In a tongue-in-cheek post on X, Apple CEO Tim Cook shared a video showing Pikachu running around Apple Park during a visit from the Pokémon team. Cook joked that the day’s agenda was to introduce the Pokémon team to incoming CEO John Ternus, talk gaming, and politely ask Pikachu to stay out of the pond. Two out of three were accomplished.

The video shows Pikachu wandering around Apple Park, trying to reach for an apple under an apple tree, before making its way toward the pond. He’s then joined by Cook, Ternus, and The Pokémon Company CEO Tsunekazu Ishihara. Although neither Apple nor The Pokémon Company has released more specific details about the visit, the video is fun and worth 30 seconds.

Apple’s meeting with The Pokémon Company comes just weeks after Sensor Tower reported that mobile gaming revenue declined 4.5% year over year in Q2 2026. Apple acknowledged weaker mobile gaming performance has begun to weigh on App Store growth, with CFO Kevan Parekh citing headwinds in mobile gaming during its Q3 2026 earnings call.
