Datamine Reveals Date of Pokemon Presents

• February 27, 2025, Pokemon Day.

The upcoming Pokemon Presents is expected to unveil several exciting updates for the fandom, with particular anticipation around Pokemon Legends: Z-A and its 2025 release. Little is known about Legends: Z-A beyond its intention to build upon the Legends: Arceus formula, reintroduce Mega Evolution, and be set in Lumiose City. Given the absence of a mainline console release last year, fans are eagerly awaiting a wealth of information this time around.

This leak is one among several current Pokemon rumors. Another well-known leaker, Riddler Khu, has dropped hints about upcoming announcements, showcasing a selection of 30 Pokemon, including Reshiram, Tinkaton, and Sylveon, with the cryptic message, "choose." While this doesn't appear to relate to starter Pokemon selection—considering some of these Pokemon are too powerful for Legends Z-A's early stages—Khu might be highlighting these 30 Pokemon due to their potential significance in the upcoming game. The future of the Pokemon series remains shrouded in mystery, but leakers and dataminers may uncover more information soon.
