The anticipation in the Pokémon community is peaking as the Pokémon Company prepares for its next Pokémon Presents livestream on August 8. This event marks the first Pokémon Presents - known to some as Pokémon Direct following Nintendo's terminology - in quite some time.
The broadcast did more than merely pique the interest of the fans. An intriguing teaser has set off speculation among fans. In this unusual preview, the "M" in the "Pokémon" logo glitches, briefly duplicating and turning purple. Theories abound regarding what this unusual visual cue could mean, with some fans pointing towards Mewtwo, particularly considering that August 8 is also celebrated as International Cat Day.
In addition to the excitement surrounding the mysterious glitch, fans are eagerly waiting for updates on several upcoming releases. Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, the latest mainline games for the Nintendo Switch, have expansions in the pipeline that were announced earlier this year. The Teal Mask and The Indigo Disk promise to bring a breath of fresh air to the gameplay, introducing five new Pokémon and leading players through new quests and narratives.
The Teal Mask, the first part of the two-part expansion, is expected to release this fall, whisking players away on an out-of-town school trip to unravel the mysteries behind Kitakami's local folklore. The Indigo Disk, the second part, scheduled for this winter, puts players in the shoes of an exchange student exploring the enigmatic Blueberry Academy. Both parts will enrich the game with older Pokémon such as Milotic, Ninetales, Shiftry, Metagross, Seel, and Alcremie - species not found in the original Paldea region.
