The Pokémon Company just dropped a brand-new Pokémon Presents livestream, and fans were treated to 24 minutes packed with teases, trailers, and surprises. The highlight was more footage from Pokémon Legends: Z-A, the upcoming open-world title set in a futuristic Lumiose City. We saw glimpses of revamped Mega Evolutions, urban exploration mechanics, and even new regional forms for classic Pokémon. The game seems to be leaning heavily into sci-fi elements, giving fans a totally different vibe from Legends: Arceus while still delivering open-ended adventure.

One of the most talked about moments was the reveal of DJ Pikachu, a funky in-universe event mascot who’s already becoming a meme. DJ Pikachu is tied to an upcoming rhythm mini-game mode, set to drop in Pokémon Unite and possibly mobile. Other updates included themed crossover events, new content for Pokémon Sleep, and expanded compatibility between Pokémon GO and the mainline titles. While no exact release date was given for Legends: Z-A, the stream confirmed a 2025 window, setting the stage for what could be Pokémon’s boldest shift yet.
