Update: The Oha Suta website has now changed the description of Thursday’s episode to “full of Pokemon information”. This sounds intentionally vague, so we will have to wait and see what this means. Perhaps their intent is to lower expectations since many people are expecting a proper reveal of a Pokemon game on Switch from this.

Original: Oha Suta, a Japanese variety game show, is set to show some pretty “shocking” Pokemon news May 31st. The episode is listed as “a moment a new story begins”. This kind of seems to want to play on the idea of electric Pokemon, but we’ll have to wait and see.
