This event is more than a regular in-game activity, serving as a digital celebration of the Nintendo Switch 2, set to launch on June 5. This three-day event perfectly binds Pokémon's past and future while putting the spotlight on a creature that has long been a symbol of tech advances for the series. Beyond Nostalgia: Porygon as a Symbol Porygon was introduced in the original Pokémon Red and Blue and, more than anything, stands as a representation of digital progress within the world of Pokémon. At first, Porygon was a rare and strange Pokémon to obtain, a prize in the Game Corner; now, it has grown in both popularity and lore-traditions with two evolutions: Porygon2 and Porygon-Z. 3 DAYS ONLY Porygon "Nintendo Switch 2" Outbreak Event in Pokemon Scarlet Violet This Mass Outbreak is not just a nostalgic wink; it breathes thematic relevance in the shape of a new gaming era. The angular design and bright colors of Porygon say just as much about the Joy-Con controllers of both the original Switch and the new one, whilst ushering in this time of change. More Opportunities, More Shiny Potential The real allure for fans and collectors is the heightened possibility of shiny Porygon. Such limited-time outbreaks act as rare biomes spanning across all the major regions in the game, without the need for DLC Hidden Treasure of Area Zero. Trainers just need to link to the net, have the Poké Portal News up to date, and straight away into the hunt they go.

And maybe this time, it will shine just a little bit brighter. A Glimpse Into Future Timing isn't random: A performance update for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet on Switch 2 is launching alongside the new hardware. With this patch, higher frame rates, and better visuals are guaranteed, further evidencing Nintendo's commitment to polishing the latest iteration of this franchise as it settles onto new hardware. In more ways than one, this Porygon outbreak marks that occasion: a battery. By celebrating a Pokémon entrenched in digital lore to herald a hardware evolution, Game Freak and The Pokémon Company are finally ushering us into the era where Pokémon is not just about catching creatures; it is about growing alongside the technology that makes those adventures possible. With very little time left for Switch 2, there's a chance that the players of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet will actively take part in a digital goodbye-and-welcome by way of one of the most classic and technically inspired Pokémon of the franchise.

Pokémon Is About To Make So Much Money On Life-Sized Eeveelution Plushies
Due to some questionable picks, the Pokémon Company's life-size plush line has often been the subject of meme fodder. The helpful Lucario plush is here to steal your wife by doing the household chores you neglect. The Porygon is big enough to be a piece of furniture. And, well, what do you need a life-sized Gardevoir plush for? But sometimes, the choices make perfect sense. The next life-sized Pokémon plush won't be just one of these critters; it will be nine—all nine Eevee evolutions, to be exact. Eevee is one of the most popular Pokémon in the series. Part of what makes the little fox-like creature so beloved is that it can evolve into one of eight (for now) forms, based on different energies. Everyone has a different favorite 'Eeveelution' and there are a lot of fans who love the whole line so much that they'll buy all of their merchandise in a set. Well those sickos better be ready to pay a pretty penny for the life-sized Eevee evolution plushies. At the moment, the nine plushies have only been announced for sale on the Japanese Pokémon Center website, but these do tend to make their way overseas shortly after. According to PokéShopper, the Japanese sale for Eevee, Jolteon, Flareon, and Vaporeon runs until May 19. The Eevee plush, which is much smaller than its evolutions, costs 3,850 yen (roughly $27), while the larger fully-evolved plushies are 44,000 yen (around $306). That means collecting the whole range would cost you almost $2,500. Click through the gallery to see them in all their life-sized glory. Update, 4/25/25, 10:42 a.m. Eastern: The plushies are now on sale on the U.S. Pokémon Center they're a whopping $400. Good luck to your wallets. These enormous plushies are part of The Pokémon Company's 'Year of Eevee,' which is celebrating the fox-like Pokémon and all its evolutions with new merchandise. While there is no official tease or announcement, fans are hopeful that a year dedicated to Eevee might culminate in a new Eeveelution at some point. Pokémon Legends: Z-A is bringing back Mega Evolutions and returning to Kalos, the fairy-type Sylveon's home region. So even if we don't get a new Eeveelution, part of me wonders if a Mega Evolution is in the cards. For the latest news, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
