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...

You had me at Rube Golberg machine, Pokemon Company. The time has come: the powers that be that are in charge of one of the highest-grossing franchises of all time (it wasn't just a fad, mom!) is ready to unleash the 25th anniversary celebr...

Twitter is, by all accounts, an absolute trash heap of a website. Just a sopping pile of seagull excrement where every day you're bombarded by the worst possible opinions and takes on the planet. I mean, you're not even allowed to coor...

From an oversized Metapod that works as a fortified sleeping bag to a Gengar plush with a roll-out tongue long enough for a grown man to nap on, it's been an exciting time for ridiculous Pokémon merch. There's "I bought it for a laug...

I've seen bath bombs shaped like Pokeballs with Pokemon surprises inside of them, but this is next level! Redditor miscellaneousmao shared this kitchen creation with the world: a hot chocolate bomb. As hinted, it's actually a little ba...

Are you sick of free Pikachus yet? Too bad! Despite the fact that we've had an entire string of free Pikachus recently, The Pokemon Company is trotting out their main mascot yet again for another Pokemon Sword and Shield promo. Th...

Okay, I was not expecting this: especially one year after the launch of Pokemon Sword and Shield. In an effort to promote the season pass for the aforementioned game for the holidays, Nintendo is putting on their best Planet Earth ...

Pokemon! Gotta catch 'em all. I have! Leave me alone! I can't believe it's been 25 years since the first generation of Pokemon debuted. Okay, well it will be 25 years in February, 2021, in Japan. For me, the 25th anniversary will be Se...

The long-lost Pokemon Kadabra is set to return to the Pokedex after the end of a dispute that has lasted some two decades. The Psi Pokemon has been missing from the famous card game decks since 2003, when British-Israeli illusionist Uri Gel...

Niantic is getting ready for a major Pokémon Go shakeup at the end of November. If you've fallen off the game (for any number of well-founded reasons), the Go Beyond update might be enough of a draw. From a content-impacting seasonal...

[Update: US plans have been announced, and thankfully, they do not seem to involve going to GameStop. The official site for the Zarude distribution notes: "Sign up for the Pokémon Trainer Club newsletter, opt in to email marketing by...

[Update: Niantic has lessened the requirements for transferring, as trainers at level 33 or above can now access the feature.] Mobile gaming has gotten out of control in the past 10 years or so. While there are plenty of premium experiences...

There's still a lot we don't know about Pokemon Unite, which was revealed back in June. We do know that it's a MOBA that's basically designed around League of Legends' now-defunct Dominion mode, and that TiMi Studios (not Game Freak) is dev...

Pokemon Sword and Shield is seemingly done with DLC. Now, there's a chance Game Freak could announce an additional expansion or even a second season pass, Gearbox style, but at the moment, this might be the "complete" edition of Sword&...

[Update: Codes for all eight caps are below!] Today during this morning's special Pokémon stream, The Pokémon Company unveiled a new promo for Sword and Shield. Naturally, it involves Pikachu. From here on out, speci...

The last time we checked in with Pokemon Sword and Shield, it was hosting its first major DLC: The Isle of Armor. It was small, but it wasn't bad! The new locale was a breath of fresh air, especially given that Game Freak was doubling ...

The second half of Pokemon Sword and Shield's season pass is nearly here, as Crown Tundra is set to debut tomorrow. So far, all of the promotional materials for the DLC have shown that it could be more expansive than the first hal...

[Update: You can find future episodes as they arrive below.] Say what you will about Pokemon Sword and Shield (and you will!), but I really love the Galar region. Some portions of it feel underdeveloped, but the vistas and actual lands...
