Did you know, even though only Let's Go & Legends: Arceus made use of it and displayed it, both Pokémon Sword & Shield and BDSP generate & keep Height/Weight variance in the game data for each Pokémon obtained?
If SV displays them, you may find you have some tiny/huge Pokémon

A new PR just came out.
Game Freak are implementing an optional 4 day work week giving employees an extra day off a week for purpose of childcare or family care, able to be done on a monthly basis, to give a flexible work environment where needed i.e. Summer Vacations

It's like they knew...

Guys I saw these in a shop today. Think it means we will get news soon?
:P

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.

@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

Good evening from this beautiful shiny Legendary Pokémon

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
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

@JoeMerrick
Gosh the new Character art cards revealed today are just great, and Pokémon Legends: Arceus focused of course.
13
@JoeMerrick
This promo card too though!

@JoeMerrick
Oh my gosh, I think this might just confirm Sinnoh remakes twitter.com/SerebiiNet/sta…

@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…

@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

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

@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.

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

"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.
21
@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.
22
@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

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

@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

Here's proof that Alpha Pokémon keep their flag since some people doubted
