Pokemon Presents won’t have big Switch 2 news according to rumors

According to what Jeff Grubb has mentioned, those eagerly awaiting the Switch 2 might not find significant revelations during the forthcoming Pokémon Presents event.

Earlier leaks from Niantic hinted at a potential new Pokemon Presents livestream, which could align with the Pokemon Day festivities scheduled for February 27th.

While The Pokemon Company hasn’t confirmed it yet, fans are eagerly theorizing about the potential content of the rumored presentation. For example, there’s a lot of excitement brewing that Game Freak might reveal more details about Pokemon Legends: Z-A.

Although there’s some doubt about it, journalist Jeff Grubb suggests that people eagerly waiting for potential Switch 2 announcements at the event might want to temper their excitement.

Pokemon Presents reportedly won’t feature Switch 2 games

During Episode 176 of the Last of the Nintendogs podcast, Jeff Grubb shared a piece of information he’d heard about the upcoming Pokemon Direct. He suggested that the contents will be categorized as “these titles are for Nintendo Switch version 1.

Although these enigmatic game titles are rumored to be playable on the Switch 2 via backwards compatibility, it’s important not to anticipate any content specifically designed or optimized for the new hardware.

It seems that these promising demonstrations of Pokemon Presents, such as Legends: Arceus, were specifically designed and built from scratch to work optimally on the latest Nintendo Switch console.

Additionally, Grubb pointed out that this frequency of updates is standard practice when it comes to the Pokémon series of games.

Jeff Grubb’s history with rumors and leaks has been inconsistent, so it’s wise to approach the information provided with a bit of skepticism.

While discussions swirl around which games could potentially run natively on the new Switch, Nintendo enthusiasts remain steadfastly patient as they eagerly wait for a comprehensive unveiling of the console itself.

According to reports from insiders like Nate the Hate and Tom Warren of The Verge, Nintendo is expected to reveal the long-awaited Switch 2 on Thursday, January 16. However, as usual, Nintendo has yet to confirm or deny these rumors.
