Next Pokemon Presents Event May Be Disappointing for Switch 2

Summary

  • Don't expect any news about Pokémon games for the Switch 2 during the next Pokémon Presents on February 27th.
  • Leaks suggest an imminent Switch 2 reveal, but Pokémon games will reportedly remain on the original console for now.
  • The next Pokémon Presents will likely focus on Pokémon Legends: Z-A.

Pokémon fans hoping for announcements regarding Switch 2 Pokémon titles might be disappointed by the upcoming Pokémon Presents scheduled for Thursday, February 27th. Pokémon has consistently appeared on Nintendo hardware since its Game Boy debut in the 90s, but fans may need to wait longer than anticipated for the franchise to grace the Switch 2.

While Nintendo hasn't officially unveiled the Switch 2, they've confirmed its existence, backward compatibility with the original Switch, Nintendo account carryover, and a reveal within this fiscal year. Current information comes primarily from leaks, suggesting a more powerful, larger version of the original Switch.

New Pokémon games are inevitable on the Switch 2, but those hoping for news during the February 27th Pokémon Presents should temper expectations. Reports indicate the Presents will showcase Pokémon games developed for the original Switch, leveraging backward compatibility on the new hardware.

Pokémon Presents: No Switch 2 News Expected

The next Pokémon Presents will likely feature updates on ongoing live-service games like Pokémon GO and Pokémon Trading Card Game Live. Fans also anticipate news on Pokémon Legends: Z-A, slated for release on the original Switch this year. So far, Pokémon Legends: Z-A reveals have been limited to a teaser trailer showcasing Lumiose City, returning Pokémon, and the return of Mega Evolutions. However, rumors suggest another main series Pokémon game may arrive this year.

Teasers hint at a new main series Pokémon game in 2024, separate from Pokémon Legends: Z-A and Generation 10. Speculation points towards Pokémon Black and White remakes or another Let's Go title, reportedly for the original Switch, not the Switch 2 (assuming leaked information is accurate). If true, the first major Pokémon games exclusive to the Switch 2 would likely be the eventual Generation 10 titles.

The Pokémon franchise has a history of prioritizing older hardware with larger install bases. Recall Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 launched on the original DS instead of the 3DS. History may repeat itself. However, until officially confirmed, fans will need to tune into the February 27th Pokémon Presents for definitive answers.
