While Lyle and myself continue to question the mistake into a non-miracle that is the Sonic the Hedgehog live-action movie, here's what's been happening in video games: The upcoming Sonic live-action movie is the thing of nightmares! Trin...

There's a few different camps when it comes to Pokemon versions beyond the typical two starter kits. Some people (myself included) like to see just one final "third" copy with some extra content and super-bosses. Others have been diggi...

Just last year we learned that RJ Palmer, also known as "arvalis," got to contribute to the Detective Pikachu movie. They had been known as the "realistic Pokémon person" for some time, which in turn led to a gig outside of their nor...

It shouldn't be this way. It should be a disaster. On paper, it doesn't really work. A mix of 3D CGI and live-action - with its characters adapted from simple 2D drawings - it should be kind of a wreck. But somehow, despite the odds, Pok&ea...

We all make mistakes. Sometimes we're in a hurry, and we don't take enough time to think things through. Maybe you were in a Mystic sorta mood when you first installed Pokémon Go only for second thoughts to begin creeping in a couple...

It's been a while since I've played the Pokemon Trading Card Game, but it's still going, and popping into every promotion it can get its figurative hands on. In addition to new cards with every generation it's also getting a crossover ...

I've never owned a Roomba. Either my surface area isn't big enough to warrant using a robot to clean it (a dorm) or I've opted to just deep clean my floors myself in tandem with my wife. There really is no middle ground in my life for a Roo...

Look, it's kind of impossible to tell what age Mewtwo is exactly within the confines of the Pokemon universe. But if you roll with me and use Mewtwo's birthday of February 6 and birth year of 1996, when the first Pokemon game was released i...

Niantic is giving Pokémon Go players a proper chance to catch the shiny variant of Meltan, one of the series' newest and most huggable critters. It's only a slightly different shade and the tail is just blue instead of red, but still...

Things are fairly quiet on all fronts when it comes to the post-Holiday UK Charts. While the stores no doubt feverishly wait for Capcom's Resident Evil 2 and Square Enix's Kingdom Hearts III, a selection of great titles jostle around the To...

I'm still reeling from the first Detective Pikachu trailer. It has a dark, off-kilter, extreme-close-up vibe I didn't see coming, and while I haven't completely reconciled the movie's tone with the property's usual squeaky clean image, I'm ...
