It’s official: Pokémon is 30 years old. From a simple Game Boy cartridge to the biggest media franchise on the planet, it’s been one heck of a journey. The Pokémon Presents event was packed, so if you blinked and missed something, we’ve got your back.
Here’s the sandwich-sized rundown of the biggest bites from the big day:


The Weirdest Collectible: Fancy a Game Boy Jukebox? TPC announced a tiny music player that uses miniature Pokémon cartridges. It’s as bizarre and wonderful as it sounds.

The Future is (Windy &) Waves: The new mainline Gen 10 games, Pokémon Winds & Waves, are officially coming to Switch 2… in 2027. It’s a wait, but we’re already stressing over which starter to pick.
FireRed & LeafGreen Live: The GBA classics are out on Switch eShop now. Just a heads up—Pokémon HOME support is coming later, but transfers will be one-way only. Also, watch your language; the new versions have censored the rude rival names!
A Shadow Returns: Cult classic Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness is hitting the GameCube Nintendo Classics library on Switch 2 next month. Time to rediscover the edgy side of Pokémon.
Champions Arrives Soon: The competitive battler Pokémon Champions has a release window! Expect to throw down on Switch this April 2026.
It’s a great time to be a Pokémon fan. Which announcement got you most excited? Drop your thoughts below!
