\u201cThe new Pok\u00e9mon game will be called Pok\u00e9mon Let\u2019s Go Pikachu and Pok\u00e9mon Let\u2019s Go Eevee!\u201d \u201cNintendo will reveal this Pok\u00e9mon to Switch next week!\u201d \u201cThis is the logo!\u201d \u201cIt will be a remake of Pok\u00e9mon Yellow!\u201d \u201cThere will be elements of Pok\u00e9mon Go!\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

The Pok\u00e9mon community is freaking out over the latest rumors. But where are they coming from? Can you trust any of them? And, by the way, what is really Pok\u00e9mon Let\u2019s Go? Below, we\u2019ll go over the strongest evidence of this game’s existence and gradually reveal what it is\u2026 or at least what it could be. <\/span><\/p>\n

Registered domains<\/b><\/h3>\n

The strongest evidence came out on May 16, 2018. Fans discovered that web domains for pokemonletsgoeevee.com<\/strong> and pokemonletsgopikachu.com<\/strong> had been registered. The registration took place on May 15, exactly when the rumors exploded.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

If you check it out, the owner of the two domain registrations is CSC Corporate Domains, Inc. This same company registered pokemon.com<\/strong> back in the day and also domains for Pok\u00e9mon Sun and Moon for Nintendo. This is important because it’s not just\u00a0 some fan-troll registering these domains. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat a coincidence. On the 15th, people start talking about the new Pok\u00e9mon game and suddenly Nintendo decides to register domains. Why didn\u2019t they register them before?\u201d<\/em> you may be thinking.<\/span><\/p>\n

Something similar happened in 2016, when rumors started popping up about Pok\u00e9mon Sun and Moon. Nintendo registered the domains and literally revealed the games the next day. It\u2019s possible that the Great N delays registration to avoid raising suspicion and, when evitable leaks happen, they register the domains to prevent some clown from taking them. <\/span><\/p>\n

Does this mean we\u2019ll see an official announcement about Pok\u00e9mon Let\u2019s Go Pikachu \/ Eevee soon? Leaker Emily Rogers posted in the ResetERA forums that the reveal could take place next week but she doesn\u2019t rule out Nintendo making the announcement earlier due to leaks. <\/span><\/p>\n

The first image of the game<\/b><\/h3>\n

Last month, in April, the Twitter account @pixelpar, another specialist in leaks, posted an image of what the new Pok\u00e9mon game for Nintendo Switch could be.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

At first, nobody believed the image. But now it\u2019s taken on new relevance for two reasons. The first is that the trainer has an Eevee over his head.<\/strong> The second reason is that some fans have realized that this photo shows a recreation of Route 21 from Pok\u00e9mon \u00a0Blue \/ Red \/ Yellow.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Since the image was revealed before the rumors that Eevee would be one of the important Pok\u00e9mon and before the return to Kanto, the evidence is undeniably authentic and shows the game in action. Now, whether it\u2019s an image from the final version of the game or from its early development is another matter. <\/span><\/p>\n

Clues from Game Freak<\/b><\/h3>\n

Some of the most important clues were in plain sight this whole time, but we didn\u2019t realize it until now. <\/span><\/p>\n

Junichi Masuda, the director of Game Freak, the developer behind Pok\u00e9mon, had been suggesting the content of the next game for days. Check out his latest tweets:<\/span><\/p>\n
