Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire footage shared by the official Japanese Pokémon account has sparked fresh speculation of a new Nintendo Switch release.

What we know so far

Automatic note by LuaCat Games, built from what we know about the coverage (who reported it, how many sites, the story’s history) — not a translation or copy of the source.

The platforms named are Nintendo Switch. So far only IGN has run it, but that's a newsroom that checks what it publishes. Pokémon came out in 1996 and never left: that's 30 years of turning up in every conversation about it. In the 30 days before this one, 43 other Pokémon stories ran here.

Bottom line: You can treat this as firm, just keep an eye on updates.
