First Christmas! (Yes, they're doing a Christmas episode ALREADY. Who doesn't love a good Christmas in April?)
Gotta Catch 'Em All! - Pokémon Thread

....Except for Spinda. Spinda is still locked away. Spinda knows what they did.
(Context, for those who might be curious)
Spinda is only available on the Switch in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. But, ILCA programmed Spinda differently than in every other generation beforehand. So, if you tried to put a Spinda in or out of BDSP to Home, it would have completely different spots than every other game. So, the solution they landed on was to just NOT let you move Spinda in or out of BDSP at all. So, Spinda is basically locked away on Home, limiting you to ones you already have from previous generations. Which has made Spinda oddly desirable, since you can't complete the Home Dex without one.

First...Goodbye, the final episode of Mon Poke. (For now, maybe, who knows?)
You can get a Championship Rillaboom with the code:

Pokemon Legends Z-A finally gets a release date! October 16!
www.nintendolife.com
Also, we'll be getting a Pokemon Presents on July 22. Supposedly, telling us more about the game.
October's a little earlier than I expected. Usually new Pokemon games come out in mid-November. But, I'm not complaining. It is a little odd that they didn't have a full announcement trailer ready to reveal the release date, though. They could have made a bigger deal out of this reveal, but instead they just put out a press release. It's weird.
The box art is pretty neat, though.

If I call its name, will it save me from the dark?
I can't wake up!
Pokemon Presents!
(The mainline game news starts at 13:30. The Legends Z-A news starts at 17:17.)
The Pikachu Pre-Show is a cute idea. I'm not sure how many people are going to have the patience to actually sit through the whole thing, but the thought is nice.
REMIX! I appreciate DJ Pikachu and his rad shades. He's making this elevator music COOL! I do appreciate all the new versions of the classic game chiptunes, here.
This one Pikachu that they keep cutting to is just having his mind BLOWN by this whole experience. It's always him, too. Is there a story here?
I'm kind of amazed at what a heavy sleeper "Sleepy Pikachu" off to the side is. Is he going to be sleeping through the whole thing?
Wait...there are...TWO DJ Pikachu?! The Green Shades one and the Red Shades one. Things are getting taken up a notch!
Fangirl Headbanging Pikachu is feeling the groove! This is going to turn into a mosh pit by the end.
So, what's going to happen when the yellow "progress bars" on each side of the DJ table get all the way filled up? They're filling up too fast for it to mark the end of the show.
...And the answer is...nothing. The "progress bars" just go back to zero after a song finishes. Kind of disappointing.
Heh, one Pikachu just walks out. I guess he was disappointed about the "progress bars" too.
A THIRD DJ Pikachu with Blue Shades?! How many of these guys are there?! Well, okay, I could see a "Yellow" one showing up, at least, to complete the Kanto colors.
Is "Sleepytime Pikachu" okay? Is he still alive? Maybe someone should check on them.
Man, a few PIkachu are leaving. Guess they're not a fan of Blue Shades?
30 minutes! We're officially halfway there!
DJ Pikachu number 4 is late?! And it is indeed Yellow Shades! The prophecy was true!
Oops! Looks like they lost power. Technical difficulties. Gotta start the stream all over again, I guess.
...Good thing they're all Pikachu and can literally power the rave themselves. Creepy "Haunted House" music. I approve.
Mimikyu is here! Our cute goth finally arrived!
Heh. One of the Pikachu just has his arms crossed in the background. Such attitude.
Jigglypuff song remix! Now we're talking!
Yellow Shades is out! Peace! RAINBOW SHADES has arrived! The fifth (and supposedly final) DJ Pikachu in it's ultimate form! Okay, didn't expect that. Wasn't sure what to expect, really. I might actually be tempted to buy a pair of those shades, honestly. Even the progress bars are switching colors now!
The mist flashing different colors is actually kind of a neat effect.
Sleepytime Pikachu finally woke up! Wow! What riveting character arc!
ALL THE DJ PIKACHU ARE HERE!!!
*WINK*
Okay, that was kind of fun. I had more fun watching that than I really should have. And it was more than twice as long as the rest of the Presents!
Even Pikachu was watching the Pikachu Pre-Show!
Finally, we start the main show! Or at least...the lead up to the main show. I guess we've got a lot of mobile games we've gotta shill first. *SIGH*
The Pokemon World Championships! Yeah...I don't really care. The promo card looks fine, but I'll never see one in real life.
Oh, a special World Championship-only Toedscool code for Scarlet and Violet. Yeah, I already have one. But, I wonder if this one will know any special moves?
They're trying to get people to watch their streams, so they're having giveaways during them. Not sure if it's for in-game codes or physical merch or a little bit of both. But, I'll keep my ear to the ground to see what they turn out to be, I guess.
Oooh, more Pokemon Consierge! I'm looking forward to that!
Huh?! A wild ex appeared! The drama...
Eevee in a bow is cute.
Oh-ho-ho-ho, Aardman's doing stop motion Pokemon shorts?
Shaun the Wooloo?
This shall be quite British, indeed, I say wot?
The Misadventures of Sirfetch'd and Pichu! Coming in...2027?! Well, stop motion animation doesn't come fast, I guess. They don't say if it'll be a Youtube or Netflix thing, though.
Why do they never talk about the Horizon anime in these? I mean, if they're going to talk about literally everything else anyway, why not?
PokePark Kanto. Another place I'll never visit. Funny this isn't a part of the Universal Nintendo parks.
Sedge Town. I'm sure that means something, but it escapes me at the moment. So, are the "Pokemon" actually people in mascot costumes, or animatronics, or is it more of a "holographic" virtual idol sort of thing?
Okay, being able to see a real life Pokemon Center and Poke Mart would be kind of neat.
Looks like the Pokemon are just statues. That makes sense. Though, it'd be more fun if some of them moved.
Someone's going to steal one of those Eevee statues, I'm calling it now.
Opening 2026, so relatively soon. Neat. But, again, it's in Japan, so no go for me.
The mobile games BEGIN!
Eternatus in Pokemon Go. Neat. Will you actually be able to catch it in it's Eternamax form? It'd be a first, if you could. Not sure if I care about the Gigantamaxes, since you can only use them in Sword and Shield. And maybe the upcoming Pokemon Champions.
EVERYONE IS HERE! Pokemon Masters EX always has the hypest trailers.
YAAR, me hearties! Pirate Lapras is in Cafe Remix! And a whole pirate crew and barge to boot! Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of microtransactions!
The Johto Beasts are coming to Pokemon Sleep. I think we know that? But, it's a cool trailer.
The Latis are in Pokemon Unite!
Legends Z-A Mega Evolution themed cards are coming to the TCG. Nice card art. So SHINY!
Pokemon Friends! Because we REALLY needed ANOTHER spin-off game. Well, this one's a puzzle game collection, it seems. It looks...like the cheapest "flash" game imaginable. But, oh well. They're probably pretty fun mini-games, I guess. On mobile AND console, it seems.
11 mintues left! PLENTY of time to finally talk about the main games!
OOOH! The Shiny Treasures of Ruin are going to be available in Raids. Okay...I'm in! Some of those shinies are REALLY good. Shiny Blue Flame Chi-Yu WILL be mine!
Wo-Chien is July 23 to August 3. Chien-Pao is August 4 to August 17. Ting-Lu is August 18 to August 31. And Chi-Yu is September 1 to September 14. Of course, they save the best for last.
...What? You don't get the Shiny Treasures unless they EACH get beaten one million times?! Why? Are they THAT desperate for engagement? Who BENEFITS from that? Why does Gamefreak ALWAYS have to put some weird, absurd requirement on these things? AARGH!
So, are they only CATCHABLE after the one million defeats or will EVERYONE just get a code to get one after one million defeats?
EDIT: Okay, according to Serebii, once the Pokemon is beaten a million times, the Pokemon will be available via Mystery Gift. Okay, well, that's better then. I'm sure the competitive players will save us on this one. Still, is there going to be some sort of counter so we can keep track?
And we get a...tracksuit via code, too, I guess. And it's game exclusive again...for some reason. STRACKSU1T or VTRACKSU1T, depending on your version.
I guess there are "premade" Pokemon available in Pokemon Champions, so that's good. Looks like you can "rent" or "buy" them. So...that feels like this is going to be full of microtransactions. We'll see, I guess.
Looks like there is some sort of "stat editor" in this game. That could be handy.
Not sure if I'm interested in this in the first place, really. Releasing in 2026. I wonder how the Switch 1 version will end up running?
Finally! Legends Z-A!
Looks like there are "Alpha Pokemon" in here, too, judging by the red eyes of that Houndoom.
Lida! I don't know who that is, but I like the design.
Looks like there will be "gyms" of a sort in this game. Judging by this poison-looking building.
Emma! I KNEW she'd be in this game! Glad to see her taking up Looker's mantle.
And now...finally...the reveal...of MEGA Dragonite! It's...a little goofy. But, I kind of like it at the same time. The wings on it's head and it's more "Dragonair" like tail are neat. I just wish they gave Dragonite a different evolution path that looked more like Dragonair, frankly.
Team MZ. Huh. What does that stand for?
Naveen and Lida! Trying to help the community while also doing their different kinds of art. I'm sure they'll have touching stories during the game.
So, they make it sound like you'll only be able to catch Pokemon during the day and battle trainers at night. I'm sure there will be exceptions, but I'll bet it's 90% that way for most of the game.
The Rust Syndicate. So, I guess this is more of a evil team, rather than a gym? Unless there's a bunch of rival "mob bosses" in town, which could be a fun setting.
Furfrou styles are back! But, will you be able to "save" them in Home?
Emma! But, will we get any clue about where Looker himself is? He's been MIA since Ultra Sun and Moon.
Rogue Mega Evolution! But, how is that possible, if Mega Evolution is about the bonds between Trainer and Pokemon? Who are they "bonding" with?
October 16! That's earlier than I expected, honestly!
And you can get a Ralts with a Gardevoirite as a early-purchase bonus. Neat. I don't know how far into the game you usually have to get in order to get that normally. Hopefully, it's just in the base game.
And 100 Pokeballs as a digital early-purchase bonus. That's...nice, I guess? Still, I'm going to try and go physical.
REMIX! I appreciate DJ Pikachu and his rad shades. He's making this elevator music COOL! I do appreciate all the new versions of the classic game chiptunes, here.
