Later this morning, Nintendo will drop a glut of new info on its highly-anticipated Switch releases Pokémon Sword & Shield. But it seems some image scans, recently uploaded to Spanish twitter account Centro Pokémon, have r...

I can't pretend to fully understand the deep-seated fascination with video game file sizes (excluding monstrously large games and a few other exceptions), but here we go again. Got a fresh one for ya! If you're thinking of hitting up Pok&ea...

We already got word that Pokemon Sword would be getting one of the sassiest Pokemon ever created, Sirfetch'd, as an exclusive, but the Shield version isn't being left out in the cold. Similar to how there were Alolan forms of Gene...

This is my kinda ridiculous. Starting October 4 at 6:00am Pacific, The Pokémon Company will host a 24-hour-long live stream for Pokémon Sword and Shield not unlike those cute animal live cams you can find online. The so-called...

National Dex, Round 2: Fight! As we all know, Game Freak dropped a bombshell on us at E3 this year, noting that not every Pokémon would return in Sword & Shield. For those of you who don't partake in the massive worldwide phenome...

I still can't believe there are 28 forms of Unown not only in Pokémon but also in real life, as officially licensed plush toys. I marveled at that fact earlier this year when the Pokémon Center in Japan started taking pre-orde...

Game Freak knows me too well. If there's a list of things to accumulate in a video game, I'm going to do my darnedest to fill it out, whether it's catching every last Pokémon in Galar or cooking up a storm. Today's Nintendo Direct f...

Pokémon Sword & Shield's new region is called "Galar," and we've seen quite a bit of it so far by way of gameplay trailers these past few months. But when the new season of the anime airs later this year, it's not going to be the...
