The Pokémon Company has announced that a new Pokémon Presents will take place this weekend.
The presentation will take place on Sunday, February 27 at 6am PT / 9am ET / 2pm GMT / 11pm Japan time.
According to the official Japanese Pokémon Twitter account, the show will be 14 minutes long.
However, no information has been given on what will be shown during the presentation.
February 27 is known as Pokémon Day, because it marks the anniversary of the date Pokémon Red and Green were first released in Japan in 1996.
No Pokémon games in the main series are currently announced. This is the longest The Pokémon Company has gone without revealing what it’s working on since the announcement of Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl and Pokémon Legends: Arceus.
It has been speculated that the next generation of Pokémon games could be announced as part of Pokémon Day. Generation 8 began with Pokémon Sword and Shield.
