 Hello friends welcome to today's episode where we're gonna be looking at some Pokemon news and things going on in the Pokemon world this week So kicking off with the first thing on the list is gonna be a tweet that the Nintendo of America Twitter account threw out earlier on today in regards to Tetris 99 So for those of you that don't know if you've got an online subscription Nintendo online subscription You can get Tetris 99 for free and this weekend they are going to be running a Pokemon Sword and Shield theme event So you can see it is going to be running from Friday the 16th of October until Monday the 19th and all you need to do is collect I believe 50 event points throughout this event and you'll unlock the Returning Pokemon Sword and Shield in-game theme. So that's kind of cool and nice for you Pokemon fans out there Obviously myself being a Pokemon fan would probably like this theme. I do enjoy Tetris 99 It's not something I play like religiously anymore But it's always something fun to play and if I've got nothing else to do to kind of kill some time online So that event is running if you want that custom theme All you need to do is take part from anywhere between Monday Friday and Monday this coming weekend Collect 50 event points and you'll be able to get this theme So when you play Tetris 99 you'll be able to have this theme on in the background have Pokemon Sword and Shield everywhere So that's pretty exciting and something that you might have missed.
