## Resource

We look back on some of the Pokémon news that TPCi seemed to deem worthy to write in their retrospective. A neat Japanese Pokémon ecology book is getting an English translation and coming out this Spring. Pocket gets some updates. Pokémon teases a 30th Anniversary logo with a small trailer. We speculate why older games still might not come to the Switch or Switch 2.
