<p>It’s not even a week since the February Nintendo Direct dropped and finally kickstarted 2019 for Nintendo fans. Of course, the world of video games is fast-moving, and we all knew it wouldn’t be long before the rumour mill began creaking and moving again.</p>
<p>Our friends over at <a href="https://nintendosoup.com/leaker-who-predicted-all-feb-13-direct-titles-correctly-says-pokemon-switch-news-is-coming-soon/">NintendoSoup</a> have noticed that <a href="https://twitter.com/muguwus/status/1098097825768980480">@muguwus</a>, a Twitter user who predicted a whole bunch of last week’s Direct has posted this enigmatic missive:</p>
<aside class="object object-tweet">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p><span lang="et" dir="ltr">Pokemon soon.</span>— Mug (@muguwus) <a href="https://twitter.com/muguwus/status/1098097825768980480?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 20, 2019</a></p></blockquote>

<p>Not the loquacious sort, it seems. While truckloads of salt are required with most things found on the internet, Pokémon Day – the anniversary of the series’ launch in Japan back in 1996 – is coming up on 27th February. This mysterious tipster also accurately called a long list of games from the Direct, almost as if they’d seen the video before the broadcast:</p>

<p>Whether this rumour turns out to have substance or not, the absence of news in the last Direct coupled with the upcoming anniversary means it doesn’t take a Sherlock to foresee a <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/nintendo-switch/pokemon">Pokémon Switch</a></strong> announcement on the horizon.</p>
