Introducing the Pokémon TCG Pocket 3D Card Database! 🖼
➡️ https://t.co/eBwMCXt6ct
At Centro Pokémon we really care about preserving the history of Pokémon. We have been covering Pokémon news for over 20 years now, and as we saw with yesterday's announcement of Pokémon UNITE shutting down, nothing lasts forever.
That's why over the last few months we have been hard at work on a very special project that is the first of its kind on the whole internet, this is not just another Pokémon TCG Pocket card dex, but the most complete one that includes the 3D animations of every single card from the game, and all data in every single language that the game supports.
We have been obsessed with the small details so that every card renders exactly like they do in-game and we're very proud of what we've accomplished. Apart from viewing every single card and expansion, you will also be able to see and download all the clean illustrations for all cards in the game.
The Pokémon TCG Pocket 3D Card database is available now in https://t.co/eBwMCXt6ct including the latest Dual Fusion cards. We hope you enjoy it as much we have enjoyed building it over the last few months.
Nintendo has released firmware update 23.5.0 for Switch 2 which fixes the exploit that allowed userland-level homebrew.
We think things may go quiet for a while, a long while even. With the exploit fixed future games like Pokémon Winds & Waves won’t be able to be datamined or dumped.
Also a very important clarification: even if a kernel exploit is discovered this won’t allow CFW with emuMMC like on Switch 1, as Switch 2 has a lower level security chip called the PSC (Platform Security Controller) which now also has to be defeated, massively increasing the difficulty level.
Today is a monumental day. Someone has provided a full dump of the Pokémon Dream World. 4.6 GB of data. After years of work, we are now just a few steps away from the Dream World Revival Project reaching completion… stay tuned 👀
New Pokémon Winds & Waves rumors:
- Megas are not coming back
- Charcadet is getting a new evolution
- Oricorio is getting 2 new forms
- Gyms are supposed to be completed in a fixed order
- Procedural generation is still used in the game

[New leaks 🚨] Pokémon Winds / Waves delay and anime hiatus:
- The decision to delay Winds & Waves from November 2026 to November 2027 was made at the very last moment in January, the games just weren’t ready yet.
- This caused a huge amount of scheduling issues across all The Pokémon Company’s projects.
- The anime is the most affected as the original plan was to end Pokémon Horizons in episode 136 but TPC convinced the anime producers to make an extra arc to tease Gen 10 with Navi having Konetsu.
- However due to the last minute delay they had to scrap a lot of their plans for the Gen 10 arc and replace Konetsu with Ditto.
- The Pokémon anime will go on hiatus starting on March 2027 until around September/October 2027.
- The reworked Gen 10 arc in Pokémon Horizons will now debut late 2027 and have around 25 episodes.
- Pre-production on the next Pokémon anime is underway however due to all delays it’s not expected to launch before 2029.
- Ash is not planned to come back, the new series will again focus on all regions.

4/4 Digital is rising slowly. It was 61.5% of Nintendo's software sales in Apr-Jun, +2.2pts YoY from 59.3%. It moves around by quarter (46.1% to 67.2% in the past year) because of big physical launches. Jul-Sep comes out with Thursday's results.
Nintendo’s main provider of game cartridges is quitting the business.
It’s expected this make Game Key Cards even more prevalent on Switch 2 and accelerate the transition to digital.
1/4 Nintendo's main memory chip maker is quitting the Switch business
Macronix, which makes the ROM chips in Switch 1 and Switch 2 game memory cards, is phasing out that business. There will be no new ROM products, and Q3 is the last quarter it reports ROM sales separately.
3/4 My view: Macronix isn't Nintendo's only game memory card maker, so physical cards will likely carry on for some time. But at the margin, digital will grow, through more Game-Key Cards (which hold a download key, not the game) and digital-only sales.
A Switch 2 mod loader has been released! Now you can play and test mods on real hardware!
SM64 Mario on hardware looks great! I can’t believe I have my mod running on my own Switch 2!
