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.
