There are still a few days of January left, but it’s never too early to start planning ahead. Pokemon GO trainers are still enjoying the final January 2021 events, a few of which actually spill over into the early days of February, but the second month of the year is going to be full of its own exciting festivities, as well as the final countdown to Pokemon GO Tour: Kanto continues and comes to a close....
Meltan is the first and only Pokemon to be first introduced in Pokemon GO. This pure steel-type Pokemon is unique due to only being able to evolve in Pokemon GO as well despite being able to be transferred to other Pokemon games. While there are multiple ways to find and catch Meltan in Pokemon GO, the fastest and easiest way is through the use of a Mystery Box. This item will cause multiple Meltans to spawn around the player for them to freely catch....
The summer of events may be behind Pokemon GO players, but that doesn’t mean things are slowing down in the world of the mobile AR game. The holiday events that run basically from just before Halloween all the way through the new year keep players busy as the weather grows colder, but the excitement has started a bit early this year thanks to a few shorter events throughout the end of September and the beginning of October....
After announcing an incredibly exciting lineup of events to kick off the Season of Celebration, Niantic is now ready to confirm the dates of Pokemon GO’s December Community Day event. As has become tradition, the December Community Day will be an event that spans the full weekend and features various exciting bonuses as players have a chance to catch a list of more than 20 popular Pokemon who have been in the spotlight over the past two years....
The launch of Pokemon GO’s new research feature may only be days away at this point, but that hasn’t kept some determined fans from finding out everything they possibly can about the AR game’s next major update. Said fans have successfully datamined the game’s most recent update package, and their efforts have revealed a wealth of information concerning the additions that Pokemon GO will soon be receiving. Niantic revealed the basic details about field research and what players can expect from it earlier in the week, but this datamine has yielded plenty of juicy information for fans to tide themselves over with until the update’s official release date....
Professor Willow, along with the team leaders, decided a concert would be a fitting way to commemorate Pokemon GO’s fifth annual GO Fest, but they’re leaving the details up to you! You’ll get to set the tone of the show and even handpick the band, but it all starts with one essential question: Will you choose Pop Star or Rock Star Pikachu to headline the big performance? This decision will influence the other aspects of the production, from the music to costuming, so you’ll want to choose wisely....
Pokemon Go generated an eye-watering $1.92 billion in revenue last year, more than doubling the same figure from 2019. We can’t know for sure, but we would hazard to guess that it was panic stations at Niantic back in March 2020. A pandemic was declared and it forced many of us to remain indoors unless it was essential to leave the house. That rendered Niantic’s prize possession Pokemon Go pretty much obsolete, but not for long....
It has been a weekend of good news for Niantic’s monster-catching mobile game Pokemon GO. Hot off the heels of the confirmation that the title’s Safari Zone event in Sweden was a smash hit, Niantic rolled out a new update that seemingly contained only minor bug fixes to enhance overall gameplay ahead of the Halloween season. However, an early datamine of the update has revealed that Generation 3 Pokemon will be added to the game when the Pokemon GO Halloween event kicks off....
When it comes to new Pokémon introduced in each new region, that region’s pseudo legendary Pokémon is generally considered one of the best that can be found. Sporting stats comparable to that of legendary Pokémon while also having some of the coolest looking designs around, it’s not hard to see why players gravitate towards them in both their standard playthroughs and in online or competitive batting. Dragapult, and by extension its pre-evolutions, Dreepy and Drakloak, is one of the best Pokémon you can use in Sword & Shield’s main game, post-game, and in competitive battles due to its great offensive stats and ludicrous speed, the latter of which is only matched by the likes of Zeraora, Shadow Rider Calyrex, and Pheramosa....
Fairy-types are gaining ground in the Pokéverse! Both Pokemon Sword and Shield are loaded with Fairy-types, and gamers are thrilled! Although Game Freak didn’t get around to introducing Fairy-types until Gen 6, the fairies have already cemented themselves as fan favorites, due to their creative designs and wonderful versatility. If players want a strong and versatile team, then they are going to need at least one Fairy-type or some Fairy-type combination....
While there is a large portion of gamers dying to get their hands on Half-Life 2: Episode 3, many of them would rather protest from their couches and computer chairs than put any actual effort forward to make their case known to Valve. A few precocious Half-Life fans, though, did step up to represent the many and made their presence known by picketing outside the Valve offices. Valve co-founder Gabe Newell, or as most know him: the guy who teases us, actually found the protest entertaining and even provided the picketers with food and drinks to keep their campaign going....
FIFA 20 was released to a mixed reception with some players praising changes while others found the new mechanics that were introduced adding to longstanding issues. Despite some conflicting opinions on FIFA 20, the game is having some of its features retooled in a way that many would have not expected when it was released in 2019. The Premier League is now enlisting the sounds from the game as it attempts to relaunch its season....
Over the next few weeks (if not the next few months), gamers are likely to hear a lot about next-gen sales estimates, projections, and records concerning both the PS4 and Xbox One. And as each begin to expand to additional territories and bolster their post-launch supply counts, the picture will start to get clearer as to who “won” and where. Thus far, we already know that the PS4 and Xbox One sold very well during their first 24 hours of release, with both selling-through more than 1 million units....
While the PS4’s DualShock 4 controllers have been praised for being a huge improvement over the PS3’s controllers, they haven’t completely escaped criticism. One point of contention among fans has been the DualShock 4’s battery life, usually lasting only four to five hours depending on player settings. However, if the latest PlayStation 5 leak is to be believed, the upcoming DualSense controller will have a much better battery life than the DualShock 4’s....
The PlayStation 5 has been ranked among the top 100 best inventions in Time magazine’s annual best inventions list for 2020. The annual list, which praises technological advancements and achievements, praises the PlayStation 5 for its fast load times, high end graphics, and the new innovative DualSense controller. While much praise was given to the console itself, the DualSense controller was a major focus with the magazine outlining the many new features the controller brings....
PlayStation 5 pre-order anxiety is nearing an all-time high, with many gamers around the world wondering when they will be able to secure a PS5 console. PlayStation fans in Japan recently got some bad news in this area, as Sony has confirmed that no more pre-orders will be accepted in the country. Sony announced the news today via a Japanese PlayStation Blog Post. Posted to Twitter by video game insider Nibellion, a translation of the blog confirms that new consoles will not be available for players in Japan “until launch at least....
With the release of the PlayStation 5 a little over a month away, many members of the gaming community are eagerly awaiting the chance to try out the console for themselves. While plenty of surface level details regarding the console are readily available to practically anyone, there are smaller features of the PS5 that many gaming enthusiasts may not be privy to. One example is a cool feature of the PS5 DualSense controller....
Earning every single trophy a game has to offer will no longer appeal to the completionists alone. On PS5, trophies appear to come with in-game rewards. 30 years ago, when someone said a game was complete, it meant a player had passed through all of its levels or finished its story mode. For some gamers, completing a game has retained that definition to this day. Not for everyone, though. Others may not consider a game to have been completed until all of its missions and side quests are done, or even until all of its trophies or achievements have been unlocked....
Quantum Break developer Remedy Entertainment is already working on its next game, according to the professional profiles of several Remedy developers. Game developer Remedy Entertainment has seen huge success with its new game Quantum Break, which it released on PC and Xbox One earlier this month.

Rainbow Six Siege has recently entered its newest season, and with a new season comes two new operators: Nokk and Warden. One of them has a pretty familiar toolset, somewhat combining a couple of different operators into one ability, while the other has an entirely new mechanic that could occasionally trip up the other team. There are certain things you can do with each operator that’s going to help sway things your way, so let’s take a look at some general tips to keep in mind when playing with them:...
