Latest Pokémon News: Players furious over Shadow Raid leaks, NFT hints in equal parts
In the midst of all the criticism that is directed Pokemon Gos Pay-to-play content, the community is torn over leaks that suggest Shadow Raids with pay-to-play tickets could be coming soon.
In other news, Glimmora has risen through the ranks Pokemon scarlet And Violet VGC to the point where his dominance was one of the biggest upsets of the Vancouver Regionals.
Meanwhile the Pokemon The company appears to be exploring the prospect of developing under-brand NFTs, and as expected, longtime fans of the franchise aren’t thrilled.
Shadow Raids could be coming soon Pokemon Gobut they will not be free
PokéMiners were on the ball to discover new tracks Pokemon Go Content over the years, and they claim they’ve found evidence that a new breed of raids called Shadow Raids, which as the name suggests revolve around Shadow Pokémon, could be coming soon.
Unsurprisingly, however, they believe the events will be paid events, meaning players will have to pay a fee to enter, which is a shame as they will allow players to find Shadow Pokémon more often catch them while earning extra XP for their efforts.
Because of this, and the fact that pay-to-play content has been released more frequently in recent years, the community is torn. The raids and all their perks sound great appealing to somewhile others fear it might require specific ticketsmaking it an expensive investment.
Glimmora is now apparently meta
VGC fans expected Paradox-types like Flutter Mane, Iron Hands, Iron Bundle, and Great Tusk, as well as regulars like Dragonite, Arcanine, and Paladin, to dominate the meta at Vancouver Regionals.
Most of the time, they were on the ball. However, there was one unexpected Pokemon that ended up being more impactful than all the others – Glimmora, which appeared on two top teams despite being relatively unused prior to the tournament.
On paper, it ticks all the right boxes. His Toxic Debris ability, which triggers Toxic Spikes when hit by physical movement, looked incredibly effective in the current meta. This is because enemy Pokemon that are brought into battle are immediately Poisoned. Glimmora also has plenty of special attacks, allowing him to deal a ton of damage with the right moves.
Given how effective it looked at the Vancouver Regionals, there’s a good chance we’ll see it reappear at the Charlotte Regionals and possibly beyond, depending on how the meta changes.
Pokemon NFT? No thanks, say the fans
The Pokemon The company has posted a job ad suggesting it is looking for collaborators to help them create non-fungible tokens (NFTs) in the near future, and fans have reservations about it.
NFTs are controversial for a number of reasons, including how easy it can be to circumvent copyright, the fact that their value depends on an unregulated and speculative market, and they have been used in a pyramid scheme-like manner.
It’s hard to imagine that Pokemon The company will use them maliciously. However, in the eyes of some fans, that means it could be the case “dark times ahead” that could turn away from yourself and others.
