This is such a mood.
So much misinformation is rife about Pokémon, spread by people who know nothing but have an opinion and twist things to match their narrative, that people then believe because just that person knows how to edit a video or pay someone to edit a video. twitter.com/TAHK0/status/1…

10 years. That almost makes it "retro"
Crazy. twitter.com/SerebiiOTD/sta…

There's also some small plush of Pokémon holding their evolution stone
204
@JoeMerrick
A new merchandise line has been announced for Pokémon Centers in Japan focused on evolution stones. One of the items is a set of Evolution Stones

@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
Everything is coming together in the Serebii Pokédex Hub now
209
@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.

Remember how people were saying they were doing an Eevee evolution countdown to the news and so it clearly meant a new Eevee evolution must be revealed in this trailer?
I remember.

@JoeMerrick
Scarlet & Violet look amazing
I honestly can't wait. Roll on November

We're almost at the time. A new generation is almost upon us and the pre-launch cycle is about to truly begin.
I love these times. I'll be sure to do my best covering it on Serebii for you all.
The next 6 months will be wild!

@JoeMerrick
This notion of Masuda and Ishihara as boogeymen that are stopping all of your desires for games and being solely to blame for everything you don't like is an absurd continuation of the constant misinformation and bile spread from youtubers in 2019. Stop it.
215
@JoeMerrick
No you idiots, Masuda isn't to blame for everything you don't like about the games. No this doesn't mean that X feature will now be added.
Good lord, be respectful

@JoeMerrick
Just for comparative perspective, this is the trailer that came out at the start of June in 2019 for Pokémon Sword & Shield

Adjust expectations accordingly

@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
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.
220
@JoeMerrick
Also Hop is finally appearing in the anime as well
221
@JoeMerrick
Look who's back for the first time in a long time
222
@JoeMerrick
Also this card artwork of a Smeargle photobombing Bibarel on the Bibarel card is great
223
@JoeMerrick
There's a new mechanic in the Pokémon GO TCG set in Japan where you'll sometimes get a card with a Ditto icon instead of the regulation mark. This top layer is actually a sticker.
You then peel the top layer to get the Ditto card

@JoeMerrick
Niantic giving extra rewards for local Raids in GO, that's good.
Niantic removing the weekly 1 coin Remote Raid Pass and removing the discount for buying 3 Remote Raid Passes...that's horrible

@JoeMerrick
Put in my Empoleon from my original Diamond & Pearl coverage playthrough back in 2006 and have the certificate to commemorate it being in BDSP
Meant to get this yesterday but didn't get round to it
