Pokémon Presents 2025: Date Leaked by Niantic

Pokemon Presents Leak Points to February 27, 2025 Announcement

A recent leak suggests a Pokemon Presents event is scheduled for February 27, 2025, coinciding with Pokemon Day. This revelation, uncovered by a Pokemon GO dataminer, has ignited anticipation among fans. The dataminer, mattyoukhana, discovered files on the Pokemon GO server directly referencing the event. This seemingly confirms a long-held expectation, given The Pokemon Company's tradition of Pokemon Day announcements. The relative silence from The Pokemon Company and Nintendo regarding upcoming game releases recently has made this confirmation particularly welcome news.

The timing is significant, as Pokemon Legends: Z-A is slated for release this year, and the unveiling of the next mainline title is highly anticipated. Speculation is rife about the potential inclusion of upcoming Pokemon games in the Nintendo Switch 2 launch lineup. Many believe a Pokemon Day announcement would be a strategic move to generate excitement for the new console.

Key Details from the Leak:

• Date: February 27, 2025 (Pokemon Day)
• Event: Pokemon Presents

Beyond general excitement, fans are particularly keen for updates on Pokemon Legends: Z-A. 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 series' recent hiatus from mainline console releases, a substantial information drop is widely expected.

This leak isn't an isolated incident. Another prominent leaker, Riddler Khu, has also hinted at upcoming announcements, teasing an image featuring 30 Pokemon, including Reshiram, Tinkaton, and Sylveon, with the cryptic message "choose." While not definitively linked to starter Pokemon selection (given the power level of some included Pokemon), the selection could highlight key figures in the upcoming game.

The future of the Pokemon franchise remains shrouded in mystery, but these leaks offer a glimpse into what may be revealed in the coming months. Further discoveries from dataminers and leakers are anticipated.
