Remember the overly buff child-like gym leader featured in Nintendo's recent Pokémon 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 Pokémon League.
Well, there appears to be a wild theory linked to this funny-looking chap currently doing the rounds. A Pokémon fan who goes by the Twitter handle ActualAreo believes the numbers on the back of this gym leader's jersey are secretly referencing the date of the next Pokémon Direct. If this is correct, the broadcast would presumably go live on the last day of August.
As Aero explains in the tweet above, the number on the back of the main character's jersey in the first Pokémon Sword and Shield trailer lines up with the date of the original Sword and Shield Direct. In the new trailer, the protagonist's jersey this time references 5th June, which matches the date of the latest Direct.
If you're still not convinced, you're not alone. Multiple Twitter users have pointed out 31st August falls on a weekend and "Nintendo never do directs on Saturdays" while others believe the numbers on Milo's jersey are more likely linked to the National Dex listing for the Grass-type Pokémon, Eldegoss.
What are your thoughts about this theory? Are you looking forward to finding out more about Sword and Shield at E3 2019? Are you a fan of the gym leader Milo? Tell us below.

I have it on good authority the next Pokemon direct will be held on October thirtynineteenth.
If it happens, cool. If not, I don't care. I just want to look at as few new Pokémon as I can because the new Pokémon are the best part of a new gen.
We might be getting more news at E3. Someone who leaked the entire Pokemon direct also shared some information that wasn't in the direct. Like how Gyms work, the regions enemy team and their objective, new story characters, new evolutions, And a bunch of other stuff I want to say but actually saying what they are would spoil the surprises.
The next Pokemon direct will be 60 fps and will announce that the game will run at 60 fps in both handheld and docked play. I wish.
Cool NL, but how does this game reference the unique underground hit comic Loss from the brave and daring comic series ALT+CNTRL+DELETE that was also referenced in PLG and found by a courageous Twitter user?
Exclusive lore leak:
Got your nose!
(leaves)
Screw up i'm going to spoil 1 thing.
LONG MEOWTH!!! Basically an Alolan Executor version of Meowth.
That is all I'm gonna say. (This is not a joke, in context it's still dumb but makes sense)
Odd they would use the NA dating system??
Probably just a coincidence TBH.
But it would be cool if it wasn't.
There might be another Pokemon Direct again just like previous Pokemon games.
@ReaderRagfish I think they were going for something like a Boy Scout Leader, or a summer camp counselor. But ya it comes off as really weird. It looks like a kid wearing a body suit.
I don't think its typical for a person to have a triple digit Jersey number, and even more is the fact that it was indeed the date of a Poke Direct, means that it could potentially be a correct theory. It would be a cute one if it does turn out to be true.
Hoping they announce that they found Milo's freaking missing nose!
....wait....MISSINGNO?! Lol
Not sure, but he does look like the Scout Master from the camp 1960’s Radioactive Man https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ge1PvqlYVLo
Wow, interesting what have seen in those numbers, however, I can also think that the last number would no longer match for a direct, especially when it is on the weekend, but, maybe,maybe...
the truth, for me, and as I said, better I wait for an official announcement of another Pokemon Direct, which will not be soon (but, of course, only CoroCoro will be giving some information every month).
All right, that about the numbers was intriguing.
Only if you read american dates (which are the wrong way round, the month should never be first)
it's prob his aces pokedex number
that would still be 2 months from now yawn
I feel like Milo is what happens when a Ditto becomes a man.
Dude one just happened, calm down.
It's definitely the release date of the games. But I shouldn't say more.
I mean, it could be a stretch but at the same time, it does feel like something Nintendo would do.
@Bunkerneath They are not the wrong way around, they are perfectly fine. You don't get to decide what's right and wrong. I'm getting sick and tired of people constantly whining about everything we do. You are not better just because you write your dates differently.
@Aquamine-Amarine : You created an account just to say that?
Lol.
It seems like a stretch, but time will tell I suppose.
gaaaaaaaahhhhh.....
LOL. His face soooooooooooooooooooooo does not match his body lol, i intially thought the photo thumb was photoshopped XDDD. DUDE looks weird asf
