To kick off 2026, Build-A-Bear has revealed Ponyta as its next Pokemon collaboration. The creature will be offered with a new plush.

The Department of Homeland Security has issued a public statement as to why it’s been using popular gaming franchises such as Pokemon to promote its activities.

Last month, the DHS put up a video which included the theme song from the Pokemon anime as well as some interstitial cuts from the show and mock-ups of trading cards for some ICE arrests. That prompted a response, in which The Pokemon Company said it wasn’t involved at all.

As more information comes online through a previous Game Freak hack, we now have insight into some behind-the-scenes happenings at the studio, including why Junichi Masuda is no longer directing Pokemon games.

You may recall that in 2018, Masuda indicated he was pretty much done with the role following Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu and Eevee. That has largely been the case – with Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl as exceptions.

Pokemon Gen 10 Pokemon Wind Waves

Rayquaza pronunciation

There’s only one correct way to say Rayquaza’s name, but it turns out that it’s one of the most mispronounced Pokemon.

During the 2025 Pokemon World Championships this weekend, one of the intermissions focused on the creature. It turns out that the correct pronunciation was provided here. So if you’re wondering how to pronounce Rayquaza, it’s ray-KWAY-zuh.
