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

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
These backpacks though

@JoeMerrick
Also we now have definitive evidence, even beyond the TCG.
Basculin White-Striped Form is a Hisuian Form

@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

@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
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
Also this card artwork of a Smeargle photobombing Bibarel on the Bibarel card is great

@JoeMerrick
Look who's back for the first time in a long time
35
@JoeMerrick
Also Hop is finally appearing in the anime as well
36
@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.

@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
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
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
41
@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.

@JoeMerrick
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
For all you tree fans out there twitter.com/VirtuallyMarti…

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

@JoeMerrick
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
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.
47
@JoeMerrick
Everything is coming together in the Serebii Pokédex Hub now
48
@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.
