Welcome back to the rumour mill, ladies and gents, it's been a while. Today's speculation is rather a fun one as people are going gaga for a piece of merchandise potentially teasing the unconfirmed Pokemon Stars.

We all know that another Pokemon game will be coming, but we don't quite know when or what. The Japanese Pokemon merchandise appeared on an official channel showing off Pikachu and Cosmog staring through a telescope at Pokemon constellations. To top that off, the tagline is: 'Look upon the stars'.

Speculations are going a little more wild on the NeoGAF forums as user sinonobu pointed out that a Pokemon Direct was removed from the list of Japanese Directs only a week before Nintendo held its April one. This could mean that we'll be hearing some Pokemon news soon, especially with this slightly non-subtle imagery.

Of course, take all of this with a pinch of salt - or a shaker full, in this case. We probably won't be getting any confirmations or denials from Nintendo any time soon.
