Over 200 Pokemon from previous generations are said to be returning to Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield in the DLC, and so far at least 70 or so Pokemon have been confirmed by the new trailer. But one that was thought not to have been in the trailer actually might have been tucked away.

This online battling tournament has been going on throughout the summer, and yesterday The Pokemon Company announced that anyone who views matches airing at 11:00 a.m. PDT on August 22 and 23 can receive Mystery Gift passcodes that offer a Porygon2 trained to make use of Trick Room strategies. This code will only work through August 31, so those who are interested in the VGC should jump at the chance to receive an infamously effective Pokemon with speed-altering shenanigans that can take advantage of the Eviolite item for defensive buffs....

Today’s presentation also coincided with the release of the first DLC expansion for Pokemon Sword and Shield, the Isle of Armor. To celebrate the expansion’s release, the games will see a new Max Raid Battle be added.

This Monday, UNIQLO announced that Li Wen Pei won the Grand Prize for the Totem Gyrados and Magikarp submission shown above - but just two days later, UNIQLO released another statement informing consumers that Li Wen Pei had been disqualified. So, what happened? As per the contest rules, submitted designs needed to be made specifically for this contest. After Li Wen Pei’s design made waves, it was discovered that the designer had previously sold his Totem design on phone cases prior to UNIQLO’s call for submissions....

Earlier this week, a report from Bloomberg claimed that a panel of anonymous streamers had come forward to speak about massive changes Twitch is reportedly considering for the website. These moves would see Twitch slashing monthly subscription revenues for its top streamers from a 70% cut down to 50%, with the platform shifting gears to push ad revenue as the way for streamers to earn money, encouraging streamers to run multiple ads per hour for higher wages....

The result left the Poles in charge midway through the campaign on 13 points from five games, six ahead of closest rivals Montenegro and Denmark, who were held 0-0 in Romania. Lewandowski curled home a superb 40th-minute free kick and, although Stefan Mugosa equalised just past the hour, Piszczek got the winner with a fine lob in the 82nd after the Poles missed a barrage of chances against their injury-hit opponents....

It sits much closer to the former in terms of price, and it similarly seeks to be the kind of watch you might want to keep on even after your workout has finished. But it also sets out to appeal to a slightly more committed brand of fitness fan, with its rugged, sporty design. Like the rest of the Polar family, the Vantage M2 only makes cursory nods to mainstream smartwatch features....

Joaquim, 56, was allegedly in control of the LR 1130 Liebherr crane that crashed into the Itaquerao Stadium’s facade last Wednesday, killing two workers. Police have been unable to locate Joaquim and neighbours say he has abandoned his home, reports Xinhua. Police are working with three possible hypotheses: human error, mechanical fault and shifting of underlying soil. More than 1,300 workers resumed construction of the venue Monday. Builder Odebrecht said a section where the facade partially collapsed remained closed off to workers as investigations continue into the cause of the accident....

The incident took place on Tuesday in Miranda de Ebro, a city in the north of Spain. The video, recorded by a witness at the scene, showed the officer kneeling on the boy’s neck as he repeatedly screams in pain. In the clip, the officer can also be seen using a hand to press down on the boy’s face while pinning him down. The controversial restraint was used by a Minneapolis police officer on George Floyd, whose killing in May sparked protests across the U....

The new contract goes before the Long Beach City Council on Tuesday, September 17. The contract proposes pay raises for officers to help counteract an increase in the payments police make into the pension fund. However, it also includes a provision some say will undermine Senate Bill 1421, a police transparency law that went into effect January 1. SB 1421, passed in September 2018, makes files about police shootings, use of force, sexual misconduct and dishonesty available, by request, to the public....

Anti-vaccine protesters, many of whom were not wearing masks, were photographed by local reporters holding signs in the area where the press conference later took place. One photo taken by a reporter with the Providence-based news station WJAR showed Woonsocket’s police chief engaged in discussion with some of the protesters. The protesters then followed the chief’s instructions and left the building, the reporter said. After leaving the room, the protesters could briefly be seen through the windows as they stood outside, though they reportedly left before the press conference began....

Belgian Malinois/Shepherd mix Loki was originally purchased by the Olathe Police Department from a kennel in Pennsylvania, with the intent of serving as their newest police force dog. After a medical scan however, it was discovered two-year-old Loki had an underdeveloped kidney in need of removal in the near future. The kennel offered a replacement dog to Olathe Police free of charge, but informed the police department that Loki would be euthanized on his return....

Pokemon Scarlet & Pokemon Violet have a special item called the Ability Patch. This was introduced back in Sword/Shield (Generation 8) and, unlike their Ability Capsule counterpart, overrides a Pokemon’s regular Ability with its Hidden Ability… if it has one. Ability Patches don’t require Battle Points (BP) to obtain, but Scarlet/Violet players won’t be able to get their hands on one until the postgame.

The reveal teaser for these upcoming titles from Pokemon Day 2022 don’t reveal much, but fans have expressed interest in Scarlet and Violet’s art style alongside its starters Sprigatito, Fuecoco, and Quaxly.

Originally introduced in Pokemon Sun and Moon, regional forms offered a fresh take on older designs, often overhauling the Pokemon with new types, evolutions, and lore. Both Pokemon Sword and Shield as well as Pokemon Legends: Arceus helped to expand this further. However, given the majority of these new forms are being given to Pokemon from the first generation, there’s a case to be made for the studio to move away from Kanto in Scarlet and Violet....

It didn’t take long for fans to speculate that it could be the rumored Ghost Dog Pokemon coming in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, though fans don’t have to wait anymore. The new trailer is out, and fans were easily awarded for their patience.

Although they are not seemingly part of any Gym Leader’s team in Gen 9, Armarouge and Ceruledge share another strange characteristic with Bellibolt’s look, as their design makes them stand out from other critters. In the case of Armarouge and Ceruledge, they were quickly compared to Mega Man characters due to their appearance and the fact that the former’s attacks turn its shoulders into a cannon. As for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet’s Bellibolt, although the pocket monster is being addressed as cute by some fans, its design still makes it a meme more than it makes it a legit Pokemon....
