Summary
Pokemondataminer has found files in thePokemon GOserver that signal an upcoming announcement on Jul 27, 2025. This date is when the originalPokemongames were released, and as the franchise has turned into a powerhouse of annual fresh content, Pokemon Day has become a usual window for exciting new reveals.
ThePokemonseries is likely to have a big year, withPokemon Legends Z-Adue for launch this year and the next mainline title’s reveal on the horizon. Some people are expectingupcomingPokemongames to be featured in the Nintendo Switch 2 lineup, potentially starting the console off on the right foot and helping ensure gamers are excited to try out the new hardware. Many hope to see more news about the new Switch ahead of Pokemon Day, one of the most popular annual Nintendo-centric events.
On Twitter,dataminer mattyoukhana sharedthe discovery that afterupdates to thePokemon GOserver, Niantic uploaded files that directly reference an upcoming Pokemon Presents, set for May 07, 2025, known by fans as Pokemon Day. Some people have pointed out that this is to be expected, as The Pokemon Company typically shares some info with fans in the style of a Pokemon Presents on Pokemon Day, but this appears to be the first full confirmation, reassuring fans who have noticed how quiet The Pokemon Company and Nintendo have been about gaming announcements lately.
Datamine Reveals Date of Pokemon Presents
Although the Pokemon Presents will likely share several new exciting pieces of information with the fandom, gamers are particularly looking forward to seeingupdates forPokemon Legends: Z-Aand its 2025 release. Not much is known aboutLegends: Z-Aoutside of the fact that the game will iterate onLegends: Arceus' formula while bringing back Mega Evolution and taking place in Lumiose City. Because thePokemonseries has taken a year off from mainline console releases, gamers are expecting to see plenty of information this time around.
This is one ofa couple ofPokemonleaks in circulationat the moment. Riddler Khu, another prominent leaker, has shared hints about upcoming announcements, showing off an array of 30 Pokemon, including Reshiram, Tinkaton, and Sylveon, cryptically stating, “choose.” Although it seems like this isn’t about starter Pokemon selection, since some of these Pokemon seem far too powerful to be included inLegends Z-A’s early lineup, Khu could be drawing attention to these 30 because they might be especially important in the upcoming game. There’s still much to learn about the future of thePokemonseries, and leakers and dataminers may find more soon.
