Browt, Pombon, & Gecqua in Pokemon Winds & Waves
Just in case the leaks are all legit, I'm still torn on whether I want to see a Garuda as Winds legendary or Browt's final evo, and a Komodo as a pseudo-legendary or Gecqua's final evo
Barong seems set to be the final evo for Pombon tho (& I somehow can't unread it as Primbon)
Note to self: if the new Pokemon region isn't instantly revealed, Paldea region was formally named for Gen 9 in early Aug '22 (~5 mths after initial reveal in late Feb '22)

Yeah I'm already aware of the leaks, but just wanna make sure on the formal side
Details for the region in Pokemon Winds & Waves still haven't been formally announced yet as of today's reveal, so keeping some snippets from the trailer for reference

Nioh 3 Season pass lineup in English DLC 1: Hell Rising DLC 2: Bloody Insurrection
Nioh 3 Season pass lineup in Japanese - English translations below 1st DLC: Keian Hell Disaster 2nd DLC: Amakusa Rebellion
Something I just noticed on Nioh 3 Season Pass' Steam page is that the 2 DLC packs are already named
And when I check the page in Japanese, the 2nd DLC has the Amakusa kanji and thus pretty much confirms that it will cover Amakusa Shiro Tokisada's rebellion at Shimabara in 1637
