The Pokemon Presents event has officially revealed that its upcoming show will kick off with a special pre-show featuring Pikachu as a DJ, a detail highlighted in a recent promotional image. A few days ago, the event teased a mysterious image of Pikachu near DJ equipment, leading fans to speculate about its meaning.

Among the various theories circulating, one popular idea suggested that the monochromatic nature of the image hinted at possible updates regarding the Pokemon Black and White remakes. However, it turns out the event will focus on the franchise’s music instead.

Following the anticipation on social media, Pokemon clarified that the cryptic image was simply an advertisement for a pre-show called “Everyone Gather! DJ Pikachu Live!” This warm-up act is expected to feature Pikachu and likely also include Chikorita, although further details are still awaited.

DJ Pokemon Might Resonate with Fan Favorites

It seems very likely that DJ Pikachu will tap into the extensive collection of iconic music associated with the Pokemon series during the live performance, potentially reviving classic themes and even remixing them. Once the DJ’s set concludes, the main event will commence, which fans hope will introduce updates on games like Pokemon Champions and Pokemon Legends: Z-A, especially with the latter’s release date fast approaching in October.

This exciting pre-show is set to begin on July 22 at 5 AM PDT, just one hour before the main event at 6 AM PDT. Fans eager not to miss DJ Pikachu’s entertaining musical set, along with the main event updates, are encouraged to switch on notifications at the YouTube stream link.
