According to multiple reliable sources within the gaming industry, Nintendo may be preparing a special Nintendo Direct presentation for September 2025 that could include the announcement of a new Pokemon spin-off title. While the exact nature of this potential reveal remains unclear, the speculation has generated significant excitement among the Pokemon community.

The rumors began circulating following major gaming events like Gamescom and PAX West, with content creator SwitchForce suggesting that Nintendo might host its Direct on either September 11th or 12th. Additional leaks indicated that three games featuring the number seven in some capacity might be showcased during the event. While titles like Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade and 007 First Light have already been confirmed for Switch 2 ports, the exact lineup for the speculated Nintendo Direct remains unconfirmed.

Three prominent gaming leakers—Necrolipe, Centro, and Riddler Khu—have independently suggested that a Pokemon spin-off game could be part of the September Nintendo Direct lineup. When questioned about whether the tenth generation of mainline Pokemon games would be featured, Necrolipe clarified that the announcement would specifically concern a spin-off title rather than a core series game.

Both Riddler Khu and Centro emphasized that this potential Pokemon spin-off announcement would be separate from news regarding Pokemon Legends: Z-A, which is expected to receive its own updates later in the week independent of any Nintendo Direct presentations. The lack of specific details has led to widespread speculation among fans about which Pokemon spin-off series might be returning or what new concept might be introduced.

The gaming community has been actively discussing which classic Pokemon spin-off titles might make a return. Many trainers have expressed hope for revivals of beloved DS-era series such as Pokemon Ranger or Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, potentially remastered for the Switch 2 platform. Others have wondered about release dates for previously announced GameCube titles like Pokemon Colosseum and Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness, which are scheduled to appear on the Nintendo GameCube: Nintendo Classics app.

As of now, The Pokemon Company has not officially confirmed any game releases beyond the upcoming Pokemon Legends: Z-A. However, fans won't have to wait long for official Pokemon news, as a potential reveal featuring Mega Malamar in Pokemon Legends: Z-A is scheduled for September 10th.
