Are the Apricorn Balls locked to preorders again like in BDSP?

Not sure if this matters, but it took five years between 3DS VC and the Gen 1 games (2011-2016). GB and GBA NSO didn't come out until 2023.

https://championships.pokemon.com/en-us/about/2026-season-changes#pokemon-champions The official Championships website says, "On a date to be announced in the future, Pokémon VGC events will operate solely on Pokémon Champions." Is anyone else dismayed that future Worlds will consist only of...

An all-digital future is permanent. Leaks are temporary.

The problem is that the 3 megas will become lost indefinitely once the seasons end.

Thanks!! This is ludicrously specific, but is there any rectangular box that specifically says "Estimated Release Date: 2/28/2026"? That would indicate a date actually programmed into the eShop system rather than just written description text. Sorry for the dumb question - where does the...

It looks like the official website says the DLC is available for pre-order already? Can someone who has access to the eShop please check and see what the claimed release date for the DLC is? In the past, the eShop's placeholder dates have revealed tiny bits of info that the official website hasn't.

Thoughts: I actually disagree with the "how dare they announce paid DLC before the game's even out" camp. Smash Ultimate also did this. Kalos starter megas being event-exclusive really, really sucks.

Huh? I specifically remember the variety show confirming a new type was on the way because two of the skits were "resists fighting" and "weak to poison", ruling out all existing types.

It was revealed 3 days before release: https://serebii.net/news/2022/25-January-2022.shtml The official website also posted clearer silhouettes and the Japanese trailer had a less clickbait title...

Does the early-purchase bonus mean that Gardevoirite is going to be an event-exclusive item? :row:

Ever since the cancellation of E3, mid-year presentations have been in August.

Sword/Shield used a 400-pixel HP bar rounding to the nearest 400th (proof), while BDSP used a 256-pixel HP bar rounding to the nearest 256th (proof). I'd be very surprised if SV used 48ths (but I don't know SV's exact number).

I even wonder if VGC 2026 might have it. ZA is late 2025, which means the next main series game after that won't be until late 2026. This means that either VGC 2026 features Champions, or TPC is stuck with four years in a row of Scarlet/Violet VGC. We've never had four VGCs in a row use the same...

I don't think people are angry about a lawsuit over plagiarism - I think people are angry because nintendo chose to do a patent lawsuit specifically. Patenting game mechanics sets all sorts of terrible precedents.
