The Pokémon Company has officially announced its next major presentation. A brand-new Pokémon Presents is set to go live on July 22, 2025, and expectations are already skyrocketing as the franchise gears up for a pivotal year ahead.

Scheduled to stream on the official Pokémon YouTube channel, this upcoming showcase is positioned as one of the most significant Pokémon events in recent memory. With the highly anticipated Pokémon Legends: Z-A already making waves following its initial reveal earlier this year, July’s presentation could serve as a launchpad for what’s next in the Pokémon universe — and potentially more than we’re expecting.

Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Front and Center

There’s little doubt that Pokémon Legends: Z-A will take the spotlight. Announced during the February 2025 Pokémon Presents with a cryptic teaser trailer, the follow-up to 2022’s Legends: Arceus is shaping up to be another genre-shaking entry in the series. The game, set in a futuristic reimagining of Lumiose City, promises to build upon the open-world structure introduced in Arceus while incorporating urban design and a renewed focus on real-time exploration and battling.

With Z-A officially slated to launch on October 16, 2025, this July presentation will likely deliver the first extended look at gameplay. Expect to see new regional forms, gameplay mechanics, and possibly a breakdown of the rumoured “urban ecosystems” that will define the title’s structure.

The July 22, 2025 Pokémon Presents is shaping up to be more than just a marketing beat — it could be a defining moment for the franchise moving into its next era. With Legends: Z-A, potential remake news, and a looming hardware shift, fans should circle this date in red on their calendars.

As always, 1-Up Games will be covering every announcement and leak leading up to and following the presentation. Stay tuned.
