Welcome to Nouveau Café! Can I get you a coffee?

Personally, I feel like they mostly used our attachment to AZ left over from XY, but didn't really do that much with him in ZA (aside from being the cause of the current problem and needing us to help fix it, and letting us stay at his hotel), so his death didn't really hit as hard for me for a character we had the whole game. And then we didn't even know Sada and Turo, it was their AI occasionally calling us. (Definitely felt bad for Arven tho.)

I just wanted to cover the J League stuff again now that we have better examples of the merch that'll be sold. (The first 50,000 attendees get a complimentary eco bag, but there'll be keychains, T-shirts, and team towels too! Goods will only be available for the home teams.)

Hasbro will release a Pokemon version of the game "Guess Who?" in August!

For UNITE's 5th Anniversary, they're giving away a selectable, free Holowear. It doesn't work properly on mobile, so it's advisable to use the Switch version of the game.

Some real-life pics of these light-up premium gachapon figures from Bandai. These released back in June.

And last for now, there is a 13-acre field maze that opened in the UK to celebrate Pokemon's 30th Anniversary! (Naturally designed after the Kanto starters!)

Summary for the Pokemon Sleep x Horizons collaboration episode! (Sounds more interesting than the UNITE one, since it's actually character focused.)

The last batch of Rayquaza Rising/Rising Hope episodes are also now available on BBCiPlayer in the UK!

Arc Geeta is available to Scout in Pokemon Masters!

The final (I would assume) piece of Pokemon Sleep Anniversary art has been posted and was drawn by Tatsu Yukinobu (mangaka for Dandadan)!

And last for now, the NEXCO and Pokemon collaboration art! (More details on linked post.)

The Pokemon Horizons tie-in with Pokemon Sleep has been announced, with the episode airing Aug21, and the event running between Aug17-Aug24. Pikachu will have a Captain's hat and Tinkatink and its Evos will be available! The Expert version of Cyan Beach will also release Aug10.

Here's Professor Neroli's character art!

The dickhead is back! (He did give Tomoro a hint about Genjo, but I wonder how forthcoming he'll be about Souji.)

Confirmation that Kyo never had a family to begin with, since he was a victim of the Kano Island Vanishing Incident too.

The kids learn about who prompted Kyo's sudden and violent personality shift from the Kinoko gang, who saw that entire thing. Surprise MVPs this episode 🙂‍↕️

Kyo can't even meet Reina's gaze when he says their family is over.

Also, Kanchi continuing to be suspicious, watching all of this go down and smirking. (He could have told Souji about Kyo's new family. He already seemed pretty harsh towards Tomoro during Miharu's arc, which while that at the time seemed to be because she was becoming interested with him despite Tomoro opposing their plans, this arc implies he was using her and Mephistomon for the White Core.)
