The new Pokémon Presents could be a huge catalyst for Nintendo stock. Pokémon is one of the video game company’s largest series, with 489 million units sold as of March 2025. That means any new games announced during the presentation could see huge sales on Nintendo’s Switch 2, which launched last month and has already shipped 5 million units.
Of course, there are also going to be updates to upcoming games that have already been announced. That includes Pokémon Legends: Z-A, which is set to come out later this year. Nintendo may finally reveal a release date during this Pokémon Presents. Pokémon Legends: Z-A is also expected to sell well, as it will release on the original Switch too, which has sold 152.12 million units.
