The Pokémon Go twitter account recently tweeted about a benign message encouraging fans to talk about their Pokémon Go memories, but hidden in the associated image is a potential tease for the launch of the fourth generation of Pokémon.

If you look closely, you can see Chimchar, Piplup, and Turtwig hanging out in the image which were the starters in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. Maybe Pokémon Fest, which is happening this weekend in Chicago, will kick off with the launch of a new generation of Pokémon? Both Andrew Reiner and Brian Shea are attending the fest this weekend, so make sure to watch the site for their coverage of the event. Hopefully it goes better than last year.

Our Take
This is a nice way to tease the next batch of Pokémon. Hopefully it is associated with Pokémon Go Fest and we will start seeing those Pokémon this weekend. I just hope they aren’t exclusive to Chicago.
