Every year, Nintendo and The Pokémon Company hold a conference dedicated to the games in the saga. The date and time of the 2026 edition, which will mark the 30th anniversary of the saga, has reportedly leaked, and it will be a surprise to no one.
The next few days promise to be full of announcements for players on Nintendo Switch 2. Rumors are becoming more and more insistent, supported by several insiders deemed reliable, in fact suggest that Big N would hold its first major speech of the year during a Nintendo Direct dedicated to its partners. A conference which would then be followed by a second, more traditional presentation, expected during the third week of February. And that’s not all. You will also have to count on the traditional Pokémon Presents, generally organized on a fixed date each year. For those who still need confirmation, the date and time of this conference, during which the Gen 10 the Pokemon will undoubtedly be announced, have already leaked.
Here is the date of the next Pokemon Presents
On February 27, 2026, the Pokémon license will celebrate its 30th anniversary. A highly symbolic date for fans who grew up with the saga and The Pokémon Company has already begun to outline the outlines of the festivities planned around this anniversary, notably through numerous collaborations and ever more abundant merchandising. As is now tradition, this day should also be marked by the holding of a Pokemon Presents, the annual conference dedicated to the license’s video games. The 2026 edition is naturally highly anticipated, since it should shed light both on upcoming content for titles already available and on the highly anticipated tenth generation of Pokemon. Not surprisingly, the Pokemon Presents would be held on February 27, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. French time.
In any case, this is what dataminer Vida de Treinedor suggests. The latter claims to have discovered proof of the conference being held at this time directly in the official files of the Pokemon Masters EX mobile game. Everything would be accompanied by a promotional banner highlighting the protagonists of Pokemon Let’s Go, rather than those of the historical Red and Blue versions. It was enough to launch speculation around possible Nintendo Switch 2 editions of the much-maligned Let’s Go remakes. On the other hand, there is nothing at this stage to confirm such a hypothesis.
What to expect?
We will especially remember that this next Pokemon Presents should be the scene of the announcement of the tenth generation, which could, according to rumors from a reliable source, graphically mark a turning point for the saga. We can finally expect a series of events and updates in the games currently available in order to properly celebrate the 30th anniversary of the license. And, while we dream, some still hope to see the classic Pokemon make their entry into the Nintendo Switch Online catalog.
