Even beyond the difference in style, with SV going for a more realistic art style for the Pokémon, the colour contrast difference between Z-A and SV is also massive.

And it's done. All native Pokémon Legends: Z-A Shiny images are now up on Serebii.
Sorry it took so long...it's an arduous task to make sure the resize matches the normal one...then I accidentally wrong the batch script and overwrote a few dozen of them so had to redo them.

Huge thanks to TPCi for bringing me to the Pokémon TCG Pocket experience at Outernet London
It was such a cool thing that they set up and they even played DJ Pikachu’s set during it

Ok so just to clarify something as I've seen a few tweets go wide and some people are under the impression Diancie will give you more Mega Shards if you use it to destroy Crystals
This isn't the case. What happens is the ones from the battle get stored in a buffer and given next time

The superficial level cap raise to enter Hyperspace Lumiose is a great way to get a general form of balance for post-post-game content so people aren't overlevelled already.
Curious to see how it plays out

From the looks of it I'm not sure how mapping of Hyperspace Lumiose will work.
But, I'm apparently a cartographer now. I WILL make it work

Seen a few people think the Pokémon Legends Z-A DLC will shadow drop today.
This is incredibly unlikely; we just had the 1.0.2 update today. If we were to get the DLC, we'd have had the 2.0.0 update which includes the DLC and no bug fix update.

They completely changed the Ranked Battle rewards table. Now it includes Apricorn Balls if you rank well!

Gradually going through and adding native Pokémon Legends Z-A Shiny images through Serebii now.
It's taking longer than I thought but is what it is. Should hopefully be done by the weekend

Here's the current Pokémon sales chart for games with the new figures.
SV increased by just shy of half a million which is good for a Jun-September quarter this deep into its life
Z-A's sales here cover just four days. Next update is due in February

So I was obviously covering a game during Serebii's 26th birthday but now I'm done so let's do a small celebration stream and let's talk about Pokémon Legends: Z-A and our thoughts on the coming year!

Fun fact: In Pokémon Legends: Z-A, there was a slight reclassification of Special Pokémon which gave the capability for Pokémon to be in two categories of Special Pokémon
Currently, there's only two. Koraidon & Miraidon are both "Restricted" Legendary & Paradox now.

A friend managed to get me codes for the Pokémon Center birthday distributions starting today in Japan: Fidough for Pokémon Scarlet & Violet and Audino for Pokémon Legends: Z-A
The second Cherish Ball distribution for Z-A!

My gift to myself for a job well done for Legends Z-A coverage is downloading ahead of next week.
I can already tell I am going to end up putting hundreds of hours into this game

I have been enjoying my time with Pokémon Legends: Z-A and really want to play more
But my gosh this game has a bit of a post-game problem.
It makes sense since it's an X & Y sequel so it fits right in there haha, but there's just little to do other than Ranked.
Roll on DLC.

Just did an implementation of the interactive map on every Pokémon's location page in Serebii's Gen 9 Pokédex; click details next to the location and you'll get brought to the map where you can get a filter solely for that species
