A potential date for the next Pokémon Presents broadcast may have surfaced through the Brazilian Portuguese version of the Pokémon Masters mobile application. According to information visible within the app, the next Pokémon Presents is listed for February 27 at 11 a.m. Brasília time, suggesting that The Pokémon Company is preparing another presentation later this month.
The listing was spotted in the Brazilian version of Pokémon Masters and points to February 27, a date that already holds significance within the franchise. While The Pokémon Company has not officially confirmed the broadcast, the timing aligns with Pokémon Day, which is celebrated annually on February 27.
Pokémon Day marks the anniversary of the original Japanese release of Pokémon Red and Green in 1996. Over the years, the date has become closely associated with major Pokémon-related announcements, often delivered through Pokémon Presents broadcasts. These presentations function as the company’s primary format for revealing upcoming games, updates, and long-term franchise plans.
The association between February 27 and large-scale Pokémon announcements is well established. In 2016, a Pokémon Direct tied to the franchise’s 20th anniversary revealed Pokémon Sun and Moon. Similarly, a 2019 presentation on Pokémon Day introduced Pokémon Sword and Shield. Because of this history, expectations for a Pokémon Presents on February 27 have existed for some time, making the Pokémon Masters listing appear plausible rather than surprising.
If accurate, the February 27 presentation would follow closely after another rumored Nintendo Direct earlier in the month. Industry insiders have previously suggested that Nintendo’s first Direct presentation of 2026 is planned for the opening week of February, with Thursday, February 5 emerging as the most likely date.
The report gained momentum following exchanges on X involving NateTheHate2, also known as NateDrake. When asked about the format of Nintendo’s next Direct, he initially stated, “I don’t know format.” After a user pointed out that GameXplain had suggested a Partner presentation, Nate responded, “And he is correct. Next week’s Direct will be a Partner Direct Showcase.” Comments from Andre at GameXplain have also indicated that the upcoming presentation may be a Partner’s Showcase.
Taken together, this would suggest that February could feature two separate major broadcasts: a Nintendo Partner Direct Showcase early in the month, followed by a Pokémon Presents near the end of February.
