I don't know what's worse. Random encounters or running through an area to be stopped by a Nymble that was concealed in the grass

The Scarlet & Violet starter plush are going on sale in Japan on August 4th!

So, Pokémon Stadium 1 & 2 lack connectivity with other Pokémon games on NSO, and based on my mentions, people are irate about this.
Let me explain why this is the situation and isn't an easy fix.
Simply put: The Game Boy games aren't on the Switch

So Pokémon Singapore has named the Gym Leader that's doing the news presenting tomorrow as "Iono"

@JoeMerrick
Pidgeot is remembered again

@JoeMerrick
Notsure it warrants a Serebii tweet but at Gamescom this weekend you'll see this Pokémon x Mini Aceman Concept Car
If it ever releases, I may have to learn how to drive.

@JoeMerrick
The most recent sales figures we have for all main series Pokémon games
Scarlet & Violet will almost certainly slow SWSH down. It's unlikely SWSH will hit RB's number. I do wonder how high SV can get though
85
@JoeMerrick
Neat, you can easily tell what is an event raid at least

@JoeMerrick
Gosh I love this takeover so much #PokemonWorlds

@JoeMerrick
Quick side tangent
They're releasing a Shiny Hisuian Zorua plush based on Hisuian Snow at the Pokémon Centers in Japan next week

@JoeMerrick
Since Pokémon games became simultaneous worldwide launch, at 50 days before a new generation, we knew of
XY: 29 Pokémon, 7 Megas
SM: 46 Pokémon, 10 Regional
SWSH: 20 New Pokémon, 3 Regional
SV: 16 New Pokémon, 1 Regional
How does everyone feel about the show less approach?

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
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
This Spidops card art is better than it has any right to be for Spidops
92
@JoeMerrick
There's also some small plush of Pokémon holding their evolution stone
93
@JoeMerrick
Gosh I missed one
94
@JoeMerrick
The fact Dudunsparce and Maushold's alternate forms are 1 in 100 not 1 in 25 certainly makes shiny hunting them a nightmare, especially Dudunsparce as that form is not in the wild/raids
Good luck to everyone crazy enough to hunt it

@JoeMerrick
I recognise that many of you use other Pokémon sites.
That's it. That's all I've got.

@JoeMerrick
I'm too busy to deal with this but it's spreading, so.
If you're going to complain, get your facts straight.
No TPC isn't withholding budget.
No TPC can't give Pokémon to another company.
No TPC isn't time constraining Game Freak.
No they don't ignore games just to make merch twitter.com/JoeMerrick/sta…

@JoeMerrick
Also this card artwork of a Smeargle photobombing Bibarel on the Bibarel card is great
98
@JoeMerrick
Well, we did it
Serebii just had its biggest day on record, beating the peak from Sword & Shield with well over 3 million visitors as per the site's stat system
That's wild. I honestly thought we'd never break it. Thank you so much and I hope the site continues to help!

Tera Raid tips
Think of their original type for your defence so if they're usually an Ice-type, don't bring a Dragon-type
Think of their Tera type for your attacks
Use the Serebii raid lists to double check opposing moves

I have had a fantastic day. Thank you all for the well wishes, it has been the best day and I am so excited to spend the rest of my life with Marti
Can’t believe it was trending on Twitter.
