One of the officialPokémonsocial media accounts has posted a teaser ahead of the Pokémon Presents event, and if this image hints at what some fans think it is, the show is going to be exciting. ThePokémon Presents eventis scheduled for next week, and this new image could be a tease of numerous things in store for the future ofPokémon.
A teaser post from the officialPokémon Japanese account(text in Japanese) shared a picture ofPikachu looking at what appears to be a DJ stationor something music-related and confirmed that details will be revealed during the “Pokémon Presents” presentation on July 22. In a Reddit thread byRyu-Review, fans are discussing the image and what it could possibly mean. A lot of fans are confused, and some have suggested this could be a newPokémongame announcement.
Pokémon Presents Tease Sure Looks Like A Rhythm Game
The image shows Pikachu in front of what looks to be a DJ turntable station, with two speakers on the sides. The roughly translated caption from the post reads:“It seems like Pikachu is preparing something…? Stay tuned for more updates!“This hint seems to be implying something music-related for this announcement, which wouldn’t be unprecedented for the series. Back in 2021, The Pokémon Company teamed up with artists forPokémon 25: The Album, but this could be a tease with broader appeal, like a rhythm game.
On Reddit,ScribbleMonkethinks they have figured out thatthe image is indeed two turntablesand posted a link to a simpler version of one.Daft_Derekposits the image is not a hint at a game, but possiblyPokémonmusic coming to the Nintendo music app. It’s worth noting, though, that somePokémonmusic is already available on that app, so an announcement about that may be unlikely.
Pokémon Deserves A Rhythm Game
The Pokémon Series Has Amazing Music
Pokémon Legends: Z-Ais releasing in Octoberas the next major installment in the series, butPokémonis one of the most popular and profitable franchises in the world, so it would be neat to see something like a rhythm game be announced. With the Nintendo Switch 2 offering a built-in microphone, gyro motion controls, and the new mouse functionality,a rhythm game seems like a perfect fit for the console.
With the Pokémon Presents event just a week away, and in light of the “stay tuned” message from the official Pokémon account, we’ll likely get confirmation of what this image is teasing during the show. Hopefully, fans will be satisfied with whatever this newPokémonimage is teasing when more information is released on July 22.
