Pokemon Director to Reveal New Information on Japanese TV Next Weekend

It seems that Junichi Masuda, game director from Game Freak, will be making an appearance on popular Japanese TV show Pokénchi next Sunday to talk about the upcoming Pokémon games. Pokénchi is a popular variety show airing on Sunday mornings in Japan, with the hosts coming together in a fictional house setting to talk about their love of the Pokémon franchise. While normally an odd show devoted to expressing the hosts love for the franchise with guests, the odd bit of new information has slipped out from time to time, making the show a must watch for fans.

The news to be shared is likely related to the upcoming Pokémon: Let’s Go Pikachu! And Let’s Go Eevee!, rather than the so far unnamed next instalments in the main franchise, however you never quite know what’s going to pop out in the heat of the moment. The show will be airing in it’s usual morning time slot in Japan, 8am JST Sunday (4pm PDT / 7pm EDT Saturday). Any new information will likely soon be found online.
