Pokémon TCG Pocket is set to enhance player experience as it approaches its one-year anniversary. The Pokémon Company announced the launch of its Mega Rising set on October 30, introducing powerful Mega Evolved Pokémon alongside new features like card sharing, allowing players to trade special cards daily.
In addition to the new set, the game is expanding its card trading options. Players will now have the ability to swap double star rarity and shiny cards, enhancing the trading experience. Reissue events are planned to help players catch up on missed promotions, starting from October 29.
Shifting gears to the corporate world, Dassault Systemes, the French software company, has revised its full-year revenue growth forecast downward. After reporting third-quarter results that fell short of expectations, the company adjusted its outlook to 4%-6% growth, down from the previous 6%-8% range due to poor performance in its Life Sciences and CENTRIC PLM sectors.
Despite flat quarterly revenue of 1.46 billion euros, still slightly below analyst forecasts, the firm confirmed a projected increase in diluted earnings per share. CFO Rouven Bergmann suggested that while the impact of AI developments on revenue may be minimal in 2025, future projections for 2026 could hint at significant growth potential.
Bergmann also highlighted an expanded partnership with Sanofi through the unit Medidata. This collaboration focuses on streamlining clinical research, enhancing platforms for patient interactions, and improving the overall delivery of new therapies to patients.
