@JoeMerrick
Lets talk about Pokémon event distributions, again.
I've seen a lot of discourse over these simple ingredient gifts, often comparing to Mythical distributions in the past and showing how "bad" things have got. This is a false equivalency;
We are just three weeks into the game.

@JoeMerrick
Ah yes, BDSP
Really, of all the Pokémon games, it certainly is a main series title. twitter.com/SerebiiOTD/sta…

@JoeMerrick
Scarlet & Violet sold another 277,000 retail units in Japan alone last week. This game is unstoppable
111
@JoeMerrick
Also Hop is finally appearing in the anime as well

@JoeMerrick
To clarify, yes Wiglett's Japanese name is ウミディグダ (Umidigda)
Digda is Diglett's Japanese name
Umi is Japanese for Sea
Its name in Japanese is basically SeaDiglett

@JoeMerrick
Hisuian Arcanine, Hisuian Sneasel, Ursaluna and Sneasler plush are coming soon to the Pokémon Center

@JoeMerrick
Since Pokkén Tournament is leaving competitive Pokémon, I think a certain game should get a sequel and a competitive arm
I want a Pokémon Magikarp Jump Championship Series

@JoeMerrick
Gosh I missed one

@JoeMerrick
Fidough was too much of a good boy for the Serebii servers. Things are being a bit slow. Please stand by

@JoeMerrick
So here are my thoughts
Although I feel not every game needs to be open world, especially Pokémon, I am excited for an open world game. The freedom to do in any order will make things interesting for me, that's for sure haha. The Serebii Map system is ready.

@JoeMerrick
Here's proof that Alpha Pokémon keep their flag since some people doubted

@JoeMerrick
Pokémon Masters EX has added Ash in the newest update. Not a playable pair just yet but used in a coming event.
I was not expecting this

@JoeMerrick
Fun fact. The World Cap Pikachu distribution that started today in Japan has the Alola Champion ribbon on it rather than any of the Event Ribbons

@JoeMerrick
I appreciate Brassius' Sudowoodo finally becoming a tree

@JoeMerrick
With just one week remaining in the year, we can safely say:
2022 was the first year since 1997 where a new Pokémon spin-off title didn't release
123
@JoeMerrick
The most recent sales figures we have for all main series Pokémon games
Scarlet & Violet will almost certainly slow SWSH down. It's unlikely SWSH will hit RB's number. I do wonder how high SV can get though

@JoeMerrick
Oh my gosh, I think this might just confirm Sinnoh remakes twitter.com/SerebiiNet/sta…

@JoeMerrick
Totally missed that Pokémon Center Mega Tokyo and Pokémon Center Osaka recently updated their logos
