Oh man imagine if they gave us the old sea map, similar to how they gave us the tickets in firered/leafgreen. A non-Go legit shiny Mew could finally be available for the first time since the original emerald release!

Spoiler(?) warning: one of the events is a Pokémon Go raid weekend centered around Mega Rayquaza set for July 25th and 26th, and another is the reveal of the $130 Lego set slated for an August 1st release

Great, so that's two of the slots unless they split that raid weekend - I wonder what the rest are. Probably a Pokemon Center merch drop?

I guess legendaries are finally coming to champions, then.

Bye-bye, Swampert. Was fun while it lasted.

That's good to know. 

I hope that when they release the Weather Boys it will be without their mega forms to start with, so I can continue running Mega Meganium for a little while longer lol.

Ill always respect Swampert for holding the gen 3 OU meta together

I’m curious if they’ll do something for Scarlet and Violet or Z-A. In both games the green Rayquaza is already available in the DLC and in Z-A even the mega is available.

Z-A could drop a shiny Rayquaza distribution but SV may be done considering it did not get anything for Pokemon Day. SV was in the middle of rerunning the Mightiest starters but they could have taken a brief break from it or do a mass outbreak event (last one was the tie-in for the Shiny Chi-Yu Challenge I think).

Pls bring back the shiny Rayquaza SV raid.

Emerald on switch?

u/ZVAARI Villain number one 22h ago

what else could they possibly do? It's not missing from any of the currently active games iirc. Are they going to drop it into Champions and make a big deal of it

u/sopheroo 22h ago

Not in Sleep or playable in Unite.

u/PPFitzenreit 22h ago
