Gerard FortuneHOST
Date is in place.
Gerard FortuneHOST
Pokemon Company announced plans to shut down service for developer Timmy Studio Group.
Gerard FortuneHOST
By this time, service ends.
Gerard FortuneHOST
Pokemon Unite will be nearly six years old, debuted on Nintendo Switch in July before being ported to iOS.
Chris NaghibiHOST
It's not a hobby anymore, even though I think people still attribute that to it.
Chris NaghibiHOST
The Pokemon Company's fiscal year ended in February.
Chris NaghibiHOST
Sales, 531 billion yen, about $3.5 billion, up 29%, four and a half times what they were five years ago.
Chris NaghibiHOST
They printed roughly 10 billion cards in 12 months.
28 MINS LATER
Chris NaghibiHOST
And the marginal buyer's spare cash is the thing that goes first.
Chris NaghibiHOST
Now, look at 2026.
Chris NaghibiHOST
The Pokemon company printed 10 billion cards.
Chris NaghibiHOST
Fanatics printed 1.26 million of each base card.
Steve SarumiHOST
Unless there was an unintentional bug that Scopely would not admit to, there would be no reason for them to change the shiny odds of a community day for a specific Pokemon.
BobbyHOST
yeah that'd probably be a pokemon company decision anyway so like
Steve SarumiHOST
yeah
BobbyHOST
so why would they change that now right now
32 MINS LATER
AustinHOST
Yeah.
AustinHOST
No, yeah, you're right.
Steve SarumiHOST
I don't know who at the Pokemon Company keeps giving us Greedent propaganda.
Steve SarumiHOST
Well, technically, I think Greedent's a girl in Pokeopia.
Al BowersHOST
And this is the set headlined by Mega Rayquaza EX, along with Mega Golark EX, Mega Malamar EX, and Mega Golosapode EX.
Al BowersHOST
The Pokemon Company says the set has more than 135 cards, with 6 Pokemon EX, 4 Mega Evolution Pokemon EX, 3 Legendary Stadium Pairs, 14 Illustration Rares, 17 Ultra Rares, and 6 SIR and Support Cards.
Al BowersHOST
The legendary stadium thing is still one of the most interesting mechanics in the set, right? These are stadiums that come in two halves, and you need both cards to create the full stadium.
Al BowersHOST
When you put them side by side, the artwork connects, which is just very cool.
10 MINS LATER
Al BowersHOST
We're going to get to that when we talk about Gold Mew.
Al BowersHOST
And finally, this one isn't exactly TCG news, but there's no way I'm skipping it considering how many of you apparently listen from the United Kingdom.
Al BowersHOST
The Pokemon Company officially announced this week that a permanent physical Pokemon store is coming to London, not just some temporary pop-up, permanent.
Al BowersHOST
It's currently scheduled to open by 2029, and no exact location has been announced yet.
GalatradHOST
And we've been continuing to do that, hoping to finish off Breath of the Wild before October and then spend all of October playing either Luigi's Mansion 3 or Metroid Dread.
GalatradHOST
Or, in a perfect world, Pokemon Company and Nintendo Y'all will announce that Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald are coming to the Game Boy Nintendo Switch Online, and then I can start playing those.
GalatradHOST
Yeah,
BexHOST
that's true.
Joseph BirdsongHOST
Like that just opens it up to everything.
Sam AntonioliHOST
Well, so this sounds familiar because I, a while ago, there was a partnership between the Pokemon Company and like some aquariums across the world.
Sam AntonioliHOST
And I think the Seattle Aquarium was one of them.
Sam AntonioliHOST
And I don't remember what the collab was, but I think it was something kind of along this line.
Ashley CoffeyHOST
The fallout.
Ashley CoffeyHOST
Organizations pulled their own sites offline as a precaution, including UK Council's London Metropolitan Police, government sites in the Netherlands, Finland, Denmark, and Germany, Nintendo and the Pokemon Company, and BambooHR, the HR software.
Ashley CoffeyHOST
The AI twist here, though.
Ashley CoffeyHOST
Wiz Research found the bugs, which had been hiding for more than a decade using frontier AI models, which were Gemini 4 Argon and GPT 5.6 Sol, plus its own AI system built to hunt vulnerabilities.
Kevin WilliamsHOST
This included the licensed amusement piece Miraculous, based on the cartoon IP.
Kevin WilliamsHOST
Speaking of the importance of IP in amusement and the Pokemon Company caused a stir with a low-key but big push appearance at GTI Expo China last month.
Kevin WilliamsHOST
On the WAHLAP technology booth, the company showed Pokémon Spot.
Kevin WilliamsHOST
The game represented a major development in amusement for the global brand, departing from a slew of collectible card battler games, collectible card-vended table games, and offering a unique interactive outing, with players' smartphones syncing up to a screen terminal which represents Pokémon to launch balls at and compete to collect.
Kevin WilliamsHOST
A first time for the idea of a smart app, sync-and-play game.
Kevin WilliamsHOST
the big presentation but low promotion from WAHLAP, suggesting this may only be a Pokemon Company China property, not to see Western placement.
Kevin WilliamsHOST
returning to IAAPA Europe and ACE Amusement, represented also on the UDC booth, had their own booth space at the London show, with the selection of titles chosen for Western representation from those that we reported on at AAA 26.
Kevin WilliamsHOST
Of this selection, the production version of Hover Rush jumped out at us, with slick graphics and an energetic motion seat.
MattHOST
And sometimes the decisions that...
MattHOST
Maybe it's TPCI or Scopely.
MattHOST
What they make with the battle systems can be a little...
HoviHOST
lackluster
Igarashi JunCORRESPONDENT
It's pushed the companies themselves to take action.
Igarashi JunCORRESPONDENT
In August, the Pokemon Company introduced a new authentication system for online purchases.
Igarashi JunCORRESPONDENT
Users are now encouraged to confirm their identity using their My Number card, a national Japanese ID.
Igarashi JunCORRESPONDENT
It's seemingly a measure to stop resellers from making multiple accounts.
