Pokemon Presents live coverage – All the news from today’s Pokemon Presents

The Pokemon Presents stream to celebrate Pokemon Day 2024 is happening today in just a few short hours. Although it’s unclear exactly what the stream will detail, we do have some hints about the Pokemon Present event’s length and some theories of our own. 

Pokemon Presents February 2024 time – How to watch the Pokemon Day stream

Pokemon Sleep for example has already announced its plans for the next few months, and Pokemon has confirmed that the Netflix stop-motion show, Pokemon Concierge, is thankfully getting more episodes in recent weeks. We imagine we could also get updates for Pokemon Go, Pokemon Unite, and Pokemon Cafe Remix, it’s just whether The Pokemon Company is going to drop any other surprises.

Okay let’s start with exactly how long this live stream is going to be. According to a tweet from Gematsu:

“The Japanese premiere link for tomorrow’s Pokemon Direct broadcast is up, and metadata reveals its runtime is 12 minutes and 52 seconds.”

Now that might not sound like much, but actually it’s pretty close to the average running time of most of the Pokemon Presents streams. 

The major 2021 event was just over 20 minutes long and revealed Pokemon Scarlet and Violet and the first Gen 9 Pokemon, and then the 2022 event – as flagged by Joe Merrick – was only 14 minutes long and still managed to cram in the bigger Scarlet and Violet reveal, Pokemon Legends Arceus DLC and more. 

Let’s take a look at some updates we can be pretty sure we’re getting, starting with Pokemon Sleep. Earlier this week, the most relaxing Pokemon game going announced its next big update, which is set to drop on February 29.

The headline change in update 1.3.0 is a boost to max levels, raising Pokemon, Recipe, and Trainer levels from 50 to 55, and adding a handful of quality-of-life changes. It comes off the back of the introduction of a new map earlier this year, which is why this might seem like a slightly smaller update, but these boosts have been relatively well-received by players.

Pokemon Go is also likely to make a substantial showing – just yesterday, Niantic confirmed the arrival of a new season – World of Wonders looks set to put a relatively colorful spin on the game, with an intriguing rift opening in the sky in its trailer. If I had to guess, that could be linked to a new region, or it could mean the arrival of Paradox Pokemon from Pokemon Scarlet and Violet – ‘mons that are adapted to life in the distant past or the far future.

I’m guessing we’ll find out a bit more about World of Wonders, which is due to run from March 1 to June 1.
