How would you rate the latest showcase?But 2024 seemed to take some feedback on board. The presentation was snappier and we got a few big announcements, one being Pokmon TC Pocket, the other being the source of almost everyone's excitement Pokmon Legends: Z-A.Subscribe to Nintendo Life on YouTube796kTeased at the very end of the Presents, almost 366 days later, we know next to nothing about the upcoming Pokmon game. It's set in the Kalos region, the stage for Pokmon X & Y, and takes place entirely in Lumiose City. It's also slated to be part of Generation IX, so it's in the same pocket of games as Pokmon Scarlet & Violet. Mega Evolution has been teased, too. And it's coming out in 2025.Pokmon Presents 2025, then which we know is coming thanks to a Pokmon GO datamine is surely going to give us a good look at the new Legends game. So, for the first time in a while, I'm actually a little excited. Emphasis on little, because looking at previous Pokmon Presents, my (and others') expectations are pretty low.There's no guarantee that Z-A will show up on 27th Feb, but I'd be pretty shocked if it didn't. It's rare that we know nothing about a main Pokmon game for such a long time. How is the whole game set in Lumiose City? Are you rebuilding it? Are there any new Pokmon forms la Hisuian from Legends: Arceus? What unique mechanics are there? What does it look like? Will it touch on the Kalos War? And will it be a cross-gen title for Switch and Switch 2?Z-A was initially announced for the Switch, and I don't see it not coming to Nintendo's current, if ageing hardware. But we all know how Scarlet & Violet and, to a lesser extent, Arceus ran on the Switch. You'd hope the lure of new tech and the experience of working on the Switch would help Game Freak brush up a bit. Plus, with the Switch 2's existence no longer a myth, TPC can also start making announcements for the new console.Image: The Pokmon CompanyOf course, there's also the potential for Z-A to be delayed to 2026, which would be a pretty big blow, unless TPC has a remake or something else up its sleeve. Pokmon Black & White remake rumours have been floating around for a good while now, and while the prospect of remakes of one of my favourite Pokmon games makes me nervous, a lot of fans have been asking after it.Again, I'll stress, that my expectations for the presentation as a whole are relatively low. Even for Z-A, we might just get a trailer with no explanation. I'd be happy enough with that! But there will probably be a swathe of other announcements and long talking heads segments to wade through first.There's also the matter of the next generation of Pokmon, Gen X. There's every chance the next duo of Pokmon games could be teased next week, but I think TPC will be saving those for the 30th anniversary, which is next year. Z-A is part of Gen IX, and is likely the final curtain for what has been a rocky gen for Switch Pokmon fans.Who knows! Perhaps TPC will surprise us, go in for a deep dive on Z-A, or keep things short and snappy. A tiny part of me wants to get excited because I feel like I've lost a lot of love for a franchise that, essentially, got me into video games. I grew up with Pokmon, but I can't get enthusiastic over a presentation that only focuses on games for a few minutes minutes.The August 2023 one was... erm, poor.Watch on YouTube I'll take a little look at a claymation figure from the upcoming Aardman Animation collaboration, though.Anyway, enough of my rambling and ranting let us know what you're expecting from Pokmon Day in 2024 by voting in our polls and by leaving a comment.
