It looks like we will soon be getting another Pokemon game for smartphones. According to an investor brief posted on Twitter by Takashi Mochizuki, the developers, DeNA will work with The Pokemon Company to launch a new mobile game this fiscal year, possibly 2020. However, details about the game are still not yet known, but it is noted that information for the same would be announced “later.”

DeNA already has considerable experience in working with Nintendo to launch mobile games based on its intellectual properties. The developer has already launched games such as Super Mario Run, Fire Emblem Heroes, Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp and more. DeNA is also developing a mobile version of the popular Mario Kart racing franchise, called Mario Kart Tour.
Of course, this isn’t the first time that Pokemon would make their way to smartphones. Pokemon Go became a phenomenon a few years ago which players the world over going crazy catching virtual creatures. However, the popularity of the game died down within a few months. Regardless, developer Niantic has been releasing updates for the game pretty regularly.
Speaking of Pokemon. The new Detective Pikachu movie has just hit theaters, but not before the movie’s lead actor, Ryan Renolds and Warner Brothers decided to troll those looking for pirated copies. A few days ago, a ‘leaked’ copy of the movie was posted on YouTube, complete with a watermark of the person who leaked it… Which in this case was apparently Renolds himself. The video was nothing more than Pikachu dancing non-stop for over an hour. Well played sir… well played.
