivering substantial news about the *Pokemon* franchise. Last year's event introduced us to *Pokemon Legends: Z-A* and *Pokemon TCG Pocket*. This year, the community has a clear set of expectations. Here’s a prioritized list of what fans hope to discover during the upcoming Pokemon Presents.

At the top of the wishlist is the confirmation of a release date for *Pokemon Legends: Z-A*. Since its initial announcement, updates have been sparse, leading fans to speculate that it's still a while away. However, with a 2025 release on the horizon, Pokemon Presents would be the ideal platform to announce a specific date. Additionally, fans are eager to learn whether *Pokemon Legends: Z-A* will launch on the anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 or remain exclusive to the current Switch.
What’s Next for Pokemon TCG Pocket
The introduction of trading to *Pokemon TCG Pocket* is a highly anticipated feature expected before the Pokemon Presents, with developers planning to roll it out in January 2025. As such, fans of the mobile app are keen to learn about the next major update. Developer DeNA has hinted at significant developments for the year, making Pokemon Presents the perfect stage to unveil these updates. While new Booster Packs are on fans' minds, "other new features in development" suggest something even more exciting could be in store.
Big News for Pokemon Sleep, Pokemon GO, UNITE, and More

Pokemon Presents is expected to shed light on various other mobile and live service games within the *Pokemon* universe. Although specific hopes for these titles are varied, fans are particularly interested in *Pokemon GO*, which faced challenges in 2024. Desired improvements include better avatar customization and the restoration of accessibility features. As for *Pokemon Sleep*, currently transitioning to Pokemon Works, fans are anxious about its future and hopeful for significant updates, especially following last year's announcement of a new Legendary Pokemon. While new information is certain to be revealed, the exact nature of these updates remains a mystery.
Pokemon Gen 10 News
With many believing that the next generation, Gen 10, will debut in 2026 to celebrate the 20-year anniversary of *Pokemon* games, fans are on the lookout for early teasers. Given the timeline of previous announcements, it's not out of the question for a first look to be revealed during this year's Pokemon Presents. However, The Pokemon Company might prefer to maintain focus on *Legends: Z-A* for now. Still, with minimal news on upcoming traditional main series games, there's a chance we might hear something about Gen 10.
Pokemon Remakes in the Unova Region

Rumors about Unova region remakes continue to circulate, fueled by *Pokemon GO*'s Unova Tour celebration this year. Given the pattern of remakes and the fact that *Pokemon Legends: Z-A* revisits a past region, there's a possibility that The Pokemon Company could announce a Unova remake in 2025. With no clear precedent for Legends-style games yet, the door remains open for such an announcement.
These are the most anticipated announcements that fans hope to see during *Pokemon Presents 2025*.
