Big Pikachu had a mouthful to share—felt like trying to drink from a firehose, honestly.
Alright, so there’s this new Z-A thing happening (no clue what that is, but it sounds intense) and big buzz in the Pokemon Go scene. And listen, there’s this game, “Pokemon Friends”—it kinda slipped out early on the iOS App Store. Oops. Turns out it’s also hitting Switch and Android. It’s like, solve puzzles, get plushies—because hey, why not? But you gotta cough up cash for more puzzles. They’re asking US$9.99 over on the eShop or something like that.
Oh, and I got sidetracked with talk of the 2025 World Championships. Anaheim, (yeah, home of the Anaheim Ducks), is hosting it on August 15 – 17. Championship Sunday’s going arena-style. Big vibes, right?
Switching gears, Netflix gave us a date for “The Pokemon Concierge” Season 2—mark your calendars for September 4. Plus, Aardman’s cooking up “Pokémon Tales: The Misadventures of Sirfetch’d & Pichu.” Coming 2027. It’s like getting presents lined up for a birthday that’s years away.
PokePark Kanto’s swinging open its gates in Tokyo in early 2026—just in time for Pokemon’s 30th anniversary, I bet. Feels like yesterday, doesn’t it? Speaking of time, Pokemon Masters EX is sliding Carmine (from Scarlet and Violet’s DLC) into the game on July 30. Ocean vibes are taking over in Pokemon Cafe Remix with Lapras and Totodile looking all dressed up starting today.
Latias is joining the squad in Pokemon Unite on August 8, and if you’ve ever thought Electrode should play volleyball, well, now’s your dream come true.
Caught a glimpse of new cards for the trading card game’s Mega Evolution set, which of course, sold out instantly. Too slow again, right?
Tomorrow kicks off some serious action in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet—raid battles against these “Treasures of Ruin” legendaries. We gotta hit a million takedowns to unlock shiny versions. It’s massive. Oh, and Mass Outbreaks are happening too.
Almost forgot—Pokemon Champions is letting you rent Pokemon (as if it’s Airbnb for Pikachu), and you can tweak their effort values and nature when it drops in 2026. Play scientist with your Mons, basically.
And breathe.
