Pokemon Smash, one of the Japanese only television shows linked to the franchise, has teased an important announcement for next week, saying that it will offer information on an entirely new product.

Recently, Gamefreak and Nintendo have used the television show to reveal the existence of Pokemon Black & White 2, the sequel pair of games that is set to be launched on the Nintendo DS in Japan during June of this year.

Of course, there’s a chance that the Pokemon Smash announcement will not be linked to a new video game in the series.

Fans of the Pokemon video games have questioned why no title using the characters has yet been announced for the new Nintendo 3DS handheld or for the Wii U console, which is also set to be launched this year.

Pokemon is one of the biggest franchises in the world of video games and each core release in the series sells millions of copies, most of them on the Japanese market.
