Pokémon Company posts third numbered image, hinting at countdown to November 30
The latest post shows Teddiursa with the number 676, following Goodra at 843 and Bulbasaur at 1025; Serebii's Joe Merrick spotted the pattern.
The Pokémon Company's Japanese social media accounts have posted a third numbered image featuring a Pokémon, adding weight to what appears to be an hourly countdown set to end around 9 a.m. on November 30, 2026. The latest post showed Teddiursa alongside the number 676 and Japanese text translating to "Continue with Pokémon."
An earlier post featured Goodra with the number 843, and before that a 30th anniversary Bulbasaur image carried the number 1025. Joe Merrick, founder of the Pokémon news site Serebii, spotted the pattern and noted that the time between posts matched the difference between the posted numbers, according to Kotaku.
The Pokémon Company has not confirmed what, if anything, the posts are counting towards. Kotaku's report speculates that the sequence could lead to a new Pokémon Presents presentation.
