Pokémon Presents February 2022: How to watch, what to expect

Add as a preferred source on Google

The Pokémon series is set to host its own digital event titled “Pokémon Presents” this week on February 27. The presentation is set to be a celebration of the series, airing on the 26th anniversary of the first Pokémon game releases, Pokémon Red and Green (yes, Green, not Blue). It’s a day many fittingly call Pokémon Day.

While the Pokémon series has had quite a few releases recently it’s a mystery to think what could be the star showing of the show. Despite that here are the details of when it airs, how to watch, and what to expect.

When is Pokémon Presents?

Pokémon Presents is set to air on Sunday, February 27, 2022, at 6 a.m. PT. The official announcement states that the runtime is scheduled to be around 14 minutes.

Where to watch Pokémon Presents?

Fans of the pocket monsters can catch the live showing of the event on the official Pokémon YouTube channel. It will remain on the channel as a video after the stream for anyone that misses the event or the live tweets sure to come with it.

What to expect from Pokémon Presents?

The huge question around the event is what exactly will be shown. The Pokémon Company dropped both new remakes and the popular Pokémon Legends: Arceus in the past few months, so there is no speculation over a big announcement as of now. This leaves everyone completely clueless for the first time in a long time about what may appear. And at only 14 minutes, it probably won’t be too much.

There is the Detective Pikachu sequel that is confirmed to still be in the works that could be talked about, but beyond that, it’s a total shot in the dark. Perhaps we’ll get some news on post-launch content for Arceus, too.

The effective date of price revisions in the US, Canada, and Europe is September 1, 2026 (via CNBC). If you've been eyeing the portable gaming console, you have less than four months to get it at the launch price.

Grand Theft Auto 6 has been slow-cooking in Rockstar Games' kitchen for a long while now. But after a decade of building one of the most hyped video games of all time, the expenses are adding up.

In a new Business Insider profile of Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick, the company boss declined to say exactly how much GTA 6 has cost. His only confirmation was that “it was expensive.” However, analysts are estimating the total bill could land somewhere between $1 billion and $1.5 billion.

Mortal Kombat 1 won’t be NetherRealm’s last trip into the arena. After the 2023 reboot, Ed Boon said in a Collider interview that the team is "definitely pursuing another Mortal Kombat game," giving players the clearest sign yet that the series remains active.

NetherRealm has confirmed direction while leaving the reveal details blank. It hasn’t shared a title, launch window, platforms, roster details, or story direction. The next Mortal Kombat game is real enough to discuss, but not ready enough to show.
