This Pokémon Presents teaser has me thinking the company is about to announce a rhythm game, but I'll believe it when I see it
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Another Pokémon Presents teaser has dropped on official channels It shows Pikachu looking curiously at a DJ set in the background It's unknown what this could be teasing, perhaps a rhythm game There's a new Pokémon Presents teaser that's landed on social media, showing off a rather curious visual of Pikachu standing quizzically in front of a set of DJ decks. The official Japanese Pokémon account posted the teaser to X / Twitter. Roughly translated to English, the post teases: "It seems like Pikachu is preparing something...? Stay tuned for more updates!" The next Pokémon Presents presentation is scheduled to air on July 22, at 6am PDT / 8am CT / 1pm BST / 2pm CEST. You'll be able to watch it live on the official Pokémon YouTube and Twitch channels at the time of airing. So back to the teaser in question. As an enjoyer of rhythm games, encompassing everything from PaRappa the Rapper and Rez to Guitar Hero and Rift of the NecroDancer, that's naturally where my brain takes me. And I don't think it's controversial to say a Pokémon rhythm game would be a good idea, given the sheer amount of top tunes throughout the series. I'm keeping my expectations in check, though, as Pokémon Presents showcases rarely deliver anything beyond mobile game updates and mild disappointment. The image could instead be teasing a new music-related app, an update for an existing or upcoming Pokémon title, or perhaps even a real-world event. Otherwise, I'm also hoping to see updates on Pokémon Legends Z-A, releasing for Switch and Switch 2 on October 16. More information on the upcoming Pokémon Champions would be welcome, too. And as ever, I'll be praying for the first three Pokémon generations to show up on Nintendo Switch Online, though that's usually about as likely as catching a shiny Manaphy. You might also like...

Pokemon Presents Announced for July 2025 With Pikachu Speaker Tease
It's that time again, trainers: Grab your Pokedex and get ready to catch some new pocket monsters, because we're about to hear everything on the latest developments in the world of Pokemon. The Pokemon Presents July 2025 stream is the first one since Pokemon Day in February. That stream ended up being pretty massive, featuring game announcements and content updates that we heard whispers about from GameFreak's infamous 2024 data breach. While we don't know what to expect this time around, it's safe to assume that we'll hear about the next mainline games, mobile titles, live service updates and more. Here's how you can watch the upcoming Pokemon Direct -- and what you can expect to see once you tune into the stream. We've seen an official trailer for Pokemon Legends: Z-A, but the upcoming Pokemon Presents stream could divulge more information about the game. Nintendo/Screenshot by CNET How to watch July 2025's Pokemon Presents stream The upcoming Pokemon Presents stream will take place on Tuesday, July 22 at 9 a.m. ET. The stream will go live on the official Pokemon YouTube channel. Not sure when July's Pokemon Presents will go live for you? Here's when the event starts in your time zone: ET: July 22 at 9 a.m. July 22 at 9 a.m. CT: July 22 at 8 a.m. July 22 at 8 a.m. MT: July 22 at 7 a.m. July 22 at 7 a.m. PT: July 22 at 6 a.m. We don't know exactly how long the event will run, but previous Pokemon Presents streams have ranged from 10 to 20 minutes long, depending on how many announcements are prepared for the stream. Pokemon Go just celebrated its ninth anniversary -- we can expect to hear more about this mobile game (among others) during the upcoming Pokemon Direct. Nintendo/Screenshot by CNET What can you expect from Pokemon Presents July 2025? This Pokemon Presents stream is positioned at a strange time -- Pokemon Legends: Z-A for the Nintendo Switch 2 has already been announced and we have plenty of info (and gameplay footage) available for that game. We might still get a segment that expands on new gameplay mechanics or Pokemon that players will be able to find in this version of the Kalos region, especially Mega forms we haven't yet seen. The official Pokemon Company Japan X account teased this Pokemon Direct with a rather foreboding photo of Pikachu standing in front of some DJ equipment, so we might just hear about a Pokemon rhythm game. Between that, New Pokemon Snap and the return of Mystery Dungeon, I'm loving the reintroduction of bizarre offshoot games. It's also possible that generation 10 will be announced during the presentation. There are usually three years between mainline Pokemon titles, and Pokemon Scarlet and Violet released in 2022. Unless GameFreak is looking to polish the next big games with some extra development time, we're probably due to hear about the next generation of Pokemon games extremely soon. Pokemon Day 2025 featured an announcement for Pokemon Champions, a dedicated Pokemon battling game, but we haven't heard much about the game since. We could very well get an update about that game during this stream, explaining more about how the game will integrate the series' long list of battle mechanics and giving us a better idea of when we'll see a full release. Otherwise, the backbone of this presentation will very likely be composed of routine updates and new features for Pokemon mobile and live service games. We can expect to hear about new Pokemon coming to Pokemon Cafe Mix, Pokemon Masters Ex and Pokemon Sleep, with the potential for new playable pocket monsters to be revealed for Pokemon Unite. With Pokemon Go changing hands from Niantic to Scopely, it's also possible that the extremely popular AR game will have announcements that shake up core gameplay features for Pokemon trainers worldwide. The recent addition of the Gold Bottle Cap was already a massive change for the status quo. I'd be willing to bet that the next Pokemon TCG Pocket set will be revealed during this Pokemon Presents as well. New expansions are usually teased at the end of each month, which lines up with this stream. The last Pokemon Presents included info about a massive set expansion, too, so the precedent is already set for this reveal. If you're excited for non-gaming Pokemon content, there's also a chance we'll see some Pokemon Concierge during the Pokemon Presents July stream. The second season for this slice-of-life Pokemon hotel series is set to release on Netflix in September, so we might catch a scene or two teasing the show and get an official release date.

How to watch Pokemon Presents July 2025 and what to expect from the showcase
The Pokemon Presents July 2025 showcase is just around the corner, and should provide fans with a glimpse into the future of the Pokemon franchise. Here's everything you need to know about the presentation The Pokemon franchise is set to receive a fresh jolt of excitement with the upcoming Pokemon Presents showcase, and fans are eagerly anticipating some major announcements. A new Pokemon Presents showcase is on the horizon, which comes as a relief for players who have been yearning for more content. Naturally, the release of the Nintendo Switch 2 has kept many gamers engaged, with Scarlet and Violet being among the games optimised for the Nintendo Switch 2 to ensure top-notch performance and superior visuals. This significant step has breathed new life into these games. However, aside from that, the only other offering from the Pokemon franchise currently is Pokemon Legends Z-A. There's ample scope for other titles from the franchise to join the new generation in the 2025 Nintendo Switch 2 games line-up. That's why the forthcoming Pokemon Presents showcase, due to arrive imminently, is so intriguing. We could either be treated to a mundane array of updates to the franchise's lesser-known titles or witness some game-changing revelations that pave the way for a brand-new generation of games. Whether this will be a showcase to remember remains to be seen, but we'll certainly be tuning in. So, how exactly can you watch the showcase? And what should we expect from it? Here's your guide to watching the upcoming Pokemon Presents. How to watch Pokemon Presents July 2025 The Pokemon Presents July 2025 showcase is scheduled for Tuesday, July 22 at 6am PDT / 9am EDT / 2pm BST. The event can be viewed on the Pokemon YouTube channel, and we'll embed the YouTube link in this article once it's available. Nintendo has yet to disclose the duration of this showcase, but based on previous presentations in this category, which typically last between 10 and 20 minutes, we anticipate a similar timeframe for this one as well. So, what's in store for us in the Pokemon Presents July 2025 showcase? Predicting exactly what the upcoming Pokemon Presents showcase will bring is tricky, especially with Pokemon Legends Z-A still in the pipeline and ample gameplay footage already circulating online. The game's release date is already set in stone, so it seems unlikely that we'll see any major revelations for this title, save perhaps for some plot twists or new Mega Evolutions – hence, an unannounced game and updates to existing live service titles seem more probable. We're likely to see fresh additions to Pokemon Cafe Mix, Unite, Sleep, GO, TCG Pocket and more. These games frequently feature new elements in Pokemon Presents showcases and invariably form the main content of each presentation. We're also keen to learn more about the second series of Pokemon Concierge, due to hit Netflix this coming September. There are many uncertainties here, but regardless, we can anticipate some thrilling news for Pokemon enthusiasts. Let's hope for some major reveals, such as the anticipated new generation, although it's incredibly difficult to guarantee something like that. Keep your hopes up, and we might just get lucky.
