Fans of the Pokemon franchise should be excited for Tuesday, August 8 at 6:00am PT, as that's when the next Pokemon Presents event will take place. Rumors have been swirling for quite some time that a Pokemon Presents event would be happening in August, and fans had very good reason to believe the rumors were true.
First off, data miners found reference to a special Pokemon Presents event within the Pokemon Masters EX update files, which was pretty damning evidence that a Pokemon Presents would indeed be taking place in August. Secondly, there has long been an established pattern of one Pokemon Presents happening in February and another happening in August. It was really just a matter of time before the official announcement happened, and now it's finally come to pass.
The Pokemon Company has officially announced that the next Pokemon Presents event will happen on Tuesday, August 8 at 6:00am PT. Additionally, it was confirmed that the next Pokemon Presents event will be about 35 minutes long. Specific Pokemon games for the event were not announced, but fans can make some educated guesses about what they'll see when they tune in to the big show on August 8.
When is the Next Pokemon Presents Event for 2023?
- Tuesday, August 8 at 6:00am PT
It seems safe to say that Pokemon Scarlet and Violet DLC will be front and center at the new Pokemon Presents event on August 8. Both The Teal Mask and The Indigo Disk are without release dates at the time of this writing, so it's possible Pokemon fans will get more clarification on that front. Recent rumors from reputable insiders have teased that there will be more new Pokemon introduced in the DLC that have yet to be revealed, so perhaps fans will get a glimpse at them as well.
The Pokemon Masters EX leak suggests that game will be at the Pokemon Presents too, and it's possible that some other Pokemon spin-off games will also get some time in the spotlight, like the recently released Pokemon Sleep, the persistently popular Pokemon GO, the MOBA Pokemon Unite, etc. Upcoming Switch exclusive Detective Pikachu Returns seems like an obvious choice to feature at the Pokemon Presents, especially when one considers that the game's release date is October 6.
While not as likely, it's also possible that Pokemon fans will finally get a release date for Pokemon Stadium 2 for the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack service. Ultimately, Pokemon fans will just have to tune in to the next Pokemon Presents on Tuesday, August 8 at 6:00am PT to find out more.
