Pokemon Day 2026 is almost upon us. The annual celebration, which celebrates the release of the original Pokemon games in Japan on February 27, 1996, is the biggest unveiling of Poke-news of the year. Each year, Nintendo and The Pokemon Company drop trailers, giveaways, and new reveals during a Pokemon Presents livestream – and not only is this year no exception, it could be bigger than ever.
2026 marks the Pokemon series' 30th anniversary, and it seems likely that that will mark an upping of the ante – we've already got a good sense of what's likely to happen in a bumper year for the series, and Pokemon Day is where we'll find out for sure. From updates to mobile juggernauts like Pokemon Go to new info on upcoming releases like Pokopia and Pokemon Champions, and even maybe the reveal of a whole new generation of games, here are my top Pokemon Day 2026 predictions.
