It gets worse than that: Apparently the game loads THE ENTIRE MAP everytime you enter a cutscene or interior

Imagine being so autistic that you invest thousands of hours into a game and still don't understand how the spe(e)d stat works.

And about as generic and unnecessary to the flow of the game as the "open world" in SV is. Time is a flat circle

With the release of the Switch 2, everything will be fine.

The Pokémon TCG’s Japanese YouTube channel posted the average pull rates for Shiny Treasure ex, the Japanese equivalent of our Paldean Fates set.

This doesn’t really surprise me pull-wise, it’s basically the same pull rate at Shiny Star V but with one non-Rule Box Shiny Pokémon being subbed out for an Art Rare featuring a Shiny Pokémon. Oh, and if you’re wondering why there isn’t a Secret Illurstration Rare or Hyper Rare gold card here it’s because they’re not guaranteed in a box.
Oh, and some Secret Illustration Rares cards, a Hyper Rare card, and the existence of “God Packs” in the set have also been “leaked” by Japanese fans online.

Mew ex’s Secret Illustration Rare was revealed and it’s the exact same one from the leak. This is one of the few leaks I was hoping to be fake. Oh, and Secret Illustration Rare Dark Tera Charizard ex was revealed a while ago too.

Iono’s also getting a Secret Illustration Rare in the set, expect that one to be just as expensive as the Secret Illustration Rare Dark Tera Charizard ex if not higher.

Clive, a new Supporter card that’s being introduced in Shiny Treasure ex, also got a Secret Illustration Rare.

The Hyper Rare that was leaked is a reprint of Koraidon ex from SV’s base set. It’s been confirmed that there will be six Hyper Rare cards in our version of Shiny Treasure ex so that means one of them should be Miraidon ex from SV’s base set as well (the other four are unknown). It’s been confirmed that we’re getting a “raised” holofoil effect (an example of such a thing is found in the linked article) for these new Hyper Rares so I assume the same is true for the Japanese cards as well.

EDIT: A video obtained by Pokébeach shows off the raised holo effect and revealed one of the other Hyper Rares to be Chi-Yu ex. This may confirm that the Hyper Rares for both Shiny Treasure ex and Paldean Fates will be Koraidon ex, Miraidon ex, Chi-yu ex, Chien-Pao ex, Wo-Chien ex, and Ting-Lu ex.

Serebii released a "preview" of the Indigo Disk DLC today that mostly amounts to his autisitc Bri'ish ass narrating him jumping over grassy plains for 10 minutes. I didn't bother to watch the video- just read the write-up instead, so here are some highlights of that after a video link for those who do have the patience to watch instead of read

I didn't watch the video but I will give some insights into the bullet points you listed.
  • The "finding Tera Shards in the double digits as overworld items" thing is something I was kind of expecting since you get the Shard Charm for completing the Kitakami Pokédex, although I will agree it makes changing your Pokémon's Tera Type less of a grind if you're not a fan of Tera Raids.
  • The bit about pit stops doesn't surprise me since Serebii put the Terarium's size inbetween Kitakami and Paldea, the map is larger but it's still a bit too small for cities and towns.
  • That bit about both forms of Exeggutor being found in the wild isn't too surprising, especially since Serebii also found an Alolan Sandshrew during his play session. I have a feeling that other regional forms will be accessible via The Indigo Disk.
  • The lack of Paldean Pokémon is nice in theory but he clearly didn't explore the biomes enough, if the leaks are true then he missed out on encountering the Rabsca line.
  • No Wild Starter Pokémon being present in the preview was expected, it's worth remembering that there are rumors that the ability to catch them in the wild is tied to a yet-to-be-revealed mission feature.
  • The Indigo Disk being locked behind the completion of the main story and the completion of The Teal Mask's main story shouldn't surprise anyone, it's technically a direct continuation of the storyline introduced in The Teal Mask and ties into a possible third storyline involving Area Zero. It's also worth remembering that The Crown Tundra portion of SWSH's DLC was heavily criticized for being immediately accessible despite not having the same completion-dependent leveling that was present in The Isle of Armor.
  • (This part covers the initial trainer levels and the E4 levels) And there's the reason why GF decided to give The Indigo Disk those completion prerequisites, the levels of standard Trainers are lower than what you'd see during The Way Home (the AI Professors' highest-leveled Pokémon barring Koraidon/Miraidon is at Lv. 67) but these tougher trainers and the Blueberry Academy Elite 4 go beyond that. This isn't even mentioning the fact that the teams are competitive-leaning.
  • Amarys' trial follows the same sort of trials we've seen in the base game and I wouldn't be surprised if the rest of the E4's trials are similar. As far as the Blueberry Academy Elite 4 being tough is concerned I vaguely remember reading this from other influencers posting about their time with the leak that Amarys' team was Trick Room-centric, that'd be enough to throw off a lot of casual players.
  • That's something of a relief but that makes me a bit worried about the The Indigo Disk's length, I'd hate to see be just as long as The Teal Mask's.
  • He's being somewhat vague on the moves (I suspect TPCi doesn't want him to blab abut it too much) so I can't give a more detailed response.
  • The Terarium's wild battle theme being a remix of Unova's wild battle theme is nice. As far as shout outs to past regions is concerned I'm not too bothered by them if they're subtle about it or if they optional.
  • The whole "SV performance bad, plz fix NAO!" shtick is getting annoying at this point, the performance issues are deeply rooted into the game and can't be fixed without completely remaking it.

For those of you who are still playing Pokémon GO Niantic recently announced 2024’s GO Tour and, to no one’s surprise, it’s Sinnoh-themed. The Global version will take place on February 24th & 25th and an in-person event will be held in Los Angeles the week before.

Oh, and Pokébeach put out a list of the top 15 most valuable cards in Shiny Treasure ex.
  1. Iono (SAR): 60,000 yen ($405)
  2. Charizard ex (SAR): 30,000 yen ($203)
  3. Gardevoir ex (SAR): 17,000 yen ($115)
  4. Penny (SAR): 16,000 yen ($109)
  5. Mew ex (SAR): 14,000 yen ($95)
  6. Pikachu (S): 12,000 yen ($81)
  7. Mimikyu (AR): 7,000 yen ($48)
  8. Nemona (SAR): 6,000 yen ($41)
  9. Clive (SAR): 4,000 yen ($27)
  10. Arven (SAR): 3,500 yen ($24)
  11. Charmander (S): 3,000 yen ($20)
  12. Miraidon ex (UR): 3,000 yen ($20)
  13. Charizard ex (SSR): 3,000 yen ($20)
  14. Mew ex (SSR): 2,800 yen ($19)
  15. Mimikyu (S): 2,500 yen ($17)
  16. Pawmi (AR): 2,200 yen ($15)
And here’s my take on it.
Iono being the most expensive of the bunch isn’t too surprising, the card is a tournament staple and the Secret Illustration Rare from Clay Burst/Paldea Evolved is still expensive ~6 months after they were released.

On the topic of prices don’t expect that cards from the English version of the set will go for the same price. I wouldn’t be surprised if the English Secret Illustration Rares go for anywhere between half-to-a-fourth of what the Japanese cards are going for. Some Shiny Rares like Charmander and Pikachu will probably be one-to-one price wise but the rest should be cheaper.

The title of the article mentioning a Top 15 but proceeding to list 16 looks weird but it makes sense when you realize that the Shiny Mimikyu Illustration Rare is being plucked from the main set and turned into an ETB promo.

The usage of Mercari as a source is funky at best, a better source would be Yahoo! Japan’s auctions or using eBay’s recently-sold listings.
