A while ago,Nintendohit us withone of their many teasersfor upcoming content. This time around: it’s Pikachu, head tilted, looking at a DJ’s turntables in a darkened room. Very mysterious. Slightly ominous.
But we need not fear the darkened table. Answers are here! Fresh off the heels oftrying to steal your Big Mac, Pikachu’s gonna give us some funky beats to hype up the next Pokemon Presents.
This information was revealed in an official post on X, showing off some extra art as a treat.
The performance will be called “Everyone Gather! DJ Pikachu Live”, and it’s exactly what it sounds like.
Wanna See DJ Pikachu Live? You Probably Can!
While this pre-show will be intended for the Japanese broadcast of this latest Pokemon Presents show (thanks,NintendoSoup), there’s nothing actually stopping English-speaking fans from seeing the stream - it’s a global broadcast, after all. Isn’t technology wonderful?
This is all scheduled to release tomorrow, July 22nd. Hosted on Youtube, it’s got a typical time of 9am ET, 6am PT, and countless reaction/analysis fan reuploads scheduled for seconds after the show ends. So even if you miss the broadcast, you’re able to get your juicy intel whenever you like.
