In Masahiro Sakurai’s latest column in Famitsu, the Super Smash Bros. director detailed more positives and negatives of working from home. During this period, he’s realized that suddenly making a home environment into a work environment is easier said than done, noting that it’s hard to work efficiently without proper ergonomic seating, desk space, and partitioning.

Sakurai decided to do what he could to help all the staff members working from home, as he described in the column, via our translation:

Namcot Collection

In North America and Europe, Namcot Collection will be offered as the Namco Museum Archives Vol 1 and 2. Both are due out in the west on June 18.

Lycanroc

Rockruff was first introduced in Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon. In those games, depending on the version you had, it could evolve into different forms of Lycanroc. These Pokemon have now finally returned in Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield as part of today’s new Isle of Armor DLC. Thankfully, it looks like you don’t have to purchase both games in order to obtain the pair of evolution forms.

Rockruff now evolves into Lycanroc Midday or Midnight depending on the time of day only. That’s all there is to it – there’s no version exclusivity.

As a reminder, Rockruff has a third evolution form. You can get your hands on the Dusk Form if Rockruff has the ability “Own Tempo” and having it evolve at dusk. Dusk Form Lycanroc has a rare chance of showing up in a Max Raid Battle in Pokemon Sword/Shield, though you can also go the breeding route or move it over if you happen to own one in the 3DS games.
