Can we stop this narrative people are spreading where I said the performance issues didn't exist. I have never said that and the fact that people are spreading that's what I've been saying is just ridiculous
Me saying I've not experienced them isn't me saying that.

New merch line for Pokémon Center in Japan...
It's like they knew...

@JoeMerrick
So looks like we're getting these monthly and if they continue to be Pokémon not natively in the game, we could see Hisui Pokémon and others in it, which is a great notion
I'm glad they're continuing with this, it's a good concept twitter.com/SerebiiNet/sta…

@JoeMerrick
I both love and hate these unique reveal methods haha

@JoeMerrick
I really enjoyed the SWSH DLC. In my view it elevated Sword & Shield from a great game to amongst one of Pokémon's best and The Crown Tundra is a HUGE part of that. They managed to do the stories in an open and fun way. twitter.com/SerebiiOTD/sta…

One day we're going to have a generation of the Pokémon anime where people don't insist it's Ash's last one and that all signs are pointing to it.
135
@JoeMerrick
New generation coverage has always been a fun one.
Most of you weren't around for this but with Ruby & Sapphire's launch, we actually crashed the server we were on due to sheer load. At that point, the site didn't fund itself and so we lost the server and were down for 5 months! twitter.com/SerebiiOTD/sta…

Also this card artwork of a Smeargle photobombing Bibarel on the Bibarel card is great

@JoeMerrick
So a couple of people have pointed out something looking like a Mega Ring on one of the protagonists arms thinking it's a Mega Ring.
Just to clarify, whatever it is, it does seem to be a part of the gloves as it's on both hands.

@JoeMerrick
I doubt this will spread as far because remember the saying I'm paraphrasing
"a lie can spread around the world before the truth can even put on its shoes"
Non-story.

I love this movie so much. There's just a lot magical to it, and it's so much fun.
It's a shame there's no sign of any further live action movies. There's so much potential here. twitter.com/SerebiiOTD/sta…

Gosh this new Love Ball replica is lovely. Dive, Net and Luxury Balls are coming
The Love Ball will always have a piece of my history and heart as I proposed to Marti with a Love Ball from the Premium Bandai range.

@JoeMerrick
This whole notion that has been going around of official artwork just "tracing" models and/or sprites is some of the most absurd ragebaiting I've seen in quite a while in the Pokémon community.
We're better than this.
Stop listening to people who just want social clout.

@JoeMerrick
Really is interesting seeing people say the special in-game preorder bonuses for Scarlet/Violet are worthless or “easy to get normally” because if it was like a unique Pokémon or something like that it would then get so much hate for locking worthwhile stuff behind preorders

@JoeMerrick
So, Pokémon Stadium 1 & 2 lack connectivity with other Pokémon games on NSO, and based on my mentions, people are irate about this.
Let me explain why this is the situation and isn't an easy fix.
Simply put: The Game Boy games aren't on the Switch

Quick side tangent
They're releasing a Shiny Hisuian Zorua plush based on Hisuian Snow at the Pokémon Centers in Japan next week

@JoeMerrick
I think we can work out what they mean by "late February" twitter.com/SerebiiNet/sta…

@JoeMerrick
Since people keep asking about it whenever I ask what I should cover...
Here's a list of Bugs in Scarlet & Violet serebii.net/pokedex-sv/bug…

@JoeMerrick
So, just to confirm another thing. If you put a Pokémon from say Legends into BDSP and back into Legends, it will revert to its old moveset and its Alpha Status, Effort Levels etc. will return

Thank you TPC for not having us watch this photographer's footage for 24 hours to see the final footage.
You're the best. My sleep schedule thanks you. twitter.com/SerebiiNet/sta…

The thing I am most proud of on Serebii in 2022 is the Interactive map.
First designed for Legends: Arceus then adapted for Scarlet & Violet, I'm so please with its functionality and depth.
It is what I pictured for Pokéarth in 2006.
Definitely a mainstay going forward.
