I hope this will be for real when this happens as I have over 100 lucky friends on my main and alt accounts some of which I have across all accounts. Speaking of which, I'm finally done with the doing a route 7 days in a row as that was one of my biggest fears that I would accidentally break the streak and start all over again. Now it's the grind to acquire a million stardust to get to level 72.

Gj it rained heavy and was late so I let it Peter out after four days ugh, have to do next week derp ...

Looks like the next season has been datamined and will apparently be called Precious Paths. First event looks to be Paldea-themed*, though I would assume "Precious Paths" refers to the season being a buildup to the eventual Kalos tour and Zygarde-centric in general (paths=routes).


*although, is it me or has there not been an Alola-themed event for forever? We're getting a Pikipek CD this month, of course, but in general I feel like the Gen VII species have been out of the spotlight for a while. I'd love to see Type:Null introduced via a season-long research in the same manner as Poipole, Keldeo, Cosmog, and Hoopa.

Well I mean alola had a big focus last year and they finally let galar be a proper game this year so I think it makes sense. Alola will get a lot of stuff for the 2027 tour anyway.

Also just as well, there's not many Alolan species to release.
Wishiwashi, Pyukumuku, Minior all probably get little one off events and Wishi & Minior probably get really annoying gimmick releaese
Speaking of which: Mimikyu. It'll get released....some day. Surely. "Maybe Next Halloween" as they say
Type Null/Silvally will definitely be a season long research thing. Probably in the lead up to Alola Tour proper
Magearna & Zeraora just have to wait to be Go Fest (/etcetc) tie ins like all the other mythics, but there's not many left now in general; it's those 2, phione, manaphy, arceus & Pecharunt.

And that's it!

Meanwhile Paldea's really gotta start working through those Paradoxes sooner than later. They were in the key art for the anniversary and those have their own issues but there's 20 of those things + they've still not released the raidons

That's true, I'd actually forgotten Poipole was only released last year. Feels like much longer. I just want my boi Wishiwashi.

This year has been a pretty low key one for longer term players in terms of raids, there really hasn't been much if any new stuff iirc (megas aside, I mean new legendary releases). So I would expect either the raidons or the Paradoxes in raids before long. Blacephalon's signature move has also been datamined so hopefully those two are back in raids soon (still need the clown's shiny so yes please). There's a chance we'll get the fused Kyurems in December too, possibly if they they follow the recent Dialga/Palkia/Giratina model of "base form in raids, alt form for raid hour". Maybe that was just this season's gimmick but it's an efficient way to include more stuff so I would think they'll continue with it.
