For Pokémon Company head Tsunekazu Ishihara, it's all part of his team's effort to keep users excited and keep the fun flowing.

Rare Article: 3 Unlikely Pokémon to Add to a Rain Dance Team

Hey everyone! SBJ here, back from my vacation at VGCs. I missed all of you! So a couple things going on. First off, we have a new Featured Team, jump over to that to check it out. Secondly, we have a new shirt coming out! If you want to get it before everyone else, go ahead and jump over to our store to check out the pricing! The shirt has not been reviled yet, but I promise it's in the top 10% of shirts out there. Kenny will have a new segment starting next week Tuesday, stay tuned for that. Grey League will be starting July 20th. Please keep in mind Gym Leaders have lives, but anytime after that day your battles will count.
