A friend got me the codes for the Clefairy event happening in the Pokémon Center in Japan.
To get the codes, you have to pretend to use Metronome to the staff at the Pokémon Centers. Definitely a unique way to do it.

Not paying attention in class in Scarlet & Violet?
I've got you covered with a cheatsheet for those pesky exams serebii.net/scarletviolet/…

@JoeMerrick
Good evening from this beautiful shiny Legendary Pokémon
104
@JoeMerrick
Fun fact. The World Cap Pikachu distribution that started today in Japan has the Alola Champion ribbon on it rather than any of the Event Ribbons

@JoeMerrick
Thank you @Junichi_Masuda for meeting us today 😄
106
@JoeMerrick
This promo card too though!

@JoeMerrick
No, yelling at every social media post that you want news, a trailer or a Direct doesn't mean they'll suddenly release one or change the plans they've had for months.

@JoeMerrick
This whole notion that has been going around of official artwork just "tracing" models and/or sprites is some of the most absurd ragebaiting I've seen in quite a while in the Pokémon community.
We're better than this.
Stop listening to people who just want social clout.

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

New generation coverage has always been a fun one.
Most of you weren't around for this but with Ruby & Sapphire's launch, we actually crashed the server we were on due to sheer load. At that point, the site didn't fund itself and so we lost the server and were down for 5 months! twitter.com/SerebiiOTD/sta…

New merch line for Pokémon Center in Japan...
It's like they knew...

@JoeMerrick
So I sat through and timed the phases of the day in the game
72 minute day so basically equivalent of 3 minutes per hour
Evening gives you a 6 minute window to evolve your Own Tempo Rockruff

@JoeMerrick
So, my thoughts going into credits
Fantastic game so far
Performance wise, it can be bad with shadows and the animation slicing I mentioned before, but I have not once experienced the issues people have been sharing. It's by no means broken or unplayable
Roll on postgame

@JoeMerrick
I swear if this leads up to a 24 hour livestream in a forest...

GAME have now put out a form to fill in to get your Shiny Eternatus code so be sure to fill it in to get yours if you haven’t yet game.co.uk/webapp/wcs/sto…

@JoeMerrick
Basically it seems from the reviews that the game is great, pushes Pokémon to new limits, but is let down by some technical performance issues.
124
@JoeMerrick
This is quite a stunning amount.
Despite the jank performance, these are really fun games and I'm seeing so many people have so much fun with them.
If they can stabilise it in the future and provide DLC/updates, then these could be amongst the best games. twitter.com/SerebiiNet/sta…

"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.
