What Will Be Shown at the February 2025 Pokémon Presents in Australia and New Zealand?
While there’s absolutely no official information on what’ll appear at the February 2025 Pokémon Presents, fans will naturally be hoping to see more information on the upcoming Pokémon Legends Z-A game, which was first revealed last year and is a sequel to the well-received action RPG, Pokémon Legends Arceus.
When Pokémon Legends: Z-A was first announced, we’d yet to be treated to the official reveal of the Nintendo Switch 2, which means it was originally only confirmed as a Switch 1 game. Presumably, any subsequent showings will also spotlight it as a cross-generation Switch 2 title, which makes a potential showing at this Pokemon Presents an exciting prospect.
Otherwise, we’re likely to see more from the usual mainstays such as Pokémon Go, Pokémon Unite and the recent global phenomenon, Pokémon TCG Pocket, along with news on the world of Pokémon anime, TV adaptations and more.
