- Dataminers have uncovered hints about future Pokemon announcements.
A recent discovery by a Pokemon dataminer has revealed files on the Pokemon GO server indicating an upcoming announcement on February 27, 2025. This date coincides with the anniversary of the original Pokemon games' release, and with the franchise's tradition of annual content updates, Pokemon Day has become a prime time for exciting new reveals.
The Pokemon series is poised for a significant year, with the anticipated launch of Pokemon Legends: Z-A and the reveal of the next mainline title on the horizon. Speculation is rife that upcoming Pokemon games might be part of the Nintendo Switch 2 lineup, potentially boosting the new console's launch and ensuring a high level of excitement among gamers. Many are hoping for more details about the new Switch ahead of Pokemon Day, one of the most popular annual events centered around Nintendo.
On Twitter, dataminer mattyoukhana disclosed the discovery of updated files on the Pokemon GO server, uploaded by Niantic, that explicitly reference an upcoming Pokemon Presents event on February 27, 2025, known as Pokemon Day. While some fans consider this announcement predictable, given The Pokemon Company's tradition of sharing updates on this day, it marks the first full confirmation, easing concerns among fans who have noticed a recent quietness in gaming announcements from The Pokemon Company and Nintendo.
Datamine Reveals Date of Pokemon Presents
- February 27, 2025, Pokemon Day.
While the Pokemon Presents event is expected to unveil several exciting updates for the franchise, fans are particularly interested in news about Pokemon Legends: Z-A, set for release in 2025. Details about Legends: Z-A are scarce, but it's known that the game will build on the formula established by Legends: Arceus, reintroduce Mega Evolution, and be set in Lumiose City. Given the absence of mainline console releases last year, fans anticipate a wealth of information during this event.
This leak is part of multiple Pokemon-related rumors currently circulating. Another well-known leaker, Riddler Khu, has hinted at upcoming announcements by showcasing a selection of 30 Pokemon, including Reshiram, Tinkaton, and Sylveon, with the enigmatic message, "choose." Although this doesn't seem related to choosing starter Pokemon—considering some of these Pokemon are too powerful for Legends Z-A's early stages—Khu's hint might indicate these Pokemon's importance in the upcoming game. As the future of the Pokemon series unfolds, more leaks and datamine findings are expected to surface soon.
