The Pokemon franchise is set to hold a special showcase titled Pokemon Presents on July 22, and it is rumored to be longer than previous presentations. According to a credible leaker, fans can expect substantial content, particularly new details about Pokemon Legends: Z-A, alongside other surprises.
This showcase, which takes place annually on February 27 to celebrate the anniversary of the Japanese launch of Pokemon Red and Green in 1996, is anticipated to be one of the most exciting to date. While the specifics of the announcements remain under wraps, prior showcases tended to reveal updates about numerous titles and expansions within the franchise.
According to CentroLeaks, the upcoming presentation is expected to last for 24 minutes, making it one of the longest in the series’ history. The usual duration for such events ranges between 15 and 24 minutes, so this extended slot suggests an array of game announcements and updates will be offered. The Pokemon Presents was confirmed in May, a typical timeframe of only a couple of weeks before events typically occur, thus heightening anticipation for what is to come.
Fans are particularly keen on news surrounding Pokemon Legends: Z-A, a sequel to Pokemon Legends: Arceus, which will take players back to a revisit of the northern France-inspired Kalos region known from Pokemon X and Y, where new mega evolutions are also being introduced. Rumors hint at new mega evolutions already leaked for this title, including Feraligatr, Meganium, Clefable, and Barbaracle, all generating excitement for fans hoping for confirmations and further surprises during the showcase.
Ultimately, while major revelations for Pokemon Legends: Z-A are likely to conclude the presentation, several mobile game updates, like those for Pokemon GO and Pokemon Sleep, will precede them. Additionally, hopes abound among fans for announcements regarding new titles such as Pokemon Champions, a strategic game yet to see its release date confirmed. With the upcoming November marking three years since the start of Generation 9, many fans hope that the new mainline Pokemon game may finally have a reveal in the near future.
