Pokémon fans, this is your cue to shuffle your decks and mark your calendars. The Poké Court , the cult-favorite NYC card shop known for its viral red envelopes and cramped-but-charming second-story hideaway, is leveling up. On November 1, the store will debut a brand-new, 2,000-square-foot flagship in Chelsea, less than five minutes from Chelsea Market and not far from their current tiny location.

The new Pokémon + 100 Thieves '25 Collection brings the adventurous world of Pokémon into the contemporary streetwear space with precision design, nostalgic artistry, and a dose of modern swagger. This second collaboration deepens the creative relationship between two cultural forces that, while rooted in different worlds, share an obsession with world-building, storytelling, and fan devotion. 100 Thieves continues to expand its influence beyond gaming, while Pokémon - a franchise built on evolution and adventure - brings an unmistakable emotional connection that spans generations.

The leaks have begun circulating through leak accounts, and include details and concepts for five upcoming games, and a loose timeline for the next five to six years of development. But keep in mind that even if these projects are at some stage of development at Game Freak, pipelines shift, ideas can be scaled back from their initial concepts, and some of these games could be internally canceled and never formally announced.

For several months now, US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has been posting ghoulish social media videos celebrating the agency's ramped-up immigration raid efforts. For its latest propaganda, ICE is appealing to a younger audience by setting a video of arrests to the Pokémon anime theme song. Not only was the clip posted to the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) X/Twitter, but it was also uploaded to the official White House TikTok account.

Remember when Tamagotchis ruled the world? Those little digital pets taught us the pain of responsibility through pixelated death, and frankly, we've been chasing that high ever since. Virtual pets have evolved dramatically since those monochrome days, but most attempts feel like footnotes in gaming history. The formula needed something bigger, something with actual emotional investment and brand recognition that could pull normies and nerds alike into the same obsessive care-taking loop.
