A very quiet week for new releases led to a general stagnancy in the high street last week, as Electronic Arts' football sim FIFA 20 retained the top spot of the UK Charts.The Top Ten generally consisted of high-selling titles jostling for ...

Back when Pokémon Sun and Moon released, I hopped onto Smogon.com and took a stroll around the Uncharted Territory forum to explore the potential of a lot of the newer Pokémon. A lot of them held down their posi...

So there's a few things I've been picking up on since really getting into the Pokemon Sword and Shield endgame. 250-strong Pokedex? Ha! It's 360 now: I basically just need cross-game exclusives, which I'll get from my copy of Shie...

I remember the first time my mom mentioned Pokémon Go. The game had just had its awful, broken launch, but it worked pretty well in the remote area she lived in. She called to ask me about it because all of the employees at her store...

[Update: As a reminder, you have until 7PM ET today to register for the first online competition. Make sure you get on it!] The season of Pokemon battling is upon us yet again, and this time it'll be with a completely new meta now that a to...

Pokemon Sword and Shield has a ton of layers underneath the surface, and a lot of them are predicated on the Wild Area. As soon as you gain the ability to surf (along Route 9 below Circhester, as part of the story), you'll want to head...

I'm on the precipice of finishing the Galarian Gym Challenge in Pokémon Shield, after catching a wide array of Pokémon and scoring copious amounts of EXP Candy from Max Raid Battles I've grinded in the Wild Area. Eve...

Ah the full Pokedex: my ultimate goal in any Pokemon game. Although many others are content with training a competitive team of six and taking down others online, I'm a "gotta catch 'em all" kinda guy. When the GTS was up and running (...

It's been a bit since the launch of Pokemon Sword and Shield, but a lot of people have been hitting the endgame this past weekend and have asked for some tips. The first thing I always tell them? Go get the Catching Charm if you haven'...

Pokemon Sword and Shield just recently launched on Switch, and although many are lamenting the loss of some of their favorite creatures, a lot of them are celebrating the arrival of new ones.  Eldegoss is one of my new favorites, Yampe...

Microsoft Studios' Sea of Thieves and Minecraft: Xbox Edition both leapt into the Top Five of the UK Charts last week, following huge Black Friday deals which saw Xbox One consoles slashed in price.At many high street retailers, shoppers we...

We'll make this post quick and easy because of how limited time these deals are. As of writing, you can still pick up a Nintendo Switch Lite for around $170 (plus tax) at Rakuten thanks to their site-wide 20% off Black Friday coupon code (B...

Dreezy continues his conquest in Pokémon Sword to become the best there ever was in the Galar region and now with as little body hair as possible! As always, we'll also be giving away copies of whatever is currently streaming or Amaz...

Before Pokemon really took off, there were a lot of designs that didn't make it off the cutting room floor. Famed illustrator Ken Sugimori came up with many of those characters, even helping form Game Freak itself many years back. Thes...

Pokemon Sword and Shield is just coming out of the gate, but is doing insanely well sales-wise. Game Freak is looking to keep that momentum going with regular updates, which, as we now know, includes regular raid events with extra forms. We...

Make way for the new generation. As 2016's Sun and Moon simmer, Sword and Shield are thriving on a brand new platform. The Switch is now the new lead for the Pokemon series, and thus some housekeeping initiatives ar...

After several exciting weeks of new releases, the UK Chart finally settled back into business as usual, with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare regaining the number one spot. The latest entry in Activision's military shooter series also managed t...

Anecdotally, there was an overwhelming amount of support for Pokemon Sword over Shield during the new generational reveal, and it seems like the sales data supports that. Breaking down the Japanese sales numbers even further, Dengeki O...

I don't envy Game Freak. It's a weird statement to make because for more than 20 years, the company has been part owner of one of the most successful video game franchises on the planet. Game Freak has guided Pokémon since ...

Dreezy is live this week on the Destructoid Twitch channel with Pokémon Sword and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare! We're also gonna be giving Dreezy another round of waxing this Tuesday with special guest Nanerboots! But, what games do ...

Another iteration of Pokémon is upon us, and now it's time for everyone to get really joyous or mad while cute creatures frolic on-screen. With the exception of the second generation (which many still herald as the best to date)...

The doors have closed on London's "pop-up" Pokémon Centre which has, for the last month, offered Pokémon fans the opportunity to pick up a wide range of fun and exclusive merchandise based on the uber-popular trading card...

I'd be further into Pokémon Sword if only I could bring myself to leave the Wild Area. You know, maybe I'd even be done with the story by now. But, on the other hand, what's the harm in another bike ride? Just one more care-free stro...

As if Super Smash Bros. Ultimate didn't have enough to do, Nintendo is still running spirit events for completionists to dig into. As a reminder, here's a tool that will help you grab 'em all! There's more coming too, as Nintendo has c...
