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.

Got further confirmation from TPCi to other outlets as well, in case people were still hesitant to believe what I said the other day. twitter.com/eurogamer/stat…

@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.

@JoeMerrick
I love the way they have gone with reveals since SWSH. We've had the standard ones, but also some crazy unique ones
Nature cam livestreams
Website takeovers *2
Lost cam footage
Different nature cam
Streamer parody
Now this
I love it. Keeps reveals fun & not just listicles

@JoeMerrick
Also people need to consider how it affects things in terms of people who work at companies.
People who spend so much time on something and then it's posted out, not on their terms, just for people to get a bit of clout.
Companies restructure to avoid leaks too, so jobs get lost

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

@JoeMerrick
I just want to reiterate how happy I am Raid Battles have returned in Scarlet & Violet, and that they seem to have taken the feedback about its speed to heart.
It honestly was one of my favourite things about Sword & Shield and being back is great.

@JoeMerrick
So, @PokemonUnite have kindly given me four pairs of codes to give away for Pokémon UNITE to get Sableye and Zoroark, the two latest characters introduced in the game!
Both are a lot of fun to play as!
For a chance to get them, just reply here with your favourite Holowear!

@JoeMerrick
Time is almost up for this gift. Get it while you still can twitter.com/SerebiiNet/sta…

@JoeMerrick
The thing I am most proud of on Serebii in 2022 is the Interactive map.
First designed for Legends: Arceus then adapted for Scarlet & Violet, I'm so please with its functionality and depth.
It is what I pictured for Pokéarth in 2006.
Definitely a mainstay going forward.

@JoeMerrick
Just went to do a 6 Star Ghost-type Blissey raid, three people brought Miraidon
There's so many things wrong with this haha
Hopefully in a few weeks more people adjust to how the raids need to be tackled to win
215
@JoeMerrick
Really is interesting seeing people say the special in-game preorder bonuses for Scarlet/Violet are worthless or “easy to get normally” because if it was like a unique Pokémon or something like that it would then get so much hate for locking worthwhile stuff behind preorders
216
@JoeMerrick
Just to clarify further since my words are being misconstrued a little, I’m not saying they are lying. What likely happened was a miscommunication
TPCi’s stance is what I said above and has been for a long time.
217
@JoeMerrick
This is such a mood.
So much misinformation is rife about Pokémon, spread by people who know nothing but have an opinion and twist things to match their narrative, that people then believe because just that person knows how to edit a video or pay someone to edit a video. twitter.com/TAHK0/status/1…
218
@JoeMerrick
Now this is the more intriguing part of the trailer, after the chest gets 1000 coins in the story...
219
@JoeMerrick
Scarlet & Violet sold another 277,000 retail units in Japan alone last week. This game is unstoppable
220
@JoeMerrick
Just remember, over the next two days there will be people misleading with lists of what they claim is in the Presents and other things. Be vigilant!
221
@JoeMerrick
What has happened to gaming discussion on socials where we have come to things like this because people expected a release date based on nothing, or Monkey Island where the lead will no longer discuss their passion due to abuse from people online?
Why can't people be courteous twitter.com/SonySantaMonic…
222
@JoeMerrick
So looks like we're getting these monthly and if they continue to be Pokémon not natively in the game, we could see Hisui Pokémon and others in it, which is a great notion
I'm glad they're continuing with this, it's a good concept twitter.com/SerebiiNet/sta…
223
@JoeMerrick
You only have 6 hours for this one so get it while you can
Here's the other codes too

@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!
225
@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
