The Pokémon Company’s annual Pokémon Presents broadcast is set for today, at 2pm UK time – and you can watch it right here on Eurogamer just below.
For anyone watching across the pond, you’ll want to tune in at 6am Pacific Time, or 9am Eastern. We hope you set your Nintendo Alarmo.
Today’s Pokémon Presents is the latest annual broadcast to celebrate Pokémon Day, the anniversary of the original Pokémon Red and Green titles first launching for Game Boy. So, what do we expect to see?
All eyes will be on Pokémon Legends Z-A, this year’s biggest Pokémon launch which is coming to Switch. We’re yet to see gameplay footage of it – and find out to what extent it will be upgraded when playing on Switch 2.
Legends Z-A is set to take players back to the Kalos region, the setting of Pokémon X and Y, and looks like it will once again feature the popular Mega Evolution mechanic.
As another Legends game, it will likely have more of an action-RPG focus, similar to the previous Pokémon Legends Arceus. But where that game was set in the distant past, Z-A appears to be set in the modern day or near future.
Alongside a big focus on Z-A, Presents will likely feature a look at the franchise’s other various ongoing games – such as Pokémon Unite, Pokémon TCG Pocket and Pokémon Go.
This week, it was reported that Pokémon Go is in talks to be sold to the Saudi-backed Savvy Games Group, in a deal worth $3.5bn. But don’t expect to hear an update on that next week.
Watch along with us at 2pm, as we find out more.
