It's Super Effective: A Pokemon Podcast

Pokémon Day shocked everyone with the reveal of Generation 9, Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet. Before the big reveal, we talk about the Daybreak update to Pokémon Legends, the 2.5 Year Anniversary event in Pokémon Masters EX. Season of Alola is coming to Pokémon GO and Cafe Remix is getting some updates too. Pokémon Day did not seem to disappoint, although we have no Pokémon games planned in between now and Gen 9.

13 minutes of gameplay footage was shown of Legends Arceus and we now have somewhat of a better understanding of what to expect when this game arrives at the end of the month. It seems like Sword and Shield is coming to an end with Season 12 competitive rules and 3 new Shiny Legendary Birds as trophies for those who want to compete this Spring. Pokémon UNITE gets a new character and gets added to the World Championship for 2022.
