The Pokémon Presents that went live today was nothing short of spectacular, providing seemingly everything that new and longtime fans have been waiting for. Of course, by the end of it, fans were clamoring for more since everything they just saw was so exciting. However, it's a good thing that so much is slated for later this year and next so that we don't need to wait too long.
From classic soundtracks placed into small, compact devices to all-new announcements within the franchise and its various spin-offs, this is everything that was announced during the 2026 Pokémon Presents. Here's to another 30 years with the wonderful, monster-taming franchise.
The Presentation started off strong with a collection of all 45 songs featured in both "Pokémon Red" and "Pokémon Blue" in a small, pocket-sized Game Boy. It seems as though the console isn't playable and can only be used to play songs from the games, but that's still incredibly awesome.
It is unclear exactly what was announced, though it seems that a new expansion, or even a new feature, will appear within the "Pokemon Trading Card Game" this year.
Alongside these other announcements, a "Pokémon Go" Tour: Kalos - Global is scheduled to begin on Saturday, February 28, and March 1, with a new promo code available for fans to use now. This allows players to encounter the Pokémon they choose of the ones featured in the image above!
Red and Pikachu were announced as Sync Pairs in "Pokémon Masters EX," alongside Florian and Ogerpon and Juliana and Terapagos as part of the 6.5, double-anniversary event!
A roundup of all the partner Pokémon from each region will begin on February 28th in "Pokémon Cafe Remix," with the Kanto set being the very first wave! New cafe customizations will also be made available to celebrate 30 years of the franchise.
Mew Missions seems to be a new event within the game that's expected to start tonight within "Pokémon Sleep."
The legendary bird trio, Zapdos, Moltres, and Articuno, are expected to launch in "Pokémon Unite," alongside a long list of other Pokémon, which seem to include Meganium, Typhlosion, and Feraligatr.
The beloved GameCube game is coming back to the Nintendo Online Classics store. Players will be able to enjoy the tale of Dark Lugia once more in this adventure completely separate from the mainline games.
The presentation briefly went over the highly-anticipated "Pokémon Champions," though the trailer showed players enjoying the experience on both their phones and on Nintendo Switch. It was also announced to launch in April of this year, but it looks like we can expect more at some point before that.
Players already knew that Mega Garchomp Z would be appearing within hyperspace in "Pokémon Legends" Z-A." Now, it's been officially announced, with a mystery gift concerning how to get your hands on the Garchompite Z Stone.
With "Pokopia" launching in early March, new gameplay features such as cooking and multiplayer mode were featured to give a better understanding of what players can expect upon release. Players will also receive a Ditto rug as an early purchase in-game, available until January 31, 2027.
It's official, Generation Ten is finally upon us, and the starters have been revealed alongside it. Sometime in 2027, we can expect "Pokémon Winds and Pokémon Waves." The starters announced were grass-type Browt, fire-type Pombon, and water-type Gecqua.
