The newest title in the venerable Pokémon franchise is on the way and the excitement is growing fast. After the successful release of 2022 Pokemon Legends: ArceusNintendo and The Pokemon Company have announced the highly anticipated follow-up title, Pokemon Legends: ZA. Coming to Nintendo Switch in 2025, Pokemon Legends: ZA should serve as one of the last hurrays for the Switch before the release of Nintendo's next-gen platform.
Fans are dying to try this new one Pokémon game as it will return players to the Kalos region for the first time since 2013 Pokemon X and Y. While it's been largely radio silence about this project since it was announced in February, there's been no shortage of excitement for what Game Freak and The Pokemon Company will create with this new entry. If the rumors are true, fans won't have to wait too long to hear more about it.

Pokemon Legends: ZA could be showcased very soon
Pokemon Legends: ZA may return before Pokemon Day
Recently, Pokemon Legends: ZA leaks have been common thanks to another “Gigaleak” related to Pokémon franchise. Nintendo previously suffered from ten different “Gigaleaks” from 2020-2021, and in October Pokémon series became the latest victim of such a data breach. While most of these leaks centered around source code for previously released Pokémon project some upcoming games were included in these leaks.
This new set of leaks doesn't appear to be part of the same data breach, but it does offer some big news regarding Pokemon Legends: ZA. Apparently a new one Pokemon Legends: ZA trailer will be revealed before Pokemon Day. Pokemon Day is an annual tradition that happens every year on February 27th, the anniversary of when Pokemon red and green was released first, and it seems fans could tell Pokemon Legends: ZA before then.
Pokemon fans can get two Legends ZA trailers
If this leak is true – and of course it should be taken with a grain of salt – it sets Pokémon fans up for a potential double whammy of Pokemon Legends: ZA goodness. Again, Pokemon Day happens every year on February 27, and The Pokemon Company always hosts a live stream to showcase new Pokémon content during a given year. Of course like Pokemon Legends: ZA appears to be its biggest upcoming project in 2025, The Pokemon Company will no doubt have a new trailer for the game ready to go by the time this live stream 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 haven't seen any of Legends: ZA since its announcement trailer in February, receiving two trailers in this short time frame would build up tons of excitement among fans. Also, as perhaps one of the last major titles to be released before Nintendo's next system is ready, it would give fans plenty to look forward to before the new console inevitably steals all the attention for itself.
If a trailer will be released before Pokemon Day, fans will get two distinct looks at the new game in a maximum of four months.
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 in-depth it will be. The leak did not reveal how extensive this supposed trailer will be and how much of the gameplay it will show. It's fair to assume that such a trailer won't be an extensive “deep dive,” as Game Freak and The Pokemon Company would probably be best served saving it for the Pokemon Day stream.
Even so, the potential for two Pokemon Legends: ZA trailers over the next four months is an exciting proposition. Gamers have been patiently waiting to hear more news about Legends: Arceus follow-up, and it's exciting to know that such news could be just around the corner. Whether a new trailer will be ready to run sooner or later, Pokemon Legends: ZA is likely to be one of the biggest titles in 2025 when The Pokemon Company is ready to show it off.
