Pokémon fans are all buzzing with the latest news from Pokémon GO and a hot update on trading cards. Let’s dive into the details.
Big News for Pokémon TCG Collectors
Pokémon TCG enthusiasts, get ready! The much-loved Full Art and Illustrator Rare cards are making a huge comeback. Fans spotted full art Oinkolone ex and Illustrator Rare Wiglett and Sandile cards, causing quite the excitement. These special cards, known for their unique artwork and rarity, are now back in the spotlight.
Pokémon GO Players Speak Out
In Pokémon GO updates, there’s talk about an irritating pop-up. This pop-up, linked to new size variants, takes up too much screen space. Many players find it pointless. But that’s not all. Two lucky trainers hit the jackpot by trading Shiny Moltres for Shiny Inkay, which both turned lucky and perfect IVs, or ‘Hundos’. The chances? One in 4.6 million.
New Cards on the Horizon
Exciting times are ahead for card collectors. The Japanese version of Oinkolone ex just hit the internet. It showcases the pig Pokémon in a fresh art style. Also, new Illustrator Rares for Wiglett and Sandile are coming. The Wiglett card bursts with colors, while Sandile’s card captures the croc in sand. These cards launch in Japan on January 20 and elsewhere on March 31.
Screen Space Saga
Niantic introduced size variants to Pokémon GO. What many didn’t see coming was an annoying pop-up for catching XXS and XXL Pokémon. This new pop-up, showing a “New Size Record”, covers half the mobile screen. While most players bash this feature as “awful” and “useless”, others don’t mind. Nonetheless, a debate is on. Some even suspect Niantic is prepping us for future pop-up ads.
Lucky Trainers Making Headlines
Two trainers, PokeMaster Marcello and Gareth Morton, are living proof of incredible luck. They traded Shiny Moltres for Shiny Inkay, and hit the lucky and ‘Hundo’ jackpot. Meanwhile, Gareth aims to complete a living Lucky Pokédex. He’s almost there, with just Lucky Kecleon left on his list.
Pokémon fans, from card collectors to GO players, have plenty to talk about. Whether it’s exciting new finds or debating game features, the community is buzzing. And sometimes, luck strikes when you least expect it, turning routine trades into remarkable stories.
