Latios Arrives in Pokémon UNITE on July 18

Sure thing. Let’s dive into this… I might get a bit sidetracked, but hang in there.

So, guess what? Pokémon Company Int’l just dropped a bomb — well, not literally — but you know what I mean. Latios is crashing the party in Pokémon UNITE. Yeah, the date’s set: Friday, July 18. Mark your calendars, if that’s still a thing. Oh, and if I’m not totally losing the plot, this coincides with some big anniversary shindig, their fourth, to be exact. Crazy how time flies, right?

Anyway, back to Latios. You remember this dude from Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire? An absolute classic! Somehow, he’s now battling it out on Aeos Island. I’ve always wondered how they come up with these names. Aeos… sounds kinda futuristic or maybe just a bit mysterious. No idea why I’m stuck on this.

And speaking of celebrations, the socials are buzzing. A very official—possibly too official—announcement pops up online: “Latios is crashing the Pokémon UNITE 4th Anniversary!,” or something like that. They’re teasing us with more deets, like, where’s the fun in waiting?

Oh, and if you’re the digital sort who doesn’t own physical game copies anymore (do those even exist?), you can snag Pokémon UNITE from all the usual haunts. There’s the Nintendo eShop for the real ones on Switch, or if you’re all about the phones, hit up the App Store or Google Play. Honestly, who said gaming wasn’t accessible? I guess sometimes things do make sense.

There it is, a bit messy but that’s life.
