Really can't get excited about Pokemon anymore. Lazy cash cow. Wish they'd let other companies make proper RPG's in the universe.

Mewtwo raids should be pretty fun.
And getting Mew as a gift is literally the best gift possible.
Those Pokemon movie vibes from Mew and Mewtwo about to duke it out... so cool!
