As a tie-in to the upcoming TV series Pocket Monsters Best Wishes: Season 2, a twitter account has been opened under the name "The Rocket Gang Secret Empire" (ロケット団ひみつ帝国). The account is allegedly run by Sakaki himself. The twitter account description is as follows:

ロケット団のサカキだ!我々は、このtwitterを利用して広く団員を募り、世界征服に乗り出す。さあ、集えロケット団の名の下へ!キーワードは、“Poke’mon Radio show! ロケット団ひみつ帝国”だ! カントー地方·

This is a great idea! You can't say they aren't trying to shake up some things. Would be quite interesting to hear this, especially if it's about a thing we know little of as Rocket Gang.

Yesterday it was like 3000, and as of this post its 11000 so that's pretty good progress. It seems the official announcement with an actual website and a date that it is going to air has made more people follow it.

Both the twitter account and the actual site got linked to directly in the news sections of both the official Best Wishes site and the official movie site, which is probably the main reason. Some Japanese anime news sites have linked to it as well, which no doubt helped a bit too.
