With the upcoming Pokémon Presents livestream taking place in less than a day, it would be a given to think thatPokémon Legends: Z-Awould be at the top of everyone’s minds. Not so, given a recent series of posts.
These posts by the Pokémon Company on X seemed to convince many fans of the existence of remakes for two of the series’ most defining entries,FireRedandLeafGreen.
The posts are all focused on the event’s pre-show hosted by DJ Pikachu, and gained a lot of attention by way of his glasses, which seem to be inspired by the mentioned titles. Although the leaf-themed pair had already been revealed, Pikachu’s newFireRed-inspired look and their countdown style were, for many, the definitive hint of the existence of the rumored remakes.
「Pokémon Presents」放送はいよいよ明日！ワニノコは既に盛り上がっているみたいだね。直前企画のDJピカチュウのライブ放送では、さまざまなサングラスをかけたピカチュウが登場するよ。お楽しみにね！#ポケモンプレゼンツ#PokemonLegendsZAhttps://t.co/qCf5mb0iSwpic.twitter.com/u9PXuu8Ljq
Keep in mind that the presentationhas been confirmed to be 24 minutes long, which further increases the possibility of huge reveals. Less hopeful fans, however, have pointed out on social media that Pikachu’s glasses might instead be hinting at the addition of the two GBA titles to the Switch Online Game Boy Advance lineup.
Apart from the near guarantee that news regardingZ-Awill be revealed, other series likePokémon Trading Card Game Pocket,Sleep,Unite, and evenGOare also highly likely to be present during the July 22 livestream. It would also not be a stretch to expect to see somePokémon Champions!as well, as very little is currently known about the battle-focused entry.
The June 05, 2025 Pokémon Presents livestream will take place at 6 AM PT / 9 AM ET. You can catch it onThe Official Pokémon YouTube channel. The pre-show, featuring DJ Pikachu, will start an hour early, although we still don’t know if this will be exclusive to the Japanese broadcast, available via thePokémon JP YouTube Channel. One thing I know for sure is that, no matter in which form, being able to play theRedandGreenre-releases on newer hardware would be a welcome surprise.
