Pokémon Presents 2025: 24-Minute Showcase with A surprise NSO Drop

A Pokémon Presents is happening today, and fans from all over the world will want to watch it. The Pokémon Company has confirmed that the show will last about 24 minutes. It will be shown for the first time on the official Pokémon YouTube channel.

What's going to be served this time? Pretty likely a lot.

First and foremost, we're looking forward to getting a much better look at Pokémon Legends Z-A, the highly anticipated game that will be one of Nintendo's biggest holiday releases this October. Before, we only got a quick look at the game, including a quick look at how the Switch and Switch 2 look alike.

But since the Switch 2 is now officially out and being marketed, it looks like this presentation will finally show detailed gameplay footage that was recorded directly on the new hardware. With better graphics, smoother gameplay, and all the bells and whistles, this could be the game's big debut.

Besides Legends ZA, there is a lot of talk going around. For a long time now, we haven't heard anything solid about possible Pokémon remakes. Many fans are hoping that changes here. Could this be the remake of Black and White coming back in all its glory? Or maybe a new season of the Let's Go series, which could bring Johto back?

Gen 10 might get a teaser, like a title drop or short movie, even if the full remakes don't happen. This would just let fans know that it's coming. Even though it seems early, The Pokémon Company has teased new generations in the same way before. It would be easy for a brief look, the reveal of a logo, or a vague silhouette to make the news.

There is another hot rumor going around right now that Pokémon Colosseum might be added to the Nintendo Switch Online service. A rumor spread in the Pokémon community that basically says that a GameCube classic might be coming to NSO during a July Nintendo Direct.

The main Nintendo Direct is still set to happen at the end of July, but some people think that the Colosseum will come back at Pokémon Presents. The Pokémon Company has shadow-dropped games onto NSO before, so it wouldn't be the first time. With more and more people wanting to add classic games from the GameCube era to the service, now might be the best time to do it.

Besides the big franchise entries, there are still more that could happen. Pokémon Champions, a battle-based game coming to mobile, Nintendo Switch, and Switch 2, is one that we know is being worked on. Even though not much is known about it yet, this presentation seems like the perfect way to show it off.

You can look forward to new versions of different Pokémon apps, live events, collaborations, and even Pokémon Trading Card Game updates. The presentation is likely to cover a lot of ground in the Pokémon world, even though games will be the main focus.

The Pokémon Presents in July 2025 looks like it will be one of the most packed shows in recent memory. This week has a lot to look forward to, whether you want to play Legend Z-A, see a surprise NSO drop, see a Gen 10 teaser, or finally see Unova or Johto again.

This is when the show starts:

• 6:00 AM Pacific Time
• 8:00 AM Central Time
• 9:00 AM Eastern Time

Get ready for some big Pokémon news by setting your alarms. Of course, if the announcements live up to the hype.
