Pokémon Champions monetization is weird. It has the typical F2P thing where you start out with lots of currency and items, but then it slows to a crawl. The weird thing is that this is true even if you pay.
After 15 hours playing (supposedly), I completed the entire battle pass and got 50 Pokémon, but now it seems like I’ll only be able to get a few Pokémon per week even if I log in and play every day.
I guess it’ll improve in a month when the next battle pass comes out.

A nice blog post that asks "Are there any open APIs left?" (Spoiler: Many have disappeared, but there're still Wikipedia, Google Books ISBN lookup, Pokémon API , MusicBrainz and others)

Was I sitting here at 21:00 PT / 00:00 ET refreshing lego.com just so I could get the silly little Pokémon center reward? You bet I was.
Did I get one? Heck yeah.
All the best to the other fans out there hoping to get their hands on one.

I hate to link to Kokaku, but this story about how some Pokopia players are recreating the Kanto region from the original Pokémon Red and Blue games, such as streamer Quenca, is pretty impressive. They're using Pokopia’s “Palette Town” free creation area to do this: https://kotaku.com/pokem…

Pokémon Pokopia Fans Are Recreating The Red And Blue Map
The game’s free creation area is giving people a lot of freedom to make cool stuff

“[Niantic Spatial]’s latest product is a model that it says can pinpoint your location on a map to within a few centimeters, based on a handful of snapshots of the buildings or other landmarks in view. The firm wants to use it to help robots navigate with greater precision in places where GPS is unreliable.”

Anybody else playing #Pokopia?
Random collection of screenshots I took so far.
For context: Pokopia is a new Nintendo Switch 2 game where you play as Ditto transformed into their human trainer trying to restore post-apocalyptic areas and return Pokémon to them while figuring out where all the humans disappeared to.
