Today marks 23 years since I started the site that became Serebii.net
Honestly, it continually astounds me to still see the site continue to grow, and hundreds of thousands of people using it each and every day

First look at the Sprigatito, Fuecoco and Quaxly plush too

But yeah, in case there was any doubt. Based on these new numbers found in the game that match the new TCG cards;
Gholdengo is Pokémon #1000
Also the cards confirms that Nat Dex numbers are four digit now, so Bulbasaur is #0001, Celebi #0251 etc.

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
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.

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

Casually playing, you send your lead Pokémon out on this. You're doing other things and not looking at it.
You turn around as it's KOing a Pokémon. It's a shiny.
Have fun :P twitter.com/SerebiiNet/sta…

@JoeMerrick
Right, so here's the official statement about the whole situation from TPCi
“We do not have any issues with fans/creators playing the games with Nuzlocke rules”
Call me a liar all you want, but this is from TPCi's mouth.

@JoeMerrick
So, recently people discovered that more Pokémon than just Water-types can swim. However, there's a functionality with these mechanics: Auto Battle
As such, I went through every Pokémon and form and documented its water mechanics
Check it out serebii.net/scarletviolet/…

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
