Ahead of the highly anticipatedPokemon Presentslivestream on July 22, The Pokemon Company has unveiled a rather peculiar teaser image, showing Pikachu standing in front of some DJ decks. Fans have spent the last few weeks speculating about what the event will hold, with thePokemonseries likely set to experience yet another major boost with upcoming titles on the Nintendo Switch 2.
Thenext Pokemon Presents event, a livestream containing franchise news and updates, will take place on July 22 at 6 AM PT / 9 AM ET. With the recent release of the Switch 2, fans are eager to hear more about upcoming entries in the long-running series, including October’sPokemon Legends: Z-A, the mysterious battle simulatorPokemon Champions, and a potential glimpse at Gen 10. While much of the event’s content remains unclear, a new teaser image shared by The Pokemon Company has the community talking, as it’s not something many expected to see.
Curiously, The Pokemon Company took to its social media channels to share a somewhat dark image of Pikachu near some DJ equipment, prompting many in the fandom to speculate about its meaning. While updates regardingPokemon Legends: Z-A’s releaseand some information about upcomingPokemon GOcontent both seem to be likely, it’s unclear what this odd picture could be in reference to. Some fans in the comments believe thatPokemonmusic could be coming to the Nintendo Music App, while others point out that everything in the image is black and white except for Pikachu, perhaps hinting at the long-rumoredPokemon Black and Whiteremakes. Less likely is aPokemonrhythm game, or the return toPokemon ChannelorHey You, Pikachu, though many in the community are still keeping their fingers crossed for something on the unexpected side.
