Mysterious Pokemon Video Teases Reveal for Next Week

"Is something happening?"

By Alex Osborn

The Pokemon Company has released a mysterious new video teasing a reveal for July 19.

Check out the teaser, which includes some of the strangest footage from previous Pokemon titles, below:

As noted by Polygon, the video includes footage from Pokemon Platinum, Pokemon HeartGold and Soul Silver, and Pokemon Sun and Moon. While in Japanese, the video's title can be translated to read: "Pokemon Mystery File: A world of Pokemon you don't know."

Several mysterious questions appear throughout the video, including: "Is this a time slip? Is it manipulating time? It came from the moon? Is it a space virus? Is this an encounter with aliens?" The cryptic messages continue with: "The battle with the alien invader has begun! Is this the underside of this world? Is this a puzzle of ancient relics? Is this an attack from a parallel universe? Is it possessing humans?"

At the end of the video, a group of Unown appear on screen, spelling out the message: "Is something happening?"

An accompanying teaser page can be found on the official Pokemon Japanese website, which features art of alien creatures, as well as the extradimensional Ultra Beasts from Pokemon Sun and Moon.

While you patiently await the reveal on July 19, check out our detailed look at the possible origins Necrozma, the third Legendary Pokemon of Sun and Moon, who will likely play a major role in Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon.
