The newest title in the venerablePokemonfranchise is on its way, and excitement is quickly building.

Set to arrive on the Nintendo Switch in 2025,Pokemon Legends: Z-Ashould serve as one of the final hurrahs for the Switch before Nintendo’s next-generation platform is released.

Fans are chomping at the bit to try this newPokemongame as it willreturn players to the Kalos regionfor the first time since 2013’sPokemon X and Y. While there’s largely been radio silence on this project since its announcement this past February, there’s been no shortage of excitement for what Game Freak and The Pokemon Company will create with this new entry. If rumors are true, fans will not have to wait too long to hear more about it.

Pokemon Legends: Z-A Could Be Shown Off Very Soon

Pokemon Legends: Z-A Might Return Before Pokemon Day

Lately,Pokemon Legends: Z-Aleaks have been common thanks to another “Gigaleak” related to thePokemonfranchise.Nintendo previously suffered from ten different “Gigaleaks”from 2020-2021, and this past October, thePokemonseries became the latest victim of such a data breach. While most of these leaks centered around source code for previously releasedPokemonprojects, some upcoming games were included in these leaks.

This new set of leaks doesn’t appear to be part of that same data breach, but it does offer some major news regardingPokemon Legends: Z-A. Seemingly, a newPokemon Legends: Z-Atrailerwill be revealed before Pokemon Day. Pokemon Day is an annual tradition that happens every year on February 27, the anniversary of whenPokemon Red and Greenwere first released, and it appears fans could be seeingPokemon Legends: Z-Abefore that.

Pokemon Fans May Be Getting Two Legends Z-A Trailers

If this leak is true – and naturally, it should be taken with a grain of salt – it setsPokemonfans up for a potential double whammy ofPokemon Legends: Z-Agoodness. Again, Pokemon Day happens every year on February 27, and The Pokemon Company always hosts a livestream to show off newPokemoncontent in a given year. Naturally, asPokemon Legends: Z-Aappears to be its largest upcoming project in 2025, The Pokemon Company will undoubtedly have a new trailer for the game ready to go when this livestream rolls around.

That said, if a trailer is set to be released before Pokemon Day, fans will get two distinct looks at the new game in no more than four months. Considering how fans have seennothing ofLegends: Z-Asince its announcement trailerin February, receiving two trailers in this short of a time frame would build plenty of excitement among the fanbase. Furthermore, as perhaps one of the last major titles set to release before Nintendo’s next system is ready, it would give fans plenty to look forward to before the new console inevitably siphons all the attention for itself.

Pokemon Day Is The Better Place For A Deep Dive

Of course, if a trailer is on the way, it’s not entirely clear how much of a deep dive it will be. The leak did not disclose how extensive this supposed trailer will be and how much of the game it will show. It’s fair to assume such a trailer will not be an extensive “deep dive,” as Game Freak and The Pokemon Company would probably be best served saving that for the Pokemon Day stream.

Even so, the potential for twoPokemon Legends: Z-Atrailers over the next four months is an exciting proposition. Gamers have waited patiently to hearmore news about theLegends: Arceusfollow-up, and it’s exciting to know that such news may be right around the corner. Whether a new trailer will be ready to go sooner or later,Pokemon Legends: Z-Awill likely become one of the biggest titles of 2025 once The Pokemon Company is ready to show it off.
