Nintendo have announced that a Pokemon Presents live stream will take place in August 2021, and it will feature updates on the Diamond & Pearl remakes as well as the open-world title Legends: Arceus.

Pokemon fans around the world have been waiting for updates on the Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl remakes, which will once again take Trainers back to the Sinnoh region to relive one of the greatest adventures of all time.

Fortunately, there’s not long to wait, as it’s now been confirmed that a Pokemon Presents broadcast on August 18 will reveal more information on the remakes. That’s not all, as they’ll also be talking about Pokemon Legends: Arceus!

Below, you’ll find all the information you need to watch along with the Pokemon Presents video broadcast, including start times for your region and what to expect from the stream.

How to watch Pokemon Presents August 2021 stream

Trainers can tune in to the Pokemon Presents on August 18, 2021, by visiting the official Pokemon YouTube channel or watching the livestream below when the broadcast goes live.

The presentation will also be available to watch on the Pokemon YouTube channel afterwards.

If you can’t watch the livestream, don’t fret. We’ll be posting about the Pokemon Presents broadcast over on @TrainerIntel and rounding up the most important news right here on Dexerto.

Pokemon Presents August 2021 start time

The next official Pokemon Presents broadcast will take place on Wednesday, August 18, 2021 at 6 AM PDT / 9 AM EDT / 2 PM BST.

Mark your calendars now and tune in a few minutes early to make sure you don’t miss anything!

What to expect from the Pokemon Presents stream

The main thing Trainers should expect to see during the August 2021 presentation is new footage from the Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl remakes, which are only a few months away from their November 18 release date.

Recent footage has already shown off improved graphics since the original reveal trailer, so there’s a lot of intrigue surrounding the final version. We’d expect confirmation about gameplay details, too, and whether or not it will include Platinum features.

The most exciting part of this Pokemon Presents, though, is the promise of more Pokemon Legends: Arceus updates. We don’t know that much about the open-world title yet, as it’s not scheduled to release until January 28, 2022.

Any updates on the game will be welcome, but it would be great to hear more about the scale of the world, whether it’s an ATB or traditional turn-based battle system, and the size of the Pokedex (or any potential new Pokemon).

In the meantime, check out everything we know about the Diamond & Pearl remakes, as well as all of the exclusives you’ll find in each version.
