Pokémon GO announces some new events, more details about Unova Tour, and the dates for the 2025 GO Fest this year. Pokémon Center announces the Year of Eevee, to mostly likely just sell more merch. Pokémon (in Japan) trademarks two new names, “Mega Brave” and “Mega Symphonia," which is mostly likely for the TCG, but can be related to Legends Z-A. We talk about the two upcoming TCG sets and how both are sold out.
