Description:
Pokmon Presents will bring more announcements from Nintendo, but the
specifics are still a mystery.
FULL STORY ======================================================================
The next Pokmon Presents showcase will be arriving next week and promises "exciting Pokmon news."
The showcase will be available on the Pokmon YouTube channel and is set to arrive on February 27 at 9am EST / 6am PST / 2pm BST. Those in Australia will be able to tune in at 12am AEST on February 28.
The official Pokmon Twitter / X page made the announcement this morning (February 20), along with a short but sweet 15-second trailer depicting a dancing Pikachu. While we don't yet know exactly what to expect, but, between the possibility of flashy remakes or a brand new Pokmon generation, there are plenty of potential reveals that could turn the head of even the most jaded fan. Did somebody say #PokemonPresents? Tune in to our official YouTube channel at 6:00 a.m. PST on February 27th to view exciting Pokmon news in celebration of #PokemonDay 2024! See you there, Trainers! :

The Pokmon Presents showcase will coincide with Pokmon Day, the anniversary
of the release of the original Pokmon Red and Pokmon Green versions in Japan on Game Boy Color back in 1996. The Pokmon Company acknowledges the event every year, and marking the day with a Pokmon Presents showcase seems especially fitting.
The latest generation of Pokmon hasn't been without its challenges. Pokmon Scarlet and Violet , which released at the end of 2022, received mixed responses. In our review here at TechRadar Gaming, I praised the title as
"the most ambitious Pokmon game ever made" on account of its impressive open world. However, Scarle t and Violet was also "significantly held back by performance issues and bugs."
More recently, the success of multiplayer survival game Palworld has drawn attention to the demand for a more modern and innovative monster-catching title. While the survival and manufacturing mechanics in Palworld are
markedly different from Pokmon , millions of players have been attracted to Pocketpair's early access adventure game on account of its novelty - a feat that The Pokmon Company will likely be unable to ignore.
This means there's more riding on the upcoming Pokmon Presents than you might initially suspect. The Pokmon Company is in the unenviable position of
needing to rebuild trust and confidence. On February 27, we'll be able to see if it's able to deliver.
