The Pokémon Company has started teasing plans to celebrate Pokémon’s 25th anniversary next year.

On Thursday, a group of Pikachu danced to the Pokémon theme song at New York City’s Herald Square as part of Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade.

After the performance, the group unveiled a large banner with the official logo for the February anniversary celebration.

“The Pokémon Company International invites fans around the world to stay tuned for more information on Pokémon’s very special 25th anniversary celebration in 2021,” the company said in a press release.

Several Pokémon games were released to coincide with the franchise’s 20th anniversary in 2016, including Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon for 3DS and Pokémon Go for iOS and Android.

Nintendo launched Pokémon Sword and Shield’s The Crown Tundra DLC for Switch in October. It’s available as part of a $ 29.99 / £ 26.99 Expansion Pass, which also grants access to Sword and Shield’s first expansion, Isle of Armor.

Together, the two expansions add over 200 Legacy Pokémon to the game. Players who do not purchase the DLC can obtain them through other means such as trading or online play.
