The Pokemon Company is running a mysterious countdown on social media.

The countdown is running on the official Japanese Pokemon social media account, although it went unnoticed for quite some time. Each countdown post included a Pokemon 30th Anniversary logo along with a number, which fans eventually determined was counting down the number of hours until November 30th 2026. There is also a message in Japanese, slowly revealed to read “Continue With Pokemon” roughly translated.

Confirmation. We have a third data point

676 hours from now is 14:00 UTC on November 30th 2026.

As I predicted, they are counting down to then. What will arrive at that point, it remains a mystery but I am excited https://t.co/68gFMSOy9M

Many fans are hopeful that the countdown is for a videogame related announcement, either more news about Pokemon Winds & Waves or the remaining Pokopia DLCs. Stay tuned for all the updates as they come.
