With Pokémon Worlds around the corner, we learn how to actually play the Legends Z-A demo early if you are attending (and yes, it'll only be for people who have a pass to attend Worlds). The drama behind the Ho-Oh missing art has been fixed quickly. We defeated over 6 million Wo-Chien and the Shiny is now in Mystery Gift. Pokémon GO is getting three small events in the USA for Eternatus. Pokémon is getting a new event in Japan at select observatories.

We talk about Pokémon Champions and how it can go really well or really bad depending on how they launch it. Pokémon TCG is also getting Mega news on July 10th. Pokémon did a gameshow and $20 seems too much for a single Golden Bottle Cap in GO.
