It sounds like The Pokemon Company is trying to squash any rumors of a new Pokemon fighter, or some kind of new game that people have been speculating about based on a recent image.

An official statement reads:

“There is nothing to announce at this time. These are merely conceptual images.”

It definitely seemed like a new Pokemon title was being teased during the Pokemon Game Show. That, and the Pokken Fighters/Pokken Tournament trademarks, point in that direction. Guess we’ll just have to wait and see how this plays out!
