Photos of a Jigglypuff Bluetooth speaker have leaked online, but its potential release date has Pokémon fans worried the whole thing is a hoax.
Pokémon has been a part of many of our lives since the late 1990s. During the last two decades, Pokémon has become the highest-grossing entertainment franchise of all time, generating an almost unfathomable $95 billion. That’s more than rival franchises, such as Star Wars, the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and even its Nintendo running buddy, Mario.
One of the main reasons why Pokémon has managed to make so much money in that time is due to the fact that the franchise has put its name and many character likenesses onto anything and everything. This includes video games, trading cards, TV shows, movies, soft toys, and that really is just the tip of the iceberg. We thought we had seen a Pokémon plastered onto almost everything, and then some leaked photos introduced us to a brand new Pokémon product.

And upon learning that it exists, we can’t help but wonder how or why no one has ever thought of it before. ThinkGeek filed the photos of a Jigglypuff Bluetooth speaker with the Federal Communications Commission, which were spotted by The Verge. There was no mention of Jigglypuff’s name, but as you can see from the photos, the speaker has definitely been sculpted in the form of the singing Pokémon.
There is one issue with the leaks, though, and it’s not the fact that the Jigglypuff speaker looks as if it is being held hostage in an abandoned warehouse. It’s the release date being flaunted by Australian company EBGames: April 1, 2020. That’s right, April Fool’s Day. What’s more, the company behind the speaker, ThinkGeek, has a reputation for creating fake products for April 1. However, sometimes the biggest prank of all is that the joke products are actually real.
When it comes to the Jigglypuff Bluetooth speaker, we hope that it is one of ThinkGeek’s double swerves, or that it is not a swerve at all. That’s despite the unusually high price point being advertised on EBGames — $48 AU, which is roughly $33 USD. Although that’s a little much for what is nothing more than a novelty speaker, you can bet that we will be buying a Jigglypuff speaker if and when they are released on April 1.
