'Pokémon Presents': the duration of the event and which games will be showcased have leaked

Pokémon Presents returns this July 22 with new surprises for fans of the franchise. Although it hasn't started yet, the event's duration and which titles could take center stage have already been leaked.

According to the leak, the video will last 24 minutes and will feature previews of Pokémon Legends: Z-A. There is also talk of possible new titles or even a preview of the tenth generation.

How long will the Pokémon Presents event last?

The information emerged from Pokémon's official Korean channel, which uploaded the video ahead of time. This revealed that the total duration will be 24 minutes.

This amount of time would be enough to showcase both playable content and merchandise as well as other announcements. It won't be an event focused exclusively on games.

Which games will be shown during Pokémon Presents?

Everything indicates that the main feature will be Pokémon Legends: Z-A, a release that will be available for Nintendo Switch 1 and 2 starting October 16.

This title invites us to explore a city where humans and Pokémon coexist, with wild areas to explore and battle. Players will be able to choose between Chikorita, Tepig, or Totodile as their starter companion.

New mechanics for the franchise

Among the most anticipated new features of Z-A are freedom of movement during battles and the return of mega evolutions.

The game aims to renew the experience without losing the classic essence of the franchise, incorporating more dynamic mechanics and more open environments.

Will there be new titles or previews?

In recent days, an image of Pikachu next to a DJ table was leaked, sparking rumors of a possible music game. There is also speculation about some kind of tenth generation teaser.

That release would not arrive until 2026, but a first look could appear as part of the franchise's 30th anniversary.

Not everything will be about video games

As is often the case with these types of events, Pokémon Presents would also include announcements of licensed products and other collaborations.

There could be anything from clothing to collectible figures or even animation projects.
