We hope to see you all stick around for the coming changes with Pokemon Home!

We all give you a huge thanks for your time and support navigating these past two generations and wish the best for the future. As for council additions, hariyana grande has been added to the UU council. If you haven't said your congratulations yet, be sure to do so!
