The most significant bonus of this event is the ability to remove Frustration from Shadow Pokémon.
Being able to do so just before the 2020 December community days on the 12th and 13th is super important, as there's a lot of shadow Pokémon that'll be eligible to learn special moves if they are evolved during the community day weekend event.
I've got a Shadow Mewtwo who's been waiting very patiently to stop being Freustrated, so Im pretty happy about this.
I'd like to say that I watch the Game Awards for all the reveals, but truthfully, I'm hate-watching to poke fun at the cringe. Last year wasn't quite awkward enough to be funny, so here's hoping its juuuust enough of a train wreck for my cynical ass.
Well that's worrying for Smash. Did this happen last year?
The Team Rocket grunts are all the unhappy people who always turn up during these events just furious that their personal favorite game didn't win everything.
