Don't expect any announcements regarding Pokemon titles for the Nintendo Switch 2 during the upcoming Pokemon Presents on February 27th. While leaks suggest an imminent Switch 2 reveal, it appears the Pokemon franchise will remain on the original Switch for the foreseeable future. The focus of the February 27th presentation will likely be on Pokemon Legends: Z-A.
Although Nintendo has confirmed the existence of a backward-compatible Switch successor, details remain scarce. Leaks paint a picture of a more powerful, larger iteration of the original Switch. While future Pokemon games are undoubtedly destined for the Switch 2, reports indicate that the February 27th event will showcase titles developed for the original Switch, leveraging its backward compatibility on the new console.
Pokemon Presents Focus:
The Pokemon Presents will likely feature updates on existing live-service titles such as Pokemon GO and Pokemon Trading Card Game Live. Significant attention is anticipated for Pokemon Legends: Z-A, slated for release on the original Switch this year. While a teaser trailer hinted at a Lumiose City setting, returning Pokemon, and the return of Mega Evolutions, much remains undisclosed. Speculation persists about another main-series Pokemon game launching this year, separate from Legends: Z-A and Generation 10.
Potential for Original Switch Exclusives:
Rumors suggest a new main-series title, possibly Pokemon Black and White remakes or a new Let's Go installment, will also launch on the original Switch. This aligns with the Pokemon franchise's historical tendency to prioritize consoles with larger install bases, mirroring the release of Pokemon Black 2 and White 2 on the original DS.
Therefore, the first genuinely Switch 2-exclusive Pokemon games may well be the Generation 10 titles. However, until official confirmation during the February 27th Pokemon Presents, this remains speculation.
