Description:
Nothing teases something with a pixelated Pokmon

FULL STORY
======================================================================Nothing 
has posted a Pokmon image on its X account This particular character is 
Arcanine New phones are expected soon 

Nothing is up to something. The firm is well know for its use of weird teaser 
images to generate excitement ahead of new product announcements, and the 
latest one has just dropped. 

For the benefit of anyone who isn't familiar with the Pokmon codex, it's a 
pixelated image of Arcanine. It's surprising to see an image of a Pokmon, 
given the aggressively protective nature of The Pokmon Company and its 
partner, Nintendo  so perhaps this indicates an official tie-up between the 
two companies. The excellent Nothing Ear (a) are already available in a 
Pikachu-like yellow, so perhaps an Arcanine-like orange is coming. 

Or perhaps what's more significant is either the number contained in 
Arcanine's name, or the number of its place in the Pokdex. What do the 
internet detectives think of Nothing's teaser? 

Over at GSM Arena , they're suggesting that the nine in Arcanine's name could 
suggest a product announcement on the 9th of February. Or perhaps its Pokdex 
number, 58, is the clue. The 58th day of the year would also be in February, 
albeit a bit later on February 27. 

That's the possible whens. As for the what, the smart money appears to be on 
the Nothing Phone (3) or one of the other two Nothing phones expected to 
launch by mid-2025  with or without Pokmon collaboration. 

The (3) seems to be the most likely one. A leaked internal memo said that the 
firm was planning to launch a "landmark" AI-powered smartphone in the first 
quarter of 2025, which fits with a February announcement  although previously 
we'd expected a launch at MWC 2025 in March. 

That's the thing about teasers. You can make them mean almost anything, but 
by their very nature they reveal nothing. Or in this case, nothing about 
Nothing. You might also like Our review of the Nothing Phone 2a Plus Leaked
