Press Release - POKÉMON EXPANDS ENTERTAINMENT OFFERINGS WITH NEW WAYS TO PLAY IN THE POKÉMON LEGENDS: Z-A VIDEO GAME AND THE REVEAL OF POKÉMON CHAMPIONS

Pokémon Day Celebrates 29 Years of Global Fandom by Increasing Latin American Spanish Support for Upcoming Product Launches, Including the Pokémon Trading Card Game

Additional Franchise Updates Announced During Pokémon Presents Video Presentation, Including Mega Evolution Pokémon ex for the Pokémon Trading Card Game, New Triumphant Light Themed Booster Pack for Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket, and More

Bellevue, Wash. — Feb. 27, 2025 — Today, The Pokémon Company group hosted a special Pokémon Presents video presentation, streamed online to fans around the world on Pokémon Day, the annual fan-focused holiday celebrating the launch of the original Pokémon video games on Feb. 27, 1996. Highlights include a new look at the Pokémon Legends: Z-A video game, the reveal of Pokémon Champions, a first look at the latest Pokémon TCG news, teasers for new episodes of Pokémon Concierge, and more.

“Pokémon continues to capture the imaginations of longtime fans and new, and Pokémon Day reveals for 2025 and beyond are our way of celebrating with them by continuing to deliver the joy of Pokémon to Trainers around the world,” said Kenji Okubo, president of The Pokémon Company International. “In addition to the reveal of Pokémon Champions and new introductions to the popular Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket app, we’re looking forward to a ‘Mega’ year as we prepare for the launch of the Pokémon Legends: Z-A video game featuring the mechanic, as well as the introduction of Mega Evolution Pokémon ex to the best-selling Pokémon TCG. To extend the global celebration, we’re especially looking forward to offering the Pokémon TCG in Latin American Spanish for the first time, as well as Pokémon Legends: Z-A and Pokémon Champions. We wish a happy Pokémon Day to all!”

Highlights and details from the special Pokémon Day Pokémon Presents follow.

Pokémon Champions

Developed by The Pokémon Works in collaboration with GAME FREAK, the developer of the Pokémon video games, Pokémon Champions continues the tradition of Trainers pitting their skills against those of others from around the world, with the aim of allowing core game-style battles to be enjoyed by more players than ever before.[1]

Pokémon Champions will also be compatible with Pokémon HOME, the cloud service for Nintendo Switch and mobile devices, allowing Trainers to team up with Pokémon brought over from previous Pokémon games in addition to those they partner with in Pokémon Champions.[2]


Pokémon Champions will be available on the Nintendo Switch family of systems, as well as on mobile devices. For more details on Pokémon Champions, please stay tuned for future announcements.

Pokémon Legends: Z-A

Scheduled for release in late 2025, and first revealed on Pokémon Day 2024, the Pokémon Legends: Z-A game is set in Lumiose City, where an urban redevelopment plan is underway to shape the city into a place that belongs to both people and Pokémon. After arriving in Lumiose City, players will befriend a Pokémon that will become their first partner Pokémon: Chikorita, Tepig, or Totodile.

Explore Wild Zones and Make Pokémon Your Allies

Players can catch wild Pokémon living in wild zones or out and about in Lumiose City by aiming a Poké Ball at them and letting it fly. Some Pokémon will flee immediately if they spot the player, meaning players should hide out of sight or approach from behind to make themselves harder to notice. Players can also battle Pokémon to lower their HP, making them easier to catch.

A Pokémon Series First: Trainers and Pokémon Taking Real-Time Actions During Battle

In previous Pokémon video game series titles, Pokémon’s actions were turn-based. In Pokémon Legends: Z-A, Trainers and their Pokémon will move around in real time during battles, and Pokémon will unleash their moves when their Trainers command them to. New gameplay mechanics include precise timing for swapping out Pokémon or using moves, the different lengths of time moves will take to launch, and the total area the moves will impact.

People and Pokémon You Can Encounter in Lumiose City

While visiting Lumiose City, players will stay in an old hotel named Hotel Z and encounter the hotel’s owner, AZ—plus his partner Pokémon, Eternal Flower Floette, an unusual Floette that holds a black flower. This hotel will serve as players’ base of operations as they experience all sorts of adventures in Lumiose City alongside new and exciting characters, such as Urbain or Taunie—a new friend players will make throughout their adventures. The appearance players choose at the beginning of the game will determine which of the two they’ll meet.

Mega Evolution

In Lumiose City, Trainers will sometimes be able to see Pokémon undergo Mega Evolution—a kind of Evolution that transcends standard Evolution. Effectively using Mega Evolution will likely be key to victory in Pokémon battles.

For more information, please visit the official Pokémon Legends: Z-A website.

Pokémon Legends: Z-A, Pokémon Champions, and Pokémon TCG Expand Playable Languages to Include Latin American Spanish

Pokémon Legends: Z-A and Pokémon Champions will be playable in Latin American Spanish at launch, marking a new milestone in localization for the region. With the addition of Latin American Spanish, the Pokémon series will soon support 10 playable languages. The globally popular Pokémon TCG will also soon expand language support to include Latin American Spanish with the launch of the next expansion, Scarlet & Violet—Journey Together, ensuring that millions of fans can enjoy Pokémon in their regional language and connect with the global Pokémon community like never before.

Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket Celebrates 100 Million Downloads with Reveal of New Triumphant Light Themed Booster Pack

Terastal Festival ex Eievui ex

For the High Class Pack Terastal Festival ex set, which was released on Friday, December 6th, 2024 in Japan, the Eievui ex card featured a tie-in with her. That same card is included in the Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet Prismatic Evolutions Super-Premium Collection.


Ishihara Tsunekazu, president of The Pokémon Company loves été and has visited the restaurant with some important people several times. In 2022, he visited with people from Creatures, the developer of the Pokémon Card Game, and everyone was very impressed with the food and he said at that time that he wanted to work together to create something exciting like the food there. She thought that the sparkling Terastal Jewels above Eievei's head looked like fruit jewellery to her, so she cut seven different types of fruit into diamond shapes to represent the Terastal Jewels for the Eievui ex card.
