It’s a pseudo sequel to Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, with dashes of Diamond and Pearl carryover sprinkled in, and plenty of references to characters from X and Y. However, one small reference to the original Red and Blue is surprising longtime fans because it proves an old villain might have learned a few lessons since the original Game Boy games.

My phone was on Visible Wireless at the time, and my traffic was fully deprioritized at an event where seemingly 30,000 people were simultaneously posting stories and snaps ahead of me.
