Pokémon 30th Anniversary Countdown Posts Appear on Social Media
The Pokémon Company is sharing anniversary icons with falling numbers, a countdown spotted by Serebii's Joe Merrick.
The Pokémon Company has begun posting images of its 30th anniversary icons on social media, each carrying a number that gets smaller with every post, according to nintendolife.com. The countdown was spotted by Joe Merrick, who operates the Pokémon news site Serebii.
The figures drop in line with the hours elapsed between posts. An image published on 18 October carried the number 1,025, the 26 October post showed 843, and the latest image carries 676.
That progression matches the gap between each posting date, with the count decreasing as the calendar advances. The Pokémon Company has not said what the countdown is leading to.
The posts are framed around 30th anniversary icon artwork rather than any announced product or event.
