No further info was shared, but Team Rocket left behind a little memo saying they’ll need at least 1 million people and Saga Prefecture only has about 820,000 so that it won’t be enough. IT also says something about a flashy entrance from the night skies, a balloon festa that will succeed, several possible locations, “Saga x Boss = ?” and something about catching all the customers’ Pokémon.

 

We’re not entirely sure what’s going to happen, but we’ll definitely keep an eye out. In the meantime, those of you in Saga should make sure to keep your Pokémon close!
