A couple things
First up - Capachu has swapped over to the Sinnoh Cap. Code is still PIKACHU20. Next week it swaps over to Kalos, and then the week after is the final SM cap, the Alolan Cap... And the week after that, being the showings of the new Pokemon movie, the QR Code for getting the seventh Cap in USUM should be available.
Second - Marshadow codes ~should~ now be available everywhere. There's a HUGE variety of where and how to get, depending on your country, so I won't attempt to make a huge list, as I'll definitely miss something. Bulbapedia has a couple decent lists on their various "Serial Codes by region/generation" pages, and for those in some European regions that may be missing info, it's always worth scrolling down to the Lycanroc/Salazzle distros, and checking places that had those, as I noticed the other day that they don't have a full list up. I can probably grab a couple Europe codes if there are people who are desperate.
Third - Corocoro has started leaking, and there's more USUM details included, so we may get a new trailer/reveal later this week... Now, won't mention the contents of Corocoro until it officially releases/TPC release the info on their social media channels, but Serebii has got some info and translations up - nothing quite as exciting or story-focused as the previous news releases, but maybe still interesting.
Which ties into the topic of spoilers, and what constitutes a "spoiler" - it's something that many people view differently. In my case, something is a spoiler if it hasn't been announced by the relevant company yet (so, if a new Pokemon game contains a, I dunno, cheese Pokemon, I wouldn't see it spoiler-y to talk about it if they had released the info, through trailers, or adding it to their site, about it before I encountered it in the game. Now, if we get to the game release and they didn't put out the info themselves... Then, yeah, I'd consider that a spoiler, until they do or a couple months have passed to let the people really bothered about spoilers get a chance to play.). Now, if you're the kinda person who can go cold turkey all the way up to the release, that's cool, but, from what I understand from having friends who do the same for some things, usually it means avoiding ~everywhere~ that might talk about news, forums included?
Anyway, to get back to a Pokemon related discussion topic... With just around five and a half weeks until the release of USUM, what are people thinking? What would they like to see announced?
I saw that a retailer here in the UK (Grainger Games) is doing coins as a preorder bonus again, and I kinda wish I'd gotten Moon from there so I could have had matching Moon coins... Though, my GAME were nice enough to give me both of the preorder figures when I picked up my copy (well, not immediately, I did have to wait until the preorder hold was over), just a little disappointed they're not getting legendary figures again this year, just figures of the starters (and blind-bagged, which is a pain)... Anyway, I'm still excited, as it's another Pokemon adventure, a chance to give a handful more of the new Pokemon a try and also one step closer to Pokemon on Switch and seeing what they'll be able to do with the extra power!
