Haha

I love the story, motif, visuals and music.
The gameplay is the worst abomination that has befallen mankind

I had a chat with Polygon recently to talk about how I and Serebii came to be where I am now.

Be sure to check it out!

When you have 1100+ thumbnails, there's little choice

I pushed the anchor up a little due to mobile quirkiness

Remember, the galleries on Serebii need you to click the small image to bring up the big image.

Seen a lot of people say our images are really really small...those are thumbnails, and you click to get the big version.

See this logo campaign just proves one thing that is often said but people continue to forget: Every Pokémon is somebody's favourite

Seeing people excited at seeing a logo with Blitzle, or Finneon, or Phione etc., Pokémon largely ignored, is such a fun thing.

Do a force refresh

Why did I do this?

Because my insanity clearly knows no bounds. Two days ago I made a LEGO piece database; this is child's play

First cards for Mega Floette ex and Ange Floette have been revealed in Japan.

Was not expecting the latter

Ah that page needs an update. I'll put a note to get it done :)

I'm also insane

Ahead of its release, I've updated the Serebii LEGO Pokémon database to include all officially confirmed pieces for each of the 5 sets.

But that's not all. You can also check what sets a piece is in.

I'll add quantities and the new pieces when the sets are out

Yes, because 3DS Virtual Console releases were their own individual software.

On Nintendo Switch, however, it's in one piece of software which has a shared save file which is cloud compatible.

Please actually learn the subject matter before trying to correct me.

They literally can't just disable the save data cloud backup for one game out of all GBA games on the Classics app

No game has disabled rewind or save states either.

It was said in the Japanese announcement tweet

That is the most likely scenario

Like if you don't want to know the actual facts and reasons about things, there are plenty of people in the fandom who don't know what they're on about with a following.

Go follow them instead if you just want confirmation bias.

Honestly I'm starting to get a sick of people coming at me when I'm just explaining the reasons behind things, just because the reasons don't mesh with a fabricated narrative in their head.

Epitome of don't shoot the messenger.

For those who are concerned about length, here's prior Pokémon Day Presents length

2021: 20 minutes
2022: 14 minutes
2023: 25 minutes
2024: 12 minutes
2025: 19 minutes
2026: 25 minutes

It's actually on the longer side for a Pokémon Day one.

Ok I'm just making this clear now, like I do every year

No, mobile games do not take up space for Pokémon Presents. If they didn't include the mobile games, it wouldn't be more main series content, it'd be a shorter Pokémon Presents.

If these have the Aurora Ticket and Mystic Ticket available natively like they did with the GS Ball in 3DS Virtual Console for Crystal, that'd be super.

Because they're spinoffs and they don't care

So why its own thing and not in Nintendo Classics?

It's simple

Save Data Cloud & Rewind. Game Freak have routinely not wanted these so you can't scum encounters/releases/trades

Plus HOME connectivity would need its own save file too

Serebii Note: Pokémon HOME connectivity has been confirmed to come soon to Pokémon FireRed & Pokémon LeafGreen on Nintendo Switch & Nintendo Switch 2
