Pokémon Worlds has announced sign-ups to enter a lottery to purchase tickets for the event in Anaheim. Tickets went up in cost and now have new limits. Pokémon TCG Pocket plans to remove trade tokens completely later this year. Claude Plays Pokémon shows us how Pokémon Red & Blue can be used as benchmarks for silly ideas and also makes us second guess what we remember about those games. The Scopely deal for Pokémon GO actually goes through and we readdress the future of this game.

Pokémon GO announces some new events, more details about Unova Tour, and the dates for the 2025 GO Fest this year. Pokémon Center announces the Year of Eevee, to mostly likely just sell more merch. Pokémon (in Japan) trademarks two new names, “Mega Brave” and “Mega Symphonia," which is mostly likely for the TCG, but can be related to Legends Z-A. We talk about the two upcoming TCG sets and how both are sold out.
