In four days you can grab yourself a shiny (well, we can't really use that turn of phrase freely in Pokemon as it means something completely different) new legendary Raikou or Entei if you're a 3DS Pokemon player. The distribution even...

The new Pokemon is as exciting as hell. We're finally getting a fully-fledged console Pokemon that isn't an arena-style variant, and if the Switch really takes off and spawns a Switch 2.0 or a future Switch 2, consoles could be th...

For a few months now, Pokemon Go has been rumored to be getting an objective based "quest" mode that would task players with daily goals to unlock things. Turns out that plan is true and is launching a lot sooner than people expected. Start...

If you're one to keep up with legendary Pokémon giveaways, this is going to be a heck of a year. There's something new every month up through November. Next month, we're getting Regigigas and Heatran. It's still February, so why bri...

Nintendo and the Pokemon Company are starting off the 2018 "Legendary Distribution event" today with Dialga and Palkia. Just like the original anniversary celebration each month will see a new legendary, but this time they're doing it in pa...

Pokémon Go is set to receive some more creatures today, according to a new post from Niantic. While the blog is incredibly light on details, we at least know there are 23 new monsters up for grabs. Polygon has confirmed around half o...

Because of that Pokémon anniversary event last year, I always had a reason to check in and pick up another free legendary. It was a pretty cool feeling and a neat way of keeping the game relevant even for casual players, and it ...

Nintendo and Game Freak are doing a great thing bringing classic Pokemon games into the fray on modern platforms. I've had many conversations with people who want to get into them but lack retro hardware, and now everyone can enjoy a p...

That's right, get ready to hit some gnarly waves and do some sick tricks bruv, because the latest Global Mission in Pokemon Ultra Sun and Moon will involve reaching 1,000,000 Beach Points (BP) in Mantine surfing! Players will have until Dec...

Pokémon and I have a tenuous relationship. I never owned an original Game Boy, so when the series exploded around the world the first time I didn’t have a means of playing it. On the Game Boy Advance, I pre-ordered Sapphire and...

For a good while Pokemon Sun & Moon players failed Global Missions. And I mean disastrously failed, to the point where many of us wondered if Game Freak was going to retire the feature altogether. I'm curious if that same question is go...

The more I think about Pokemon Sun & Moon, the more I realize it might be my favorite generation. That's a contentious statement I know, given how many people found their faults in it (which is the same with any given generation, e...

Mimikyu has got to be one of the better Pokémon in recent memory. It just looks so defenseless, like a discarded, unloved Pikachu knock-off. But there's something sinister underneath its ragged exterior. Per its Pokédex entrie...

We didn't do so hot with global missions in Pokémon Sun and Moon (at least not early on) but maybe things will turn out better with Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. That's right -- the shared objectives are back, and they're once again aski...

Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon have more surprises up their sleeves. For the completionists out there, you'll be able to stock up on legendary Pokémon. They're all here. Granted, they'll be divvied up between the two games, ...

Not all of us are capable of making an automated Pokémon-collecting machine to amass a horde of shiny monsters. That's what distribution events are for! The latest one for Pokémon Sun and Moon starts this week at GameStop and ...

You can go ahead and file this one under "Well yeah!" but here goes anyway: Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon are said to be Game Freak's final mainline Pokémon entries developed for Nintendo 3DS. Director Shigeru Ohmori ...

The new trailer for Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon is ominous. Darkness is coming to the Alola region as a mysterious Pokémon comes to rob the island of its light. The trailer, which you can check out below, gives us a glimp...

The latest Pokémon distribution is now underway at GameStop. Today through October 23, you'll be able to head to the retailer and score a code for the mythical Marshadow in Pokémon Sun and Moon. The little ghost son is level 5...

I'm gonna bet Crystal will arrive sometime in December but, with that said, here's my video review for Pokémon Gold! A game that brings up so many memories for me. A little fun fact about myself: I went to Japan... when I was like ei...

Pokémon for me personally was a defining piece of media growing up. I can still recall recess at school and seeing groups of kids huddled around Game Boy screens or playing the card game. I even remember the first episode of Pok&eacu...

Oh hey, Nintendo and The Pokemon Company are having a Pokemon celebration this month, and it involves pretty much all their properties. The big draw is probably their Pokemon Go Halloween event, which will have info coming "soon," but there...

As someone who grew up in the late '90's and early 2000's, I was a huge fan of the Pokémon series as a child. I was the type of person who'd make it a habit to wake up as early as possible to watch the latest episode of the anim...

Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon have looked fairly skippable to me. I had a grand old time in the Alola region, but it's all too recent. Once was enough for the time being. If you're on the fence or missed Sun and Moon the first go ...

It's funny to think that of everything the 3DS has going on as of late (Fire Emblem Echoes, Ever Oasis, Samus Returns, and next month's Mario & Luigi), it's the impending Pokémon Gold and Silver eShop releases that are most likel...
