Man they've even somehow nerfed the in-person GO Fest spawns. Now it's just around a dozen Pokémon, not special habitats or anything

What are they doing?? Some 10th anniversary celebration

You joke but there are people like this

I remember one time I was waiting for a bus...this was about 8 years ago, a group of young adults, like 18-20 went past and I overheard one saying "Remember the old days when we were kids and were playing Minecraft"

I died inside that day.

I fully expect we'll nail this one, but like I said this one will take a lot longer than the average spin-off game to collate everything.

I appreciate your support during all of this. This one is going to be great, and I'm excited for you all to see what I've been cooking up.

So, tomorrow the Pokémon Pokopia coverage will begin on Serebii.

Due to the sheer volume of content, this one is going to take a while and I've already begun opening avenues for community input through the Serebii Discord.

Remember, coverage is a process. It takes time to cook.

The level of customisation in this game is nuts.

People with way more imagination than me are going to do some crazy things and I can't wait to see what the community cooks up

The final LEGO Pokémon set has now arrived here

I've got so much to build and so little time right now due to Pokopia tomorrow

I can't wait to dive into building all of these.

The reporting of the patents have been heavily misreported. They don't patent vague elements at all.

The patents in question were very specific to a process in Scarlet & Violet, not a general one despite what the Internet claimed

I doubt it.

Let's not make up scenarios and then get mad as if it the assumption was true

Wake up and realise I have a brand new game that I have to cover in two days that is vastly different from every other game we've ever covered in Pokémon history

Yeah this is fine. Going to be a good one haha

I have now added full sticker catalogues for each LEGO Pokémon set which has stickers

Because why wouldn't I?

Also helps there's no pandemic impeding development here too haha

The fact that Slugma and Sizzlipede are having their flames be light sources in Pokémon Winds and Waves is fantastic

I really thing we may have something special coming here.

There. All 10 shiny Furfrou in HOME before Z-A connectivity came

Very glad this event filled that one gap I had.

The best part of potentially mapping stuff with Pokopia is that I am the one who gets to decide where benches and ladders go.

Bwahahahaha

The Dragonite gift isn't even mentioned in Pokémon HOME for it in English, while the deposit bonuses are in both English and Japanese

It's just an incredibly weird and unusual disparity in marketing that we're seeing. I doubt it means anything but it's weird.

So something weird is happening with Pokémon Champions

The English official updates have missed a lot of details
The English trailer, including the Presents, lacked mention of the HOME Connectivity, and the trailer lacked the Dragonite gift as well as the Deposit Bonuses

Yesterday was the biggest Pokémon Day we have ever had on Serebii, and even beat out the launch days for Pokémon X & Y and Pokémon Sun & Moon, which is nuts.

I can't thank you enough for all of your support; I always worry with Pokémon Day coverage, especially when I'm away.

It’s on sale at the my Nintendo store in Australia

Me thinking about Winds & Waves "Oh this will be fun to map"

Me then thinking about mapping underwater in an island range having to deal with depth and mapping out things with very little point of reference

This will be a challenge for sure.

Battle Pass and membership are paid with money

In game shop is in game currency

I misworded with locked, I know you can get some with VP in the shop

If you are being encouraged to spend to speed up, then the grind must be hard to encourage it. My concern is with balance too

Plus the Dragonite gift mentions Dragonitite is in the Battle Pass, no mention of shop

Well locked was apoor choice of words or either hard grind

My concern is balance. If they're encouraging payment to speed it up, how hard is it going to be to get it otherwise

My main concern about what we've seen with Pokémon Champions so far is locking things such as Mega Stones into Battle Passes, with Emboarite being seen only on the paid track

We need to see more, but this very much concerns me.

Forever rubbing it in Kieran’s face that Ogerpon didn’t pick him

In case people didn't see, the Pokémon XD trailer confirmed that Pokémon cannot be transferred in and out of the game from other titles.

This means no HOME support and no connectivity with FRLG.

It makes sense somewhat, for the reasons I mentioned for FRLG.

That one's just a basic text editor I use to code...simply because in the past it had hot keys which I never use anymore but still use this basic text editor

Still trying to catch up on things that I missed

So sorry I missed stuff. It's so easy for stuff to slip through the cracks and my laptop battery started to die at the event so I had to stop until I got back on the train and home

Let me know if there's stuff I missed.

So sorry
