Hold onto your hats Pikachu fans!
Development on a new Pokémon game, featuring Pikachu, began this summer, according to The Pokémon Company CEO Tsunekazu Ishihara.
The Pokémon franchise’s most iconic character has had a few starring roles in the past in titles, such as Pokémon Yellow Version and Hey You, Pikachu, and we’re long past due for another. Since Ishihara has expressed some concern that Pikachu’s fame might be damaged if the company doesn’t produce a good title, fans hopefully have something to look forward to.
No details on an anticipated release date or platform have surfaced yet, but the producer did shed some light on the story, describing it as being about a boy using “playfulness” to take on the world.
