Excitement Builds for Pokemon Day and Upcoming Announcements
A recent discovery by renowned Pokémon GO dataminer mattyoukhana has revealed files in the game’s server hinting at an upcoming Pokémon Presents event scheduled for February 27, 2025—a date recognized by fans as Pokemon Day, marking the anniversary of the original Pokémon games’ release.
This annual celebration often serves as a stage for thrilling announcements from The Pokémon Company. With the franchise’s strong tradition of unveiling major projects on this day, fans are eagerly anticipating the event, especially given the quiet period for Pokémon-related news in recent months.
A Big Year for Pokémon
2025 is poised to be monumental for the Pokémon series, headlined by the anticipated release of Pokémon Legends: Z-A. Following the success of Pokémon Legends: Arceus, this new title is expected to innovate further while incorporating fan-favorite features like Mega Evolution. Set in Lumiose City, Legends: Z-A promises to expand on the franchise’s rich lore and gameplay formula, making it a key highlight of the year.
The excitement doesn’t stop there—fans are also speculating that the next mainline Pokémon game could debut on Nintendo Switch 2, potentially marking the beginning of the console’s game lineup. Many hope to learn more about this new hardware ahead of Pokémon Day, which has become a pivotal annual event for Nintendo fans.

Mattyoukhana shared findings on Twitter, noting that new files uploaded to Pokémon GO servers specifically reference Pokemon Presents on February 27, 2025. While the event has long been expected, this discovery serves as the first concrete confirmation, reassuring fans eagerly awaiting updates.

The datamine isn’t the only buzz in the Pokémon community. Prominent leaker Riddler Khu has teased upcoming announcements, cryptically showcasing 30 Pokémon—including Reshiram, Tinkaton, and Sylveon—with the mysterious caption, “choose.” While the meaning remains unclear, fans are speculating these Pokémon might play a significant role in Legends: Z-A or another upcoming title.
