Japanese exposition in vague tease thriller.

Next month's Jump Festa in Japan will be celebrating the first appearance of the Pokémon franchise at the expo, and it looks as though fans might be in for a special treat.

In the latest edition of Jump's official magazine, the company promised that Jump Festa would provide a "big surprise" at the Pokémon booth.

Naturally, you'd expect the event organiser to be doing what it can to generate anticipation, but it's been a particularly busy year for Pokémon announcements, so it would be unwise to rule anything out.

Jump Festa starts on December 17th, so we've got a short while to wait yet. Speculation is already rife and varied as to what this revelation could be - what are you hoping for?
