Get your detective caps on: Pokemon is teasing some sort of mystery Detective Pikachu announcement

It sounds like Pikachu might be getting ready to don his detective hat once more - at least in some fashion - as an official Pokemon account has teased that some exciting news might be coming this week.

As spotted by ComicBook, over on Twitter, the official Japanese Pokemon Information Bureau (@poke_times) account points out (translated by Google and DeepL) that this Friday, October 4, marks one year since the release of Detective Pikachu Returns – the Nintendo Switch sequel to the 2016 3DS game. Critics' reactions to the sequel were rather mixed – GamesRadar+'s Rollin Bishop gave it three out of five stars in his Detective Pikachu Returns review. Clearly, though, the release still marks an occasion that the company will celebrate in some way, as the account teases that there may be "some great news" on the anniversary.
