This isn't the first time Monster Energy went after media with Monster in it's name, though none as large as Monster Hunter or Pokemon.
Do they honestly think they're gonna win that dispute? Both of those franchises are significantly older than them.
publicity innit
Yung Dramps
awesome gaming
There has to be some ulterior motive at play. They cannot be delusional enough to think they actually have a chance at winning this
Welp its over, yalls. This franchise is now called Pocket
Well we’re talking about it, seems to be working.
I never had a Monster to begin with, this is not encouraging me to try one. What dunces.

Imagine getting mad at someone for using the same 700-year-old word as you.

Welp I’m more of a Five-Hour Energy fan anyways (technically, a Kirkland Energy Shot fan)
everyone in this world knows that "Monster" is some sort of this weird (and can be creepy) creature first, not some kind of drinks, even a 7 yr. old child thinks that
No wonder why some people confuse the drink over something, like WHO in the world names a drink "Monster" and complains the game from using the word. People these days

Even in 2002 they wouldn't have had a leg to stand on, Monster is a generic English word and Pokémon and Monster Hunter were already both over 5 years old at that point.
isnt monsters slogan like “unleash the ultra beast” or something 
A fair handful of serial codes for Mystery Gift have been released. The free Palafin is nice and the most time-limited, while you have time to spare for the other items.
Some official information on the new turtle revealed in the anime;
There's a little bit more flavour text included on the official website too; https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-gb/news/area_zero_mystery/
"This Pokémon is small in stature and not particularly strong, but when push comes to shove, it can crystallize the energy in its body to form a protective shield. Apparently, it can also assume a dormant state when it feels that its life is in danger by pulling its head, limbs, and tail into its shell and making itself look like a jewel."

Please be a Kubfu and not a Zygarde Cell case, non-playable mons are never funny, and we had enough this gen with Revavroom.
I guess it could also be a Carbink situation, where they are only related in lore, but you can't actually turn one into the other in game.
But I just want this to be a preevo with non-existent stats for OM reasons :c

I'm glad that after getting shut out of any representation in base SV turtles are getting their due in the DLC.
If baby turtle is a prevo I hope it is more like Kubfu than Cosmog, having some actual utility instead of being a living mcguffin until the climax of the story. I would love it if eviolite baby turtle was somehow viable in VGC.
My only issue with it being a prevo is needing two (or more if there is more to the line...) for a living dex.

Something tells me it might be more Cosmog just because it is literally a living mcguffin judging by the anime
