Hidden Pokémon Easter Egg Discovered 27 Years Later

Pokémon fans are delightfully surprised as a long-hidden secret Easter egg has been uncovered in the original Pokémon Red and Green games after 27 years. Junichi Masuda, co-founder of Game Freak, accidentally revealed that the Pokémon franchise was born on July 5, accompanied by a photo of the office where it all began. This discovery has left fans amazed, as it turns out that the date of Pokémon's conception has been hidden in the games all along.

Deep within the Pokémon Mansion on Cinnabar Island, a book in Pokémon Red and Green reveals that researchers discovered the legendary Pokémon Mew on July 5. This clever reference to the creation of Pokémon as an idea has remained unnoticed by players until now, adding a new layer of fascination to the games.

The significance of this Easter egg lies in Mew's status as the ancestor of all Pokémon, making it the perfect symbol for the birth of the series. It serves as a reminder that even in old games, there may still be hidden surprises waiting to be discovered, no matter how long it has been since their release.

Looking ahead to Pokémon's future, 2023 holds exciting prospects for fans. The first expansion for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet is on the horizon, with the second part set to release in the winter. Additionally, a new Detective Pikachu game is in development, promising a fresh mystery for players to unravel. Let's hope we won't have to wait another 27 years to uncover its secrets.
