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.

Gosh these promo cards, and with a Pokémon Center stamp too
The TCG really is hitting new highs

@JoeMerrick
This Spidops card art is better than it has any right to be for Spidops

@JoeMerrick
They're still doing teases of Paldea Pokémon with Team Rocket in the anime right now, this week Koraidon

@JoeMerrick
Even more of the Art cards have been revealed

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

Exactly 10 years ago today, we had the Pokémon Direct that revealed Pokémon X & Y
Can't believe it has been a decade. 3DS is almost retro

The anime in April

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

@JoeMerrick
Also it has been confirmed they're continuing with Art and Special Art Rare cards

@JoeMerrick
New Greavard cards just dropped

@JoeMerrick
So going into 2023, what's everyone's Pokémon hopes/expectations?
My hopes are:
SV DLC
Pokémon Sleep to come out of hibernation
Detective Pikachu 2 on Switch
New spin-offs in general
Hopefully the return of movies
Big surprises

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

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.

@JoeMerrick
This is the first time since it released that you can actually get Cinderace in a Poké Ball other than the standard Poké Ball.
What did you get yours in? twitter.com/SerebiiNet/sta…

@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
My wife really gets me.

@JoeMerrick
Time for the usual annual fun fact
Today is the 359th day of the year.
Absol is Pokémon #0359 and is known as the Disaster Pokémon, appearing before disaster strikes
Have a good day everyone :)

@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
21
@JoeMerrick
Ash's father is trending in Japan right now
Looks like a reveal may be imminent
22
@JoeMerrick
They're here finally. The Unova Pokémon Sitting Cuties/Pokémon Fit are coming out next month in Japan
23
@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

That's it. That's all I've got.
