The Pokemon Company is gearing up for some for big announcements in 2021. After all, this is the 25th Anniversary of the Pokemon franchise, and what better way is there to celebrate than to give fans some new projects to look forward to. Nintendo announced today that there will be a presentation taking place on the official Pokemon YouTube channel tomorrow, and the news could answer some rumors that have been circulating in the Pokemon community.
2021 began with a few surprises for Pokemon fans, including a Pokemon 25th Anniversary celebration video featuring a fun Rube Goldberg device and a series of concerts headlined by Katy Perry. There's already been updates to Pokemon GO content for players to enjoy this year and even some special events for Pokemon Sword and Shield. But Pokemon fans have bigger things on their minds than just updates and events and it is possible tomorrow's Pokemon Presents will have answers to those questions.

The Pokemon Presents video will take place on the official Pokemon YouTube channel tomorrow on February 26 at 7:00 a.m. PDT, or 10 a.m. ET. Nintendo announced the presentation on Twitter today, officially kicking off the countdown for fans eager for news concerning the biggest fan requests of The Pokemon Company. The presentation should be around 20 minutes long.
Most likely at the top of the list for fan requests are the rumored Pokemon Diamond and Pearl remakes. There are already several bits of information floating around this year that have hinted at the remakes, including some GameStop product listings and possible leaked sound bites from the Diamond and Pearl remakes. Fans were crushed when no Pokemon news was revealed at the last Nintendo Direct, and it has only increased the anticipation for possible remakes of the 4th generation games on Nintendo Switch.
Other news that could possibly make the Pokemon Presents video would be more information on the new Pokemon Snap game. Announced last year in June, the new Pokemon Snap game is a re-introduction to the original Pokemon Snap game released for Nintendo 64 in 1999. The new Pokemon Snap will release on April 30 for Nintendo Switch and allows players to take pictures of Pokemon in their natural habitats and edit those pictures into works of art.
Unfortunately, there is no guarantee that definitive news of the Diamond and Pearl remakes or more information about the new Pokemon Snap game will be at tomorrow's presentation. Although some recent Pokemon leaks from a reliable source stated fans wouldn't have to wait long for "the big news [they've] been waiting for," there is still a possibility that this information could be incorrect. Pokemon fans will know for sure tomorrow.
