The Pokémon Company released information about 「ジャンプフェスタ」 Jump Festa on their website today, confirming that they will be making a surprise announcement. They also stated they will deliver the latest "in Pokémon games and goodies," possibly implying a game announcement at the event.
In late November, Weekly Jump magazine reported that Pokémon would be making a surprise announcement at Jump Festa, which takes place Dec. 17 and 18 in Tokyo, but gave no hints as to what the subject matter would be. This caused heated speculation from several Pokémon fans, including those on the Bulbagarden Forums. With the recent announcement of a fifteenth movie featuring Kyurem, this is likely to increase speculation that a sister game to Pokémon Black and White Versions, commonly referred to as "Pokémon Gray" by fans, will be announced.
The announcement also advertised the pre-order for Pokémon Battle Chess. It has been said that Pokémon Battle Chess as well as Poképark 2 are going to be showcased at the event.
In September, The Pokémon Company revealed that it would be attending Jump Festa for the first time. Jump Festa is an annual event that is a common platform for the announcement of new anime, manga, movies, and video games. It is hosted by Shuiesha, a major publisher in Japan. Shogakukan, the founder of Shuiesha, is known for various Pokémon manga, such as Pokémon Adventures.
