Pokemon seems to be currently slated for 2030 but depending on the EU situation perhaps it can be fast tracked for 2028. In either situation closing in 2025 is way too early. Universal is much faster at building than Disney and can build whole lands in just two years.
ThemeParkParker says he's a troll that might be sometimes right with what he posts. He even has a pinned tweet/thread for the times he is indeed right. It's not that big unsurprisingly:
Springfield (and/or Supercharged, and/or Fallon, and/or Fear Factor, etc.) can't be replaced soon enough.
USF needs a lot more than just an HRRR replacement before 2030.

Someone speculated over on WDWMagic the reason why it appears any meaning USF additions like Pokemon aren't happening sooner is due to Comcast's current cash flow situation. IIRC the specific things this poster mentioned were EU already being expensive and going way over budget due to COVID and Peacock losing tons of money as well.
