Pokémon Presents Livestream Teases Musical Surprise, Not Just Legends Z-A
▼ Summary
– The Pokémon Company announced a Pokémon Presents livestream on 22nd July, teasing Pikachu with a DJ deck.
– The stream will air at 9pm JST, with no confirmed content but speculation around music-related announcements.
– Pikachu has previously appeared as a DJ at Universal Studios Japan, but no music-focused Pokémon games exist.
– Possible reveals include a new music-themed Pokémon game or a Pokémon music service, following Nintendo’s music app launch.
– Alternatively, the teaser may be unrelated to music, potentially featuring updates on Pokémon Legends Z-A.
Fans of the Pokémon franchise have something exciting to look forward to this month. The Pokémon Company recently announced a special Pokémon Presents livestream scheduled for July 22nd, accompanied by a cryptic teaser featuring Pikachu posing in front of what looks like a DJ setup.
The broadcast will go live at 9pm JST, translating to 5am PDT, 8am EDT, 1pm GMT, and 2pm CEST. While details remain under wraps, the teaser image strongly hints at a music-themed announcement, possibly a new game or digital service.
Interestingly, this wouldn’t be Pikachu’s first foray into DJing. The iconic Electric-type previously took center stage alongside Gengar during a Universal Studios Japan Halloween event, where both sported DJ gear. However, the franchise has yet to release a dedicated music game, nor have these characters appeared as DJs in the trading card series.
So, what could this teaser mean? Speculation points toward two main possibilities. The first, and more ambitious, theory suggests a brand-new Pokémon rhythm game might debut during the livestream. Alternatively, fans could see the launch of a Pokémon music platform, especially considering Nintendo’s recent venture into music apps last October. Given the series’ history of memorable soundtracks, either option seems plausible.
Of course, there’s always a chance the DJ imagery is a red herring. With Pokémon Legends Z-A confirmed as the next major release, the livestream might instead showcase fresh updates for the highly anticipated title. Whatever the case, fans won’t want to miss tuning in to uncover the surprises in store.
