\"Milo\"<\/a><\/figure>\n

Remember the overly buff child-like gym leader featured in Nintendo’s recent Pok\u00e9mon Direct? In case you need reminding, we’re talking about the Grass-type expert named Milo, who is one of the eight leaders you’ll have to defeat on your path to the Galar Region’s Pok\u00e9mon League.<\/p>\n

Well, there appears to be a wild theory linked to this funny-looking chap currently doing the rounds. A Pok\u00e9mon fan who goes by the Twitter handle ActualAreo<\/a> believes the numbers on the back of this gym leader’s jersey are secretly referencing the date of the next Pok\u00e9mon Direct. If this is correct, the broadcast would presumably go live on the last day of August.<\/p>\n
