It’s that time of year: a whole bunch of Pokémon news is incoming. February 27th is the date the franchise first debuted, and The Pokémon Company uses it as a chance to outline its plans in a Pokémon Presents showcase. Last year’s event included the announcement of Pokémon Champions, and the 2026 edition should be particularly big, as this year represents the franchise’s 30th anniversary.

TCPi says simply that it will feature “the latest news and updates from the world of Pokémon,” without getting into any specifics. But there’s a good chance we’ll hear about the next mainline entry in the series given that Scarlet and Violet launched back in 2022. Personally I’m hoping for an unexpected spinoff along the lines of Pokémon Sleep.

One thing we do know is that after the show ends, both Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen are getting a re-release on the Switch.

The showcase airs at 9AM ET, and you can keep up with the most important news right here.

• Gotta watch it all.
• Nintendo’s next big Pokémon presentation is on February 27th
