Pokemon Day 2025 gave fans tons of announcements to look forward to.
A new Pokemon Presents stream went live for Pokemon Day 2025, revealing more information and updates for current and upcoming Pokemon games. Not only did we learn about Pokemon TCG Pocket’s new Mega Evolutions, but we also learned about an all-new multiplayer battling game called Pokemon Champions. We also got updates on Pokemon Legends: Z-A’s gameplay, which is shaping up to be a satisfying successor to Pokemon Legends: Arceus.
Here’s everything you missed during the Pokemon Presents livestream:
