Pokémon Presents 2025: Major Announcements for Switch, Mobile, and More In a highly anticipated Pokémon Presents event coinciding with Pokémon Day, The Pokémon Company International unveiled a robust slate of new titles and entertainment offerings coming to the Nintendo Switch family of systems, mobile platforms, and beyond.

This showcase not only introduced new game experiences but also marked significant milestones and expansions across beloved Pokémon games and media, reinforcing the franchise’s global reach.

Set within Lumiose City, the game introduces a unique narrative surrounding an urban redevelopment initiative to create a harmonious environment for both people and Pokémon.

Trainers will begin their journey by selecting one of three starter Pokémon—Chikorita, Tepig, or Totodile—and will encounter an innovative, real-time battle system focused on dynamic, timing-based mechanics.

The adventure features expansive Wild Zones for exploration, presenting new opportunities for stealth captures and traditional battles.
