You've all seen those 3D screen billboards on socials right?
Starting tomorrow until September 5th, at Shinjuku Station in Tokyo there will be a Pokémon themed ones to celebrate World Cat day and promote Pokémon GO

@JoeMerrick
Oh my gosh guys, the colour of the rug!
Is this a hint??
(No)
53
@JoeMerrick
Oh my gosh, that Deoxys card!

@JoeMerrick
Since Pokémon games became simultaneous worldwide launch, at 50 days before a new generation, we knew of
XY: 29 Pokémon, 7 Megas
SM: 46 Pokémon, 10 Regional
SWSH: 20 New Pokémon, 3 Regional
SV: 16 New Pokémon, 1 Regional
How does everyone feel about the show less approach?
55
@JoeMerrick
Well, we did it
Serebii just had its biggest day on record, beating the peak from Sword & Shield with well over 3 million visitors as per the site's stat system
That's wild. I honestly thought we'd never break it. Thank you so much and I hope the site continues to help!

@JoeMerrick
This Lucario card though
57
@JoeMerrick
Ahhh it's almost time

@JoeMerrick
Pidgeot is remembered again

@JoeMerrick
Seeing people go nuts about Pokémon X & Y's trademarks getting renewed...
This is just the 10 year mark for trademark renewal. Don't look too much into it.

@JoeMerrick
This includes another set of cards showing a trainer through their journey

@JoeMerrick
So, recently people discovered that more Pokémon than just Water-types can swim. However, there's a functionality with these mechanics: Auto Battle
As such, I went through every Pokémon and form and documented its water mechanics
Check it out serebii.net/scarletviolet/…

@JoeMerrick
The fact I'm seeing lots of people claim we're never getting a patch because the game sold well is absurd.
Come on. Use your heads.
This is the same logic people had of "Games won't change" after SWSH sold well, and Legends & SV are the biggest departure from the previous norm
63
@JoeMerrick
Basically it seems from the reviews that the game is great, pushes Pokémon to new limits, but is let down by some technical performance issues.
64
@JoeMerrick
Fun fact
The newly revealed Deoxys VMAX card is the first Pokémon TCG card featuring a Dynamaxed Pokémon that can't actually Dynamax within Pokémon Sword & Shield as Deoxys is not available in that game
65
@JoeMerrick
It's quite sad seeing this saga come to an end

@JoeMerrick
Like seriously. This set.
69
@JoeMerrick
Gosh the newly revealed cards for the coming set in Japan are stunning
70
@JoeMerrick
Splatoon 3 selling almost 3 and a half million in Japan alone in three days is nuts. Even Pokémon has never reached that number in that timeframe.
Very impressive
71
@JoeMerrick
I swear if this leads up to a 24 hour livestream in a forest...
72
@JoeMerrick
Guys I saw these in a shop today. Think it means we will get news soon?
:P
73
@JoeMerrick
The first Lechonk, Pawmi and Smoliv plush are coming to the Pokémon Center in Japan next week

@JoeMerrick
Card artwork for the Pokémon TCG really is hitting great levels of late
75
@JoeMerrick
Put in my Empoleon from my original Diamond & Pearl coverage playthrough back in 2006 and have the certificate to commemorate it being in BDSP
Meant to get this yesterday but didn't get round to it
