A brand-new Pokemon Presents has arrived and, alongside giving us a new glimpse at the adventure ahead in Pokemon Legends: Z-A, we were given a new look at Pokemon Champions, a sneak peek at Aardman’s Pokemon Tales: The Misadventures of Sirfetch’d & Pichu, and even a new game called Pokemon Friends that is available right now!
There were a lot of exciting announcements during today’s Pokémon Presents, and we’re here to break them all down for you in one place!
Pokémon Legends: Z-A is headed to Switch and Switch 2 on October 16, 2025, and the latest Pokémon Presents gave us one of our best looks yet at the upcoming title set in Lumiose City. The star of this new footage
Not everyone will be your friend, however, as you just may run into the Rust Syndicate and its boss, Corbeau, as you are competing in the nighttime Z-A Royale event. While Pokemon Legends: Z-A’s daytime hours are all about exploring Lumiose City and finding Pokemon to add to your party, nighttime is about battling trainers and climbing the ranks in this competition, and Corbeau is just one of the obstacles that will be in your path.
The city will additionally be home to a ton of side activities, including the ability to change your look at will. If you have a Pokemon like Furgrou, you’ll even be able to change their appearance as well. Trainers will then be able to embark on side quests from characters like a detective named Emma and the acting director of Pokemon Research Lab, Mable.
The Pokémon Company has announced Pokémon Friends, a brand-new brain teaser game that is out now on both mobile devices and Nintendo Switch. This new game features daily Pokémon-themed puzzles that, for example, have you connecting/lighting bulbs with one line for Pikachu, making a path for water, connecting tracks, and much more.
By completing these puzzles, you can unlock Pokémon plush items that can be used to decorate a virtual room in a the way you choose. Pokémon Friends will set you back $9.99 on Switch, but it’s free-to-start on mobile.
We were given a very welcome update on the upcoming Pokémon project from Wallace and Gromit’s Aardman Animation Studio, and it was revealed it will be arriving in 2027 as Pokémon Tales: The Misadventures of Sirfetch’d & Pichu.
A sneak peek of this new stop-motion project was shown and focused on a very cute Wooloo who was trying to enjoy the outdoors as Pichu and Sirfetch’d caused mayhem in the periphery.
The incredibly stop-motion animated Pokémon Concierge is returning with new episodes on Netflix on September 4, and it looks to be filled with way more Pokémon, and adorable 15-year relationship between Dan and a Sealo, and even Haru’s ex-boyfriend that Psyduck doesn’t seem so happy about.
A new gameplay overview for Pokémon Champions was revealed, the upcoming battle-focused game headed to Switch, iOS, and Android in 2026, and it showcased how trainers will be fighting and training their Pokémon teams.
While players will be able to connect Pokémon Home and bring their caught Pokémon into Pokémon Champions, there will be an extensive recruiting system that let’s players pick other Pokémon they’d like to test out for a limited time. If that Pokémon ends up being a perfect fit, they can be permanently added to the team using Victory Points (VP), which can be gained by Ranked Battles and more.
VP can also be used to alter Pokémon’s stats and abilities to create the exact team players are looking for. As for the battles themselves, there will be Ranked Battles, Casual Battles, and Private Battles, giving flexibilty for how players can chose to engage with Pokémon Champions.
Ahead of its September 26 launch date, new cards were revealed for Pokémon Trading Card Game’s Mega Evolution expanion, including Mega Lucario ex, Mega Kangaskhan ex, Mega Gardevoir ex, and even a trio of Bulbasaur, Ivysaur, and Mega Venusaur ex that reveal a larger image when connected.
