Upcoming Pokémon Presents Unlikely to Feature Switch 2-Specific Games

Reports suggest the February event will showcase titles developed for the current Nintendo Switch, with backward compatibility for the Switch 2.

Journalist Jeff Grubb claims the Pokémon Presents event on February 27 will focus on games designed for the current Nintendo Switch, not the Switch 2.
Pokémon Legends: Z-A, announced last year, is reportedly being developed for the current Switch and will be playable on Switch 2 through backward compatibility.
The Pokémon Company and Game Freak are known for releasing Pokémon games on older hardware before transitioning to new systems, as seen with past releases.
Fans have expressed disappointment, hoping the game would be optimized for the Switch 2 to address performance issues seen in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.
The event is also expected to reveal more details about Pokémon Legends: Z-A, including its setting in Lumiose City and the return of Mega Evolutions.
