2025年，《寶可夢卡牌》系列即將迎來一場重量級革新。日本官方正式宣布，全新世代的「寶可夢卡牌 MEGA 系列（ポケモンカードゲーム MEGA）」將以兩款擴充包——《MEGA BRAVE》（メガブレイブ）與《MEGA SYMPHONIA》（メガシンフォニア）——登場，並於2025年8月1日同步在日本全國發售。這次的系列象徵著睽違多年的「Mega進化」強勢回歸，全新推出的「Mega進化ex（メガシンカex）」機制結合高HP與強力技能，讓對戰節奏更具爆發力，也引發玩家與收藏家之間的極大關注與熱烈討論。

《MEGA BRAVE》以力量與爆發力為核心，主打火、格鬥與電氣屬性寶可夢。系列封面主角為深受玩家喜愛的「Mega路卡利歐」與「Mega噴火龍X」，象徵勇氣、速度與無畏的戰鬥精神。整體卡面設計以黑與金為主色調，展現出強烈的攻擊性與霸氣感，極具收藏魅力。此系列特別適合偏好高輸出與一擊必殺戰術的玩家，卡片設計在視覺與數值上都展現出令人驚嘆的力量感，是「Mega進化ex」回歸後最具代表性的作品之一。

與之相對的《MEGA SYMPHONIA》則以優雅與節奏為主題，聚焦冰、超能與水屬性寶可夢，主視覺由「Mega沙奈朵」與「Mega冰鬼護」領銜。整體呈現出如交響樂般的華麗氛圍與節奏感，強調場控與戰術節奏的協調性。這個系列不僅外觀優美，更在策略層面展現深度，非常適合重視長期佈局與戰場掌握的玩家。與《MEGA BRAVE》的猛烈風格形成鮮明對比，《MEGA SYMPHONIA》象徵智慧、節奏與冷靜，是「力量與優雅」之間的完美平衡。

這次兩款擴充包同時導入全新的稀有度「MUR（Mega Ultra Rare）」，專屬於金邊壓印的「Mega進化ex」卡。這些卡片的插畫均為全新創作，與以往UR（Ultra Rare）版本不同，MUR卡採用獨立繪製的構圖，背景以華麗的圓形能量陣設計，營造出強烈的神聖與史詩感。每張MUR卡不僅擁有頂級的卡面質感與稀有性，更是收藏家眼中的夢幻逸品。除此之外，這次的系列也首次推出完整插畫版（Full Art SR）的道具卡、寶可夢裝備卡與競技場卡，使得整體視覺呈現與收藏價值再度提升。

In early November 2025, a tragic incident shocked Pakistan when a 12-year-old boy died after being struck by a speeding police vehicle during a chase in the city of Multan, Punjab province. According to local reports, the incident occurred as the police were pursuing a group of suspects when one of the vehicles lost control and hit the young boy, who had been walking by the roadside. Eyewitnesses stated that the impact was severe, and the child died instantly from his injuries.

The incident sparked public outrage, with residents expressing anger over what they described as the “reckless behavior” of police officers, who allegedly failed to follow proper safety protocols during high-speed pursuits in densely populated areas. Videos circulating on social media showed the aftermath of the collision, including the damaged police vehicle and the grieving family of the victim.

In response to the growing public criticism, Punjab’s police chief announced that an internal investigation had been launched to determine responsibility. The officers involved in the chase were temporarily suspended pending the outcome of the inquiry. Human rights advocates and local community leaders have demanded that those responsible be charged with negligence and that stricter regulations be implemented for police pursuits to prevent further tragedies.

This case has reignited debates across Pakistan about police accountability and the lack of oversight in law enforcement operations. Many citizens argue that while police are tasked with maintaining order, their actions often result in avoidable civilian casualties due to inadequate training and disregard for public safety. The boy’s death has since become a symbol of frustration over systemic flaws in Pakistan’s policing practices, with calls for reform growing louder both online and in the streets.
