You know what, I really hope they DON'T announce Pokkén 2 in the Pokémon Presents tomorrow.

Staff team of my first EUIC vs my sixth EUIC A bit different

YouTube views on the EUIC VG Masters finals has already overtaken last year's World Championship finals in less than two days... It's a really fantastic match, good watch if you have any interest at all in VGC! #PlayPokemon #PokemonEUIC

I always say that the atmosphere in the audience during the VG Masters Finals is my favourite part of every event, but this one was a whole new high! #PlayPokemon #PokemonEUIC

Last day of the Pokémon European International Championships today! The scale and variety of things to do has been even more than usual this time #PlayPokemon #PokemonEUIC

Really splashing out at the #PokemonEUIC Pokémon Centre

When tourists visiting London say they’ve hired a rental car because they don’t like public transport

I'm so accustomed to going to Europe for tournaments... Prepping to go to London for EUIC and started to check I have my passport, boarding pass for my flights, some power adapters and some local currency for emergencies.. ... Then remembered I'm English and am going by train so I don't need that

It’s been 3,000 years! (And 37 packs) #PokemonTCGPocket

Happy Valentine's Day! I wish I could be as "Attract"ive as Stunfisk!

That was fast. #ShinyPokemon #PokemonScarletViolet

😡: Thinking Game Freak should improve in-person competitive play by bringing back battle box locking and LAN play ☺️: Thinking Game Freak should improve in-person competitive play by bringing back Battle Arenas and music tracks that only show up at the World Championships

This probably isn’t the developers’ top priority (although it should be), but I’d love to see the Bluesky app have an option to switch to the Julian calendar for those of us who reject the lies of Pope Gregory XIII

Today I learned Quake on Switch has keyboard and mouse support Clearly Game Freak are missing a trick by not also doing this with Pokémon games to appeal to hardcore PC gamers

Started playing Little Kitty Big City It feels a lot like A Short Hike and Lil Gatr Game. If that is now its own genre of games then it is my favourite genre.

Happy Birthday Mewtwo!

I've never seen Squid Game but I assume it's a documentary about the Splatoon esports circuit.

When you realise it learns Momento and prepare for that 🥰 #PokemonScarletViolet

Bri’ish cuisine. Best in’t world. #PokemonScarletViolet

The Beatles movie should cast Elijah Wood, Sean Astin, Billy Boyd and Dominic Monaghan as the fab four Just to come full circle with The Beatles wanting to do a Lord of the Rings movie in the 60s

Controller for yesterday’s VG Challenge I’m told it wasn’t disruptive enough :( will need to try harder to be a pain in the bum in future

Ordered these just yesterday, arrived this morning. Doesn’t seem on brand for SLOWking But… maybe the mailman was operating in Trick Room 🤔

My approach to teambuilding in VGC #PlayPokemon

Me when I play in a VG Challenge

The fact that I'm currently looking at Eviolite Gligar, looking at its calcs and genuinely feeling like it could be a top meta threat is probably why I judge VGC now instead of playing

People ready for set 2? #PokemonTCGPocket

Attention #PlayPokemon competitors! Registration for the 🇬🇧 Europe International Championships will reopen Thursday, January 30 at 7:00 pm GMT with very limited spots for TCG, VG, and GO. Registration links can be found at https://rk9.gg/event/pokemon-euic-2025.

It's really impressive that despite Nintendo calling it "Switch 2" specifically to remove any doubt that it's a full sequel console and not just a slight enhancement like a New 3DS or PS5 Pro People are still claiming that it's just a slight enhancement like a New 3DS or PS5 Pro

1. Yesterday, Trump's executive order crossed a new line. No longer are the NYT Op-eds, thin veneers of pseudoscience, and false claims about trans people needed to justify discrimination. We enter an era where our humanity itself is officially questioned. Subscribe to support my journalism.

Proposal: Instead of using paper pairings or requiring players to all have internet connection, Pokémon tournaments should simply take photos of every single player and have the largest cinema screen on earth to display pairings like in the anime #PlayPokemon

Yeah, I watch the One Piece Live Action The One Piece Live Action: www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqeN...

San Antonio must be the culinary capital of America, with how much the Day 2 players at the #PlayPokemon VGC Regionals are cooking...

Beep boop, target acquired #PokemonScarletViolet #ShinyPokemon

In Double Battles, Bisharp should only be able to attack opponent's Pokémon that are on the opposite side from it Because Bishops can only move diagonally.
