Wait, huh? This is a thing???Only pokemon to still evolve if it holds an everstone,
It's been the case since Gen IV, and the code leak all but confirms it's deliberate, and not a glitch (it specifically asks if the Pokémon is not Kadabra before checking if it has an Everstone).Wait, huh? This is a thing???
Do you have a source on that claim? That would be an interesting read.It's been the case since Gen IV, and the code leak all but confirms it's deliberate, and not a glitch (it specifically asks if the Pokémon is not Kadabra before checking if it has an Everstone).

To further add onto this, just because Kadabra hasn't appeared in the TCG doesn't mean Abra and Alakazam haven't. Both appeared in the Mysterious Treasure expansion, but not Kadabra, instead Abra was given a move called "Ultra Evolution" that let it evolve directly into Alakazam. Now this was the last time Abra had a TCG card... BUT Alakazam would later get an EX and Mega EX in Fates Collide, EX Pokemon not needing to evolve.Related to this I also suspect if Alakazam ever got a regional form, Kadabra would not. Uri Geller's presence is still felt to this day, seemingly. Only pokemon to still evolve if it holds an everstone, it hasn't shown up in the anime since 2005 (interestingly, Jynx also last appeared in 2006) and there hasn't been a Kadabra card since Skyridge in 2003. Even Jynx still gets cards these days (though never a EX/GX/V)
I mentioned the Porygon Phone in Masters.I feel like i should mention Pokemon Masters has a literal Potyphone, so its not like the idea is lost
Hmm good point.sudden thought: Raising Kubfu seems to be the crux of the DLC, right? You can't do the tower without it and its the main thrust of the "story".
But by extension that also means you probably can't be allowed to get rid of it. Otherwise you just can't do anything to actually "finish" the DLC.
And if that's a thing then, even if you obtain it from the get go & they just mark it as it cant leave, it likely means you couldn't store it in Home or Trade it away before you evolve it.
The alternative is you dont actually get Kubfu before it evolves into Urshifu. You get it as a cutscene and then get to use it in the tower of your choice, so it'll be in your pokedex, but you can't use it outside of there until evolution.
People who love living pokedexes: shudder with fear
I was thinking that for a bit, but I feel HOME having a Pokédex and incentives towards completing that; and hence needing a way to have Kubfu put in there somehow, shows that there will probably be some way to do it. I imagine that it'll be a case of completing the story as Kubfu, and then there'll be a special "post-story" place on the island to go to to evolve it if you wish.sudden thought: Raising Kubfu seems to be the crux of the DLC, right?

or.... the other way around. It evolves during the story, but you get a second one in the """postgame""" like Cosmog in gen 7I was thinking that for a bit, but I feel HOME having a Pokédex and incentives towards completing that; and hence needing a way to have Kubfu put in there somehow, shows that there will probably be some way to do it.

Shiny Celebi?" According to CoroCoro, booking of tickets for the movie Pokémon the Movie Coco will open in Japan on August 7th, after a more than three month delay due to the global situations. The movie will be released at a later point in the Winter of 2020. Alongside this, serial codes for Shiny Celebi and Zarude will be given and available to use instantly. "

For modern games, yes I believe so. I think they did give away Shiny Celebi as events in the gen 2 era through pokemon center stuff (& Shiny mew), but as you say those can't be transfered up.Shiny Celebi?
Isn't this the very first time they are giving it away? And the very first time outside of VC Crystal in which it can be obtained legally (that can be transferred to a game of Gen III onwards)?
So we won't be expecting Zarude until December then" According to CoroCoro, booking of tickets for the movie Pokémon the Movie Coco will open in Japan on August 7th, after a more than three month delay due to the global situations.

The serial codes should be given with the pre-orders, I believe.So we won't be expecting Zarude until December then
Oh yeah, so another two months to goThe serial codes should be given with the pre-orders, I believe.
Another thing I will never get *cries in no events in Argentina*
More than likely a safe bet by Joe.On the subject of the release date, I actually find this hypotesis by Merrick a good guess.
