The Pokémon Company has thrilled fans with a slew of announcements during their special Pokémon Presents video presentation on Pokémon Day, February 27, 2025. Celebrating the franchise’s rich history and looking forward to its future, the presentation revealed new games, updates, and expansions that promise to captivate both longtime fans and newcomers.
One of the highlights is the upcoming game, Pokémon Legends: Z-A, set in the bustling Lumiose City. Scheduled for release in late 2025, this game introduces players to a world where urban redevelopment is transforming the city into a harmonious space for both people and Pokémon. Players will choose a partner Pokémon—Chikorita, Tepig, or Totodile—and embark on an adventure filled with wild zones, real-time battles, and the strategic use of Mega Evolution.
Another exciting reveal is Pokémon Champions, developed in collaboration with GAME FREAK. This game aims to bring core game-style battles to a broader audience, allowing players to team up with Pokémon from previous games via Pokémon HOME. Available on both Nintendo Switch and mobile devices, Pokémon Champions promises to be a thrilling addition to the franchise.
The Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG) also received significant updates. The Pokémon TCG Pocket app celebrates over 100 million downloads with the introduction of the new Triumphant Light themed booster pack, available from February 28, 2025. Additionally, the Mega Evolution Series will bring back Mega Evolution Pokémon ex, including fan favorites like Mega Lucario ex and Mega Gardevoir ex, adding a new layer of strategy to the game.
Fans of the animated series can look forward to new episodes of Pokémon Concierge, set to release on Netflix in September 2025. The stop-motion series will feature new Pokémon and continue to charm audiences with its unique storytelling.
Other updates include new content for Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet, Pokémon GO, Pokémon Sleep, Pokémon UNITE, Pokémon Masters EX, and Pokémon Café ReMix. These updates ensure that every aspect of the Pokémon universe continues to evolve and engage its dedicated fanbase.
