Since the November 2019 launch of Pokemon Sword and Shield, Game Freak has done a decent job of running various max raid events, as well as doling out items for random celebrations. Some of them require a "community goal" of sorts (a modern...

Growing up, I had a friend who was very into the Star Wars Customizable Card Game. He carried two binders with him throughout the fifth grade: one for his school work and one for all of his cards. I don't know if he actually played it ...

In the 25 years since its original inception, the Pokémon universe has grown from just a handful of lead critters to a ridiculous menagerie of monsters. The designs tend to get a little weirder and more abstract as the developers run...

Pokémon pretty much has it made. It has a huge history, and enough nostalgia to mine forever. Having a good cadence of "remakes, and new stuff" is pretty much perfect at this point. And they delivered both today. Here's a full recap,...

Back in middle school, I remember my classmates saying Pokémon was just a fad. It was 1998, school had just started up again, and the anime had just started up in preparation for the arrival of Pokémon Red and B...

Welcome to the weekend, folks! May I be the first to wish you a very happy Pokémon Day... PokéDay? Well, whatever it is, I hope for all of you budding trainers out there it's a fun one. Pokémon is such a social game, bu...

The Pokémon Company wowed us with another Sinnoh-region announcement today beyond the Diamond and Pearl remakes: a brand new game coming in 2022. This one takes place in an "older" Sinnoh region where "Pokémon roamed as t...

Well, The Pokémon Company didn't waste any time today! This isn't like one of the more recent presentations that gave us a Pokémon MOBA that still isn't out yet. Oh no, they learned their lesson this time. The Pearl and D...

Every so often, Game Freak does mystery gift giveaways for free creatures in Pokemon Sword and Shield. Okay, it's mostly just different types of Pikachus. Okay, it's basically all Pikachu, all the time. But at the very least you're get...

Pokémon Day might not be until February 27, but in lieu of anyone having to do any work on a Saturday, The Pokémon Company has announced that it will be hosting a brand new "Pokémon Presents" live stream presentation to...

As the global COVID-19 pandemic continues into its second year, we are already starting to see the rescheduling of multiple events previously postponed in 2020. Among these are the Pokémon World Championships, which for a second year...

"Essential business" GameStop is at it again with their old tricks. This time it actually is an old trick, as the retailer is trying to get people into their stores for a Pokemon distribution. During a global pandemic. A shiny Pok...

I've had so-so luck over the past year and a half collecting all the free Mystery Gifts Nintendo and the Pokémon Company have sent out for Pokémon Sword and Shield, and there's a good chance I would have missed this one t...

A Japanese man has been arrested by authorities for allegedly generating and selling hacked critters from Nintendo Switch release Pokémon Sword & Shield. The 23-year-old was apprehended in Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture after bein...

Well, this is where we're at. Amid all of the controversy, people showed up for Pokemon Sword and Shield. In overwhelming amounts. According to the latest sales data from Nintendo, Pokemon Sword and Shield, billed as a duo (which ...

Eyebrows were raised when, back in 2014, it was announced back that Nintendo and Bandai Namco were tagging up to create a fighter styled on the Pokémon franchise. But with Tekken producer Katsuhiro Harada at the helm, it seemed likel...

The Pokemon Company periodically tackles big Pokemon bans in waves, and another one is coming around the bend. Last year they cracked down on players who abused a "disconnect" glitch to get ahead, and now they're focusing on altered/modded ...

Shutterbugs waiting on the return of Pokemon Snap might enjoy this blink-and-you'll-miss-it TV commercial for the upcoming Nintendo Switch release, which has started airing on Japanese television. The typically enthusiastic short stars youn...

The other day, we got an actual release date for New Pokémon Snap, and I couldn't be happier that it's basically on the horizon. The original game still absolutely slaps, so I hope this new iteration delivers even a fraction of that ...

Plenty of you still have your original Pokémon Snap cartridge, but for those of us who never bought the 1999 photo-snapping spin-off (or strictly experienced it as a weekend rental way back when), it's not too late to go back before ...

Pokemon Unite is a Tencent MOBA. So we kinda knew it would be heavily monetized from the get-go. But thanks to a leak from Centro Pokemon (assuredly from the current closed testing period), we have more of an idea of what tha...

We're nearly through the "remake-verse," as it were, with mainline Pokemon generations: if this rumored project comes to fruition (it probably will one day, the real question is whether or not it's this year). We've trekked through Red...

Nintendo and Nintendo adjacent studios, stop putting "New" at the front of every title you can. I know it's easy, and cute! But "Pokemon Snap 2" or "Pokemon Snap Safari" would have worked too. Wait, did you forget that we're getting a Pokem...
