No, yelling at every social media post that you want news, a trailer or a Direct doesn't mean they'll suddenly release one or change the plans they've had for months.

@JoeMerrick
Today is a very special day. Normally I don't let my personal life get into the site but allow me this one indulgence.
Today I will be marrying @VirtuallyMarti, so I have created a commemorative banner that is now live on Serebii for the next day or so.

Things that would make huge waves when revealed, should they leak or get teased, will just go down a bit quiet with people going "Oh the leak was right" rather than "Holy crap this is wild"
Be considerate of others.

@JoeMerrick
Also people need to consider how it affects things in terms of people who work at companies.
People who spend so much time on something and then it's posted out, not on their terms, just for people to get a bit of clout.
Companies restructure to avoid leaks too, so jobs get lost
189
@JoeMerrick
This is being done through algorithms on socials or just people not being considerate. People just post them without warning, put them in thumbnails and algorithms push it to everyone.
I've had so many people come to me say they got spoiled just by opening Twitter/YouTube

@JoeMerrick
So we do need to talk about the problem that not just Pokémon is facing but gaming in general;
Leaks.
It's happening so much across the board, but the issue is that while people spoiling themselves with it is fine, people who don't want to see things are getting them too

Gosh I missed one

Holy cameo batman

@JoeMerrick
What has happened to gaming discussion on socials where we have come to things like this because people expected a release date based on nothing, or Monkey Island where the lead will no longer discuss their passion due to abuse from people online?
Why can't people be courteous twitter.com/SonySantaMonic…

@JoeMerrick
We finally have the first Glastrier & Spectrier cards. I was beginning to think we'd never get them

@JoeMerrick
I support the right for people who are high risk to live their life without fear of people acting like a petri dish and killing them and ask for people to just get a little prick and not act like one twitter.com/twilightroxas4…

Hi
I'm Joe. I'm severe asthmatic. I got infected by this early in March 2020 which caused my asthma control to collapse almost entirely. It is still not back to how it was and my sleep has been affected ever since.
Millions have perished
If you don't like these facts. Fuck off twitter.com/twilightroxas4…

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
Me: Game Freak staff are doing a session at GDEC talking about the issues with models and how they’ve resolved some of them going forward.
My mentions: They lied. Nothing changed. You’re distracting the issue.
No. Sit down and stop this nonsense spread by liars. Get over it
199
@JoeMerrick
Oh neat, Game Freak are doing a session at CEDC in August about Pokémon models, specifically about how it has been unsustainable to recreate all for each game and how they've changed their method for Legends, Scarlet & Violet
That's 100% going to be worth a watch for those there

@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
