Pokémon Presents has just finished and it’s safe to say that fans are now left desperately waiting. I wish I could embrace my inner Snorlax and just sleep until 2025 when we now know the next main game will be arriving, but that sadly isn’t the case. We can however get excited about what was shown during the livestream.

I predicted before the show that we would see a newPokémon Legendsgame, and that was the case, but no one would have seen this coming.  The previous title,PokémonLegends Arceuswas a fresh new 3D spin on the formula that had players exploring a past version of the beloved Sinnoh region (from Pokémon Diamond and Pearl) known as Hsui. The new title, set for 2025, will be titledPokemon Legends Z-Aand will be set in the Kalos region, AKA, the world of Pokémon Xand Y.

The next question this raises is one of hardware. It’s widely expected that theNintendo Switch 2 will launch in March 2025. With this game given a blanket release date of sometime in 2025, surely Nintendo will wait for the new hardware. If so, what a way to launch, a 3D pokémon would be a fantastic way to show off a new console’s extra oomph.
