As you venture through Galar and the Isle of Armor, you’ll encounter some strong Pokémon and even stronger trainers. You’ll have to make sure you have leveled up your own team enough to counter most of the threats that you’re faced with. Of course, battling is the oldest and most obvious method for gaining EXP and ultimately leveling up a Pokémon. But, there are a few other methods for gaining that sweet, sweet EXP....

TheGamer recently received an email from renowned magician Uri Geller directing us to a post on his official Twitter page, which includes a video of Geller reading a letter he received from the president of The Pokemon Company. Last month, we published an article about why there hasn’t been a Kadabra Pokemon card printed for almost 20 years. Shortly after that piece went live, Uri Geller contacted us to announce that he was willing to give Nintendo permission to start printing the infamous card again....

A new month (and year) is right around the corner, which means Pokemon GO players only have a few precious days left to claim the December Research Breakthrough one or two more times until the next reward rolls out.

As a part of Niantic’s ongoing updates to its AR mobile title Pokemon GO, it has announced that May’s Spotlight hours will include the Pokemon Shellder, Sunkern, Poochyena, and Bronzor. However the game will also be losing some content this month as the developers let the world know there will be no Team GO Rocket Special Research events available until “the end of September.” Though Team GO Rocket grunts appear within glitchy PokeStops across the game’s real world-overlay map to players who are at least Level 8, it does not appear that the reason these evil organization members have “been quiet lately” is strictly due of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic....

Konami’s P.T. was wildly popular when it released as a free demo in 2014 due to its connection to the long-desired Silent Hills. However, with the split of Konami and Hideo Kojima, the P.T. demo was removed from the PlayStation Store and Silent Hills was officially canceled. But now it seems a dedicated fan and developer has remade the original P.T. demo from scratch. It took a sole developer around nine months of work to create this masterful remake, and it even comes with VR capabilities (though the user admitted to having issues with this part of development, making it hit or miss....

Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy was first released in 2005, and now the developer is working with Meridiem Games to create a physical edition of the game for PlayStation 4, as a 15-year anniversary celebration of the game that helped put Quantic Dream on the map.

Throughout the history of Magic: The Gathering, legendary creatures have come in a myriad of forms. However, since they were introduced in the Legends set, few creature types have been as synonymous with the legendary typing as Elder Dragons. One of the few creature types that have been exclusively printed as Legendary creatures, these powerful dragons have been seen as early as Legends and as recently as Strixhaven. However, as the power levels of Magic cards is always in flux, it’s safe to say that there is a notable range in the strength of these cards....

“Rules are meant to be broken.” How many times have you heard this phrase? How many times have you lived by this? Consequences aside, humans have a natural inclination to want to break the rule or push the limits of what is possible. This idea is related to record breaking. The Olympics, Guinness Book of World Records (do they still even make those?), even you and your friends obsess over beating or setting a “new world record....

Rockstar put a considerable amount of work into the life-like aspects of Red Dead Redemption 2, often making sure to lean on the side of realism over standard quality of life mechanics that can sometimes spoil the immersion.
