Yesterday, the rumour flood gates opened for the Pokemon games on Nintendo Switch.
Nintendo insiders as well as key Game Freak developers have been subtly teasing at the name for months, but we didn’t know this until a 4chan post leaked the logo of the game ‘Pokemon Lets’ GO!: Pikachu Edition’ and ‘Pokemon LET’S GO! Eevee Edition’.
It was at this moment that Pokemon fans started connecting the dots from photos and tweets dating back from weeks and months ago.

Junichi Masuda had seemingly been teasing the games’ cover stars and name as well. Weeks ago, he had Tweeted this photo which had a Pokeball perfectly matching the angle of the leaked logo, with Pikachu and Eevee sitting side by side.
