The Pokemon Company and Snap Inc. have partnered on a custom Pikachu Snapchat Lens. Those who use the app as of today can use the Lens to see Pikachu’s ears, nose, and bright-red cheeks appear over their face. Users can then open their mouth to hear Pikachu’s iconic voice as it jumps onto the screen and strikes a pose.

The Snapchat Lens will only be available for a limited time. The Pokemon Company did not provide a specific end date, however.

The ARMS Twitter account just posted another update containing the image above. It certainly looks like a new stage, doesn’t it?

The tweet has Biff talking about being on vacation and hearing that there is a fighter around here. He also mentions the sweet scent and exoticism in the air.

Everything points to this being related to a new fighter, who will likely be accompanied by a new stage as well. It does line up with what we heard from the datamine last week.
