Pokémon Sleep gets a new update with more quality of life features added! The Suicune event is here! Pokémon Masters EX celebrates it's fifth anniversary with Lance, Steven, and Cynthia returning in their new Arc Suits. Pokémon GO is finally adding both Galar and Max Raid battles. Niantic also adds a subscription pass, but it's not really a subscription pass still. Finally, we get new trademarks on a Japanese TCG set. Since the TCG usually lines up with current and future games, this makes it seem like Pokémon Legends Z-A will be a Summer 2025 game at the earliest, if not Fall.
