Pokémon Presents Stream Celebrates 25 Years: How to Watch and What to Expect
As the iconic Pokémon franchise reaches its 25th anniversary, The Pokémon Company is set to host a special Pokémon Presents stream to commemorate this milestone.
Known worldwide for reinventing the RPG genre and promoting innovative multiplayer mechanics, the Pokémon series began with the original Pokémon Red and Blue titles for the Game Boy in 1996.
Since then, it has grown into one of the best-selling video game franchises in history, spawning numerous sequels, spin-offs, and media adaptations that have captivated players across generations and platforms, including the Nintendo Switch.
The upcoming Pokémon Presents broadcast is scheduled to take place this weekend, offering anticipated announcements and potential first looks at future titles, events, and collaborations.
Fans can watch the presentation live at 7 a.m.
Pacific Time on the official Pokémon YouTube channel, ensuring global accessibility for fans eager to join the celebration in real time.
The event is expected to share updates on ongoing projects, possibly new game features, and commemorative activities tied to the 25th anniversary.
In an official statement released earlier this week, a spokesperson for The Pokémon Company expressed gratitude for the community’s enthusiasm and support: “We’re excited to honor 25 years of Pokémon with fans around the world and share what’s coming next for this beloved series.”
The Pokémon Company has a longstanding tradition of using Pokémon Presents streams to unveil major titles and expansions.
Previous broadcasts have introduced acclaimed releases such as Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, Pokémon Legends: Arceus, and new content for the Pokémon Sword and Shield expansions on Nintendo Switch.
These reveals have consistently generated major excitement, contributing to the series’ impressive commercial success—recent estimates report global video game sales of over 380 million units as of 2023, making Pokémon the second highest-grossing game series after Mario.
Since the launch of its first release, the Pokémon series has continually evolved, integrating cutting-edge features like online trading, portable multiplayer, and cross-platform compatibility through the Nintendo Switch and the Nintendo eShop.
With dedicated development houses Game Freak, Creatures Inc., and Nintendo collaborating, the franchise shows no signs of slowing down.
Fans and industry insiders alike look forward to this weekend’s Pokémon Presents, which not only honors the franchise’s storied history but also promises a glimpse into the future of Pokémon.
