Since Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket went live, there has always been a "Trade" button sitting right there in the community hub, disabled, but with a promise that it would be coming soon. Fans around the world were wondering how the free-to-play game was going to approach the potential problems. It was expected that there were going to be some limits in place in order to keep the game's monetization factors rolling. Now that it is live, what ended up being implemented has been nearly universally negatively received by the player base.

Wow, this week's episode of Pokémon Horizons was fire—no pun intended! The animation team sure put a lot of love and effort into this fight from the mysteriousness of Gouging Fire to how the battle was played out. I really loved how it appeared in front of the group. It was all mysterious and full of wonder. Then, the twist of it taking the Hero's Belt came off as a surprise to me. Though, I did like that the penultimate Hero Pokémon gave them a challenge in order to prove their worth. I did like that everyone from Rystal to the kids believed it was Entei because it looked like one until Briar points out that it is a Paradox Pokémon. This means that Rystal and Lucius just thought it was one unusual looking Entei, as they were never aware of Paradox Pokémon. The flashback with it and Lucius was hilarious, because who would’ve thought that the menacing Pokémon that gave the kids their hardest challenge yet was all playful with Lucius.
