The little music player is palm-sized and can be loaded up with 45 different cartridges, each featuring a different melody or sound effect from the original games' soundtrack. The device was announced by longtime series composer Junichi Masuda during today's anniversary Pokémon Presents livestream, where he said that special care has gone into the audio sounding like it did on the Game Boy.
Now, if you were a small child when the games first came out, and have since evolved into a joyous, queer individual, or you're playing them for the first time and want to inject your team with some big gay energy, we've thought up the perfect team for you.
It's officially Pokémon week. On Friday, the monster-taming series will celebrate its 30th anniversary with a livestream discussing new projects and likely revealing the next games. As part of the marketing campaign, The Pokémon Company has been leaning into the idea that every Pokémon is someone's favorite, and as such, it's releasing commemorative 30th anniversary logos for every single one of these little guys.
Lady Gaga, Blackpink singer Jisoo and comic Trevor Noah are among the celebrities revealing their all-time favourite Pokémon as part of the Japanese media franchise's 30th birthday celebrations. In a minute-long advert that played during last night's (8 February) Super Bowl 60, singing sensation Lady Gaga declared that, unsurprisingly, her favourite Pokémon is fellow singing sensation, Jigglypuff. "She has a 12 octave vocal range," Gaga explained, adding: "Jigglypuff is my favourite." Gaga was then joined by the cutesy pink creature for a brief duet, in which the pair sang the Pokémon's name in unison. "She uses her voice to protect herself," Gaga added.
