Sure, here’s the re-written article:

Okay, so we all know Pokemon, right? Like, who hasn’t heard of it? I remember when Pokemon Red and Blue (or was it Green in Japan?) dropped in 1998 here in the US. Boom, instant obsession—Pokemania everywhere. Honestly, it’s wild how it’s turned into the highest-grossing media franchise globally. Even when Pokemon Scarlet and Violet stumbled with tech hiccups, people were still all over it, grabbing over 26 million copies on the Nintendo Switch.
And now? Pokemon’s got eyes on the Nintendo Switch 2. Like, pretty big eyes. We’ve got Pokemon Legends: Z-A coming in October. This does a little dance back to Kalos—remember that from Pokemon X and Y in 2013? Ahh, nostalgia, right? It’s shaping up to be one of those can’t-miss games. Not joking, it might just be the start of a fresh wave of Pokemon adventures on the new console.
Oh, quick side note—I was reading (or maybe half-reading) about how the Switch 2 might have this microphone thing. Maybe they’ll resurrect Hey You, Pikachu from the Nintendo 64 days? Yep, that voice command game. At the time, I thought it was kinda strange. Fun, but also strange. There are whispers—like actual rumors—that they might announce a sequel at the upcoming Pokemon Presents on July 22. Pikachu in front of speakers, DJ-style? What?
Honestly, if they revive Hey You, Pikachu, I wouldn’t even be mad. The original had this quirky mic that wasn’t great at, well, hearing you. But bro, imagine that mixed with today’s voice tech—not to mention the Switch 2’s mic? It’s got potential. I mean, look at what they did with New Pokemon Snap. Decades later and it was like, “Hey, here’s how you do it right!” Could be magic.
But, hold up—don’t pin all your hopes there. Some folks think it might be something like Pokemon Drum and Bass (which sounds kinda epic, not gonna lie) or maybe just new tunes on Nintendo Music app. Who knows? We might be in for other surprises, too, like different quirky spin-offs. Kirby, Zelda, even Splatoon—they’ve got some wild stuff coming. Total feast if you’re into it.
Alright, end of my rant. Just one Pokemon fan dreaming out loud. Or maybe just rambling. Anyway, let’s see what happens.
