There's currently a war going on between a portion of the Pokemon community and Game Freak. It all came to a head this morning when the embargo for Sword & Shield was up, and guess what? It looks like the reviews are pretty po...

Where is our review for Pokemon Sword & Shield? Well, it's complicated. Nintendo, due to a reticence for leaks, decided to only give select places copies of Sword & Shield pre-launch. It happens! There have been cases where we ...

We are now mere days away from the launch of the latest releases in the gazillion dollar selling Pokémon video game series. Pokémon Sword & Shield  will launch on Nintendo Switch on November 15, bringing mainline sequ...

It looks like for the first time in a long time, Game Freak isn't going to have a smooth Pokemon launch: as far as public opinion is concerned anyway. Right as Sword & Shield is about to launch, a lot of folks are getting re-r...

Just last week Undertale creator Toby Fox revealed that he was given the opportunity to contribute a song for Pokemon Sword & Shield's soundtrack, but it was left ambiguous as to what that would entail. Now, thanks to a new post on...

In case you were holding out: hope, dashed. Speaking to Inside Gamer, Pokemon boss Junichi Masuda re-confirmed that yes, there are no plans to add the National Pokedex into Sword and Shield. Although there were some "maybes" throw...

Nintendo's Pokémon Sword & Shield are so close now you can taste them, (not literally, that would be hideous), and as the launch approaches the drip-feed of gameplay information continues, including this video newly-uploaded to t...

I'm on the hunt for cute stuff today, maybe a subconscious effort to offset the emotional bummer of the days now being shorter and darker and colder. The temporary cure for seasonal affective disorder is Pikachu driving a Christmas train. C...

Some people don't like to pick out a starter Pokémon until they know dang well what they're in for further down the evolutionary line. Well, you don't have to wait any longer – a big (and entirely expected) leak happened less t...

Pokemon Sword and Shield is going to be an explosive game no matter how you slice it. People are already mad about more than a few aspects of it, and each iteration you have a group of players who fall off and are tired of the same old safe...

Pokemon Sword and Shield is one of the last big releases of 2019, and thus, we just got one of the last big surprises of 2019: famed Undertale mastermind Toby Fox composed a track for the pair of games. The announcement comes by way of Fox...

Believe it or not, it's been four years since the launch of Pokémon Go. Four years since those videos of wild crowds all converging in the same spot to catch some rare creature for their Pokédex. And while such phenomenal stor...

You can now download Pokémon Sword and Shield from the Nintendo Switch eShop so that you're nice and ready for launch day on November 15. Or not – I don't run your life. I barely run my own life! The games are 9.5GB a piece, th...

Humans are pretty adept at finding new and increasingly outlandish ways to spend their money. Last week, a 1998 Pokémon Illustrator card fetched $195,000 through Philip Weiss Auctions in New York. Not only is this trading card j...

The Pokemon Centre in London's Westfield shopping centre has seen "unprecedented" demand since its opening last week. Each day has brought huge queues to the pop-up merchandising store, with queues of eager customers running up to four-six ...

I didn't expect Pokémon: Let's Go to be a one-off deal, but right now, that's how things are shaping up. In an interview with Eurogamer, Game Freak's Junichi Masuda said that "at the moment there's no particular plans" at the company...

Nintendo has always been searching for a way to solve the "getting kids to pay for online" problem in the Pokemon series, and they found their answer with the Pokemon Bank app. For a few "measly" clams (oysters?) a year kids could...

Anyone who has played Pokemon since the beginning remembers the whole "okay, who brought the link cable?!" conversation (it was usually me, sometimes I brought two just in case). I've traded on school buses. I've traded in class. I've ...

It's clear there's more work to be done with trainer battles in Pokémon Go. Even if you're okay with the actual structure PvP takes in the game (I still remember the whiplash I felt early on coming from the mainline series), you prob...

I haven't yet taken the time to download the Pokémon Pass on my phone, but there's a new reason to do so: players have a chance to snag a Shiny Solgaleo and/or a Shiny Lunala using the free app from October 21 through November 10. Wi...

Pokemon Sword & Shield is so close we can almost taste it. Don't actually do that! Switch carts taste terrible (Google it). But you get the picture. Sword & Shield has been yo-yoing in favorability with the collective zeit...
