Pokemon Sword/Shield producer Junichi Masuda, in an interview with Polygon, said he told late Nintendo president Satoru Iwata that the Big N should make a “hardware platform that people can enjoy together.” Masuda noted the following when asked if Switch is pulling Game Freak onto consoles:

Posted on 5 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in Mobile, News | 0 comments
New one-time purchase boxes are starting to appear in Pokemon GO. Currently, these aren’t live in all countries yet, but should start to show up fairly soon. Prices vary by region, but these boxes cost comparatively little money for the items they offer. It seems like what box is available to you depends on your trainer level. So far, these two variations have been found:
- Beginner Box: 1x Premium Raid Pass, 1x Super Incubator, 30x Poke Balls, 1x Lucky Egg
- New Trainer Box: 4x Premium Raid Pass, 4x Super Incubator, 30x Poke Balls, 3x Lucky Egg
