Like it's really crazy how rapidly misinformation spreads One random person said an employee told them France only had 10,000 codes. This was proven not true, but it got boosted by so many, YouTubers are saying it, it's constantly in my mentions. Yet it spread based on nothing

On this day in 2006, 19 years ago, Pokémon Diamond & Pearl were first released. These games were new games set in the Sinnoh region with a story to stop Team Galactic, and included 107 new Pokémon www.serebii.net/diamondpearl

On this day in 1998, 27 years ago, Pokémon Red & Blue were first released in the US. These games were adaptations of Pokémon Red & Green based on the Pokémon Blue engine and brought the franchise to the west! www.serebii.net/rb

Serebii Reminder: The Pokémon Scarlet & Violet distributions for Shiny Wo-Chien, Shiny Chien-Pao, Shiny Ting-Lu and Shiny Chi-Yu are set to end on Tuesday, September 30th at 23:59 UTC Be sure to download them while you can Details @ www.serebii.net/scarletviole...

Absolutely thrilled I was able to get the Hawlucha Medal in Pokémon HOME thanks to a friend My medal collection is really coming along now, despite not having been able to go to Japan this year

I will never understand why Gamestop in the US gets a set amount of code cards for these events causing stock issues and reselling. In the UK and parts of Europe, for these events, the cash registers just print them out from their servers so they don't run out. It's much better.

Just saying it loudly, once again, since my preview comments were filled with it. No, the Pokémon Legends: Z-A DLC is NOT a Day 1 release. The story DLC will come much later. Also, while I'm at it, GF and TPC don't get any money from NSO subscriptions. Thanks

On this day in 2024, 1 year ago, Pokémon TCG Pocket was first released as a soft-launch for New Zealand This game is a simplified version of the main Pokémon TCG and features various new mechanics and features such as Immersive Artwork Cards www.serebii.net/tcgpocket/

Seeing so many people with followings not understand what Nintendo of America does. Maybe it isn't just the Pokémon community that just shares incorrect info as fact about how the companies work.

Finally. We're getting medals outside of Asia for special events. This is fantastic.

Serebii Update: The first Pokémon HOME event medal outside of Asia has been announced. Get a special medal at the Pokémon x Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre event in Mexico City on September 25th 2025 Details @ www.serebii.net

Man the Reddit thread on my Z-A preview is wild; People make up the weirdest stuff about me. Apparently I was complaining about SV leaks at my wedding. That's news to me, and everyone who attended.

Huge thanks to @PokemonNewsUK for inviting me to the Pokémon Legends: Z-A preview The fact it was INSIDE the Eiffel Tower was nuts You can check the preview out on Serebii!

Serebii Preview: We got to play Pokémon Legends: Z-A for over an hour through various parts of the game and there's definitely something mechanically special here Check out our preview @ www.serebii.net/legendsz-a/p...

After a few more attempts at the Donkey Kong Bananza DLC, I'm definitely vibing with it a bit more. I'd much prefer it to be something more akin to the main game, but I can see pockets of enjoyment here.

I am really surprised that we've continued to not have anything in the west for this Worlds was perfect for it. We have unique Regionals artwork so each Regional Championships could have it like Championships in Asia do Events like Mega Evolution Paris could have done it too.

Also if you want one of each of the evolutions of Applin you need 200 Candy for Flapple 200 Candy for Appletun 600 Candy for Hydrapple 1000 Candy to get the full evolution line registered. 1200 Candy if you want a Dipplin for a living Dex. Applin is not common enough to justify

We've gone back to not all spawns being listed, after they did last time. Inconsistency and lack of transparency sucks. Get it together Pokémon GO

On this day in 2017, 8 years ago, Pokkén Tournament DX was released. This game was an enhanced version of the Wii U title with all the DLC and some new Pokémon as well as a Team Battle mode allowing you to select 3 Pokémon www.serebii.net/pokkendx

Serebii Picture: First look at one of the exclusive merchandise coming to the pop-up store, a special Pikachu plush www.serebii.net

Serebii Update: Pokémon has announced a collaboration with the Natural History Museum in London. A special pop-up store will open from January 26th through March 22nd with exclusive merchandise. Tickets available October 1st Details @ www.serebii.net

Being called a defender/shill in response to me being very critical about the monetisation of a Pokémon game is definitely a new one.

On this day in 2000, 25 years ago, Pokémon Puzzle Challenge was first released on the GameBoy Color This game combined Pokémon with the Panel de Pon series and featured a story where you had battles against Gym Leaders www.serebii.net/puzzlechalle...

Didn't think it were possible but this new event style is so scummy and moneygrabby with a new stamina system Actual yuck.

Seeing the analytics for Pokémon Pokopia for everything the past week. After Z-A, it's the best performing game trailer from the Direct on both American and Japanese channels TPC/GAME FREAK/Koei Tecmo may well have something special here...

Here are the final amount of each Legendary Pokémon defeated Wo-Chien: 6,078,885 Chien-Pao: 5,020,994 Ting-Lu: 3,556,583 Chi-Yu: 3,126,823 The amounts definitely dropped once people realised you didn't need to participate in order to obtain then

No, them doing a special distribution of a common Pokémon to celebrate a Pokémon Center opening isn't them locking content behind location. Nor are they locking anything exclusive behind the local distribution

Huge thanks to The Pokémon Company International for this awesome spooky gift to celebrate the Pokémon Center 2025 Halloween range We do love Halloween in this house so the Pikachu is perfect. It’s coming soon to the Pokémon Center. Thanks TPCi! [Ad - Gift]

I really enjoyed Donkey Kong Bananza; it could quite possibly be my game of the year...Z-A has to be spectacular to beat it. The DLC unfortunately just isn't enticing me. I really don't like gameplay where you repeat the same stuff over and over. It's why I dislike Mystery Dungeon It's a shame.

On this day in 2010, 15 years ago, Pokémon Black & White were first released. These games started the fifth generation and featured only new Pokémon until the end of the game www.serebii.net/blackwhite/

In case people haven't realised, this one drops at 20:10 Japan time Pokémon Black & White was released on September 18th 2010 Just a little fun timeplay they're doing.

Good morning

During Generation 9 of Pokémon, if we get nothing more, we will have had the following Pokémon spin-offs 2 Console only Spin-off titles (Detective Pikachu Returns & Pokopia) 2 Console and Mobile spin-off titles (Champions & Friends) 2 Mobile only spin-offs (Sleep & TCG Pocket)

Once again for a Pokémon TCG drop on Pokémon Center, I go through, make the order, credit card verification and then bam, IP blocked. This is untenable. The resellers have 100% ruined this hobby and need to get out of it.

New commemorative banner for Pokémon Legends Z-A and Raichu on Serebii for the rest of the month until we hit launch month next month!

2026 is currently looking great for Pokémon (Mega Dimension is there due to placeholder on eShop until we get a date)

This Lumiose City model at the Mega Evolution Paris event is just incredible

On this day in 2008, 17 years ago, Pokémon Platinum was first released in Japan. This game was an enhanced version of Diamond & Pearl and featured an expanded Sinnoh Pokédex, as well as further story around Giratina serebii.net/platinum

On this day in 2007, 18 years ago, Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Time/Darkness were released This game featured all 491 then available Pokémon and featured a story involving the mysterious Time Gears and Primal Dialga serebii.net/dungeon2/

Huge thanks to The Pokémon Company International for bringing me out to the Pokémon Mega Evolution Paris event There’s such cool stuff here. Will make a short video on it soon #PokemonPartner

That’s the stamp rally done. That was a fun walk. Would love for them to do more things like this around events Thanks again to The Pokémon Company International for bringing me out to Paris for it #PokemonPartner

Think I have the bulk of everything from the Direct up. Let me know if there’s anything I overlooked Thanks everyone for your patience with this. It was a big drop and those are never easy when I’m not at home.

Well this is how this evolution chain looks now. How delightfully messy

Almost time for the Nintendo Direct As always I will be keeping an eye on all of them and will post any Pokemon stuff, if there is any, on Serebii & @serebii.bsky.social as soon as humanly possible. Please bear with me though as I’m not home for this one.

Good afternoon.

Looks like we have a Nintendo Direct confirmed for 13:00 UTC on Friday

Good news everyone who complained about me posting Hawlucha news, looks like the Malamar one is a Premiere in all regions so it likely won't be pipped by a direct OFFICIAL upload.

The Alola Sitting Cuties are on the Pokémon Center in the UK I will not financially recover from this

Third event in a row where the spawns are being hidden from us. All we ask for is the transparency we have seen for years with this game.
