Also we now have definitive evidence, even beyond the TCG.
Basculin White-Striped Form is a Hisuian Form
227
@JoeMerrick
These backpacks though
228
@JoeMerrick
My Living Form Dex is now complete once more.
From Bulbasaur through to Enamorus and everything in between. Every depositable form. Every gender variance.
Every Pokémon capable of Gigantamaxing has the Gigantamax Factor too!

@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
230
@JoeMerrick
Here's proof that Alpha Pokémon keep their flag since some people doubted
231
@JoeMerrick
Arceus' forms automatically revert when you put them into HOME
Origin Formes automatically revert when you put them into HOME
For the first time, Sky Forme Shaymin REMAINS when you put it into Pokémon HOME
232
@JoeMerrick
Nintendo put their Q&A up in English.
Earlier this week lots of outlets went with the google translated statement of the launch transition being a "Major Concern". Turns out that's not what was said.
What was said was they're working to make sure it's as smooth as possible
233
@JoeMerrick
Oh gosh
I just had the realisation. When transfer opens up, if there's no restrictions for evolution then we'll soon be able to get
GO, Kalos, Alola and BDSP origin mark Wyrdeer, Ursaluna and Kleavor as well as Galar origin mark Kleavor
234
@JoeMerrick
Ok since there's confusion somehow
Yes, Pokémon from Legends: Arceus can go into Pokémon Sword & Shield, but only if they're coded into it.
So that means no, Hisuian Forms and the new Pokémon aren't going to be added to Sword & Shield.
235
@JoeMerrick
"Special Pokémon that can only be caught once during regular gameplay can only be deposited once per save data to Pokémon HOME."
Interesting. Very interesting. Good to know.

@JoeMerrick
Six years ago today we got our first look at Pokémon Sun & Moon gameplay, revealing the Starter Pokémon
Can't believe that was six years ago

@JoeMerrick
So, probably another controversial opinion.
I don't like remakes. I don't want more remakes.
I'd much rather, if we HAVE to get a game in an old region, have it be the same region but X amount of years later, so Sinnoh 15 years later, Kanto 25 years later etc.

@JoeMerrick
Whoops accidentally deleted the wrong tweet and deleted the main one
Here are the sales figures for main series Pokémon games as they stand as of March 2022
239
@JoeMerrick
Also can we stop with this narrative where if a game you don't like sells well, that all future games will suddenly be bad.
People insisted there would be "no innovation" after SWSH, yet Legends exists and SV seems to iterate on both
240
@JoeMerrick
These are great sales, considering it lacked the holiday bump the other Pokémon games have. 12.64 million in 2 months is great.
I hope we get more Legends style games in the future twitter.com/SerebiiNet/sta…
241
@JoeMerrick
Oh my gosh, I think this might just confirm Sinnoh remakes twitter.com/SerebiiNet/sta…
242
@JoeMerrick
This promo card too though!
243
@JoeMerrick
Gosh the new Character art cards revealed today are just great, and Pokémon Legends: Arceus focused of course.
244
@JoeMerrick
A game, especially a single player game with finite content, doesn't need to still be played and talked about months and months after launch for it to be good and/or successful
245
@JoeMerrick
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…

@JoeMerrick
Good evening from this beautiful shiny Legendary Pokémon
247
@JoeMerrick
To clarify
Game code says it outright that they are SubLegendary like Articuno, Landorus etc.
Peony references it.
Rulesets that banned all Legendary Pokémon banned them.
It's a lore subcategory of Legendary Pokémon

@JoeMerrick
There's a lot of discussion about Greninja today, so I'm going to put out probably one of my most controversial Pokémon opinions.
I feel the design of Ash-Greninja is superior to regular Greninja. It is my preferred form.
