The Upcoming Pokémon Presents Will Have A Runtime Of 24 Minutes… What Could Be Shown?

by

A new Pokémon Presents is coming up on Tuesday, July 22, 2025.

Due to a preliminary video placeholder uploaded on the Korean Pokémon channel, it’s confirmed that the show will last precisely 24 minutes.

As a dedicated Pokémon enthusiast, I can’t help but wonder and speculate about the potential features that might be included in the upcoming installment of this beloved franchise.

Here are our predictions based on the previous Directs’ structure and the community’s expectations:

Focus on Mobile Games

Over the past few years, The Pokémon Company has put significant emphasis on expanding their mobile games collection and merchandise related to the brand.

As a result, it’s expected that a good chunk of the program will focus on topics unrelated to the primary Nintendo Switch series.

The following titles could be spotlighted instead:

  • Pokémon Sleep: The game celebrates its two-year anniversary on July 21. New features or events are practically guaranteed.
  • Pokémon Masters EX is also approaching its anniversary, so new content may be released soon.
  • Pokémon Café ReMix and Pokémon Unite will likely receive minor updates, such as new costumes or rotating events.

Pokémon for Nintendo Switch Online

It’s possible that more GameCube games, like “Pokémon Colosseum” and “Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness,” will be added to Nintendo Switch Online in an upcoming update. This potential announcement might happen as soon as August.

Pokémon Legends: Z-A – The Only Real Hope for Substantial News

It appears that Pokémon Legends: Z-A will be drawing much interest when it launches on October 16, 2025, available on both the Nintendo Switch and Switch 2.

Elements that are expected to appear:

  • New trailer with gameplay snippets
  • Presentation of new mega evolutions
    (There are already wish lists circulating in the fan community that include possible mega developments such as Gogoat, Excadrill, Drapion, Cherrim and Skarmory)

Possible Scarlet/Violet Updates

It’s possible that we might learn about new developments in the storyline, raids, or technical updates for “Pokémon Scarlet & Violet” on the Nintendo Switch 2. However, don’t expect any major shocking revelations.

Gen 10 and 30 Years of Pokémon

A great number of enthusiasts can hardly contain their excitement as they anticipate catching a sneak peek at the debut of the tenth generation of Pokémon, given that this milestone coincides with the franchise’s 30-year celebration in 2026.

However, observers agree that a real announcement of the next main game is extremely unlikely.

If there are any indications of the latest generation, it might only be a fleeting glance at three decades of Pokémon, possibly featuring a sneak peek such as an image of the new location, some preliminary sketches, or a brief soundbite of the new Legendary Pokémon’s calls.

The Expectation Trap

In plain terms, it’s common knowledge that the Pokémon community, much like numerous other types of communities, often grapple with high and unrealistic expectations.

Instead of the large investors, a significant group of enthusiasts tend to practice prudence on social media platforms, often due to past events that resulted in disappointment.

As an eager enthusiast, I must admit that we’re all in for some exciting twists, like the much-anticipated Gen 10 unveiling. However, let me share a thought that concludes this piece: those who keep their hopes modest often find themselves unfazed by disappointment. In fact, they might just find themselves pleasantly surprised instead.
