Notes
Weekly rewards & progress for Matchmaking have been reset due to rescaling
I want to clarify the comment being referenced just so we are all clear. We are not confirming nor denying the potential of Johto in the future or any other features that have been brought up in the past. The only certainty is we are currently working on the Sinnoh region and will be releasing it when it is ready. After complete and we allow for time for bugs to arise and be fixed we will re-assess our priorities on what to work on next.
