When is the Upcoming Pokémon Presents Event?

Okay, so here’s the scoop — there’s this Pokémon thing happening. I mean, if you care about that. The whole shebang is set for July. A summer treat, maybe? It’s like the second act of 2025, Pokémon-style. The first one was back in February, when everyone was still planning New Year’s resolutions, I guess. (Did anyone actually keep theirs?)

Anyway, the action kicks off on July 22. Yep, mark your calendar, or don’t — I’m not your mom. They’ll be streaming on that YouTube thing at 9 a.m. EDT, in case you’re up and caffeinated by then. Early birds on the West Coast, you’re up at 6 a.m. Ouch. No word on how long this ride lasts, so maybe pack some snacks.

Oh, and speaking of surprises, they’re keeping mum about what they’re blabbing on about. But here’s the deal: Pokémon Legends: Z-A might pop up. That’s, like, the new gig they’re hyping, where you wander through Lumiose City — if you’ve been around since Pokémon X and Y, that’s your jam. Drops on Oct. 16, so not too far off.

Also, Pokémon’s got that sparkle in its eye — likely dropping some surprise goodies. It’s almost three years since Scarlet and Violet, and they know how to make a scene. What will they pull? No idea, but isn’t guessing half the fun?
