As players hit the final stages of the game, the competition gets heated. Having to go through the Tower and a serious barrage of enemies, the team will have to bring some firepower to deal with the differing attacks. Though they look similar, the archangel guards approach the battle in drastically different ways. All before having to break down the protective barrier that is the Holy Grail. Knowing what to expect is half the battle, saving a lot of headaches and avoiding the inevitable restarts that would follow....

Much of what attracts people to the Persona games involves the eponymous Personas and their references to the rich and varied mythologies of the real world. Ancient legends from Norse, Greek, and Japanese folklore, as well as many others, are embodied in the legions of supernatural forces one can ally themselves with in Person 5 Royal. Even some more modern myths proliferate this renowned JRPG series. One relatively recent tale that some may recognize is the creepy urban myth of the Mothman....

Popcap Games has officially announced the development of Plants vs. Zombies 3, the latest game in the popular tower defense franchise. The announcement was made alongside a request from developer Popcap Games to join the pre-alpha of Plants vs. Zombies 3 while it’s “under construction.” The pre-alpha for Plants vs. Zombies 3 is planned to be rolled out to more and more players over the coming weeks and months, but the first phase has already begun....

It takes six people to fill Richard Osman’s shoes, and not just because he wears a size 14. Back in April, the TV presenter, producer and novelist announced that he was leaving his co-presenter role on Pointless to focus on his hugely successful Thursday Murder Club book series and other projects. Due to the ‘stars we see in the night sky are actually hundreds of years in the past’ nature of TV broadcast, by that point, Osman was already four months out of the job....

Attacks in Pokémon have been subject to several changes over the years. From the physical and special damage split in Pokémon Diamond & Pearl to an increasing variety additional effects, there are several moves in the newest Pokémon games that old moves were never capable of. As a result, many moves haven’t returned, being replaced by more interesting and powerful ones. That said, there are also plenty of moves that have been quite literally buffed to prevent them from becoming forgotten, or from being outclassed by other newer moves....

When looking at the Pokémon franchise there are plenty of things to love. Though there have been plenty of fair criticisms regarding how slow it’s taken the main gaming franchise to evolve over the years, they have added new mechanics and features that are now considered invaluable pieces of the franchise. One of these was the introduction of shiny types, which served as alternate colored variant forms of Pokémon that can be found or bred....

One of the most famous examples of a Pokémon with a form difference is Shellos, which is very different depending on which form you catch. Titled West Sea and East Sea, Shellos is either green with a more streamlined design, or pink with a bumpy one, depending on which game is it caught in. If you’re looking for a pretty decent Ground/Water-type, you can’t go wrong with Gastrodon, which evolves from Shellos....

After the original announcement of Pokémon Sword & Shield’s shrunken National Pokédex, there was a lot of anticipation and curiosity revolving around Pokémon Home. This storage and transfer app had the much-needed feat of being able to hold every species, and while it does that job well there’s still a lot to be desired. With the upcoming Isle of Armor and Crown Tundra DLCs adding more Pokémon to the Nintendo Switch games, there should be just as much hope and interest that Pokémon Home can continue to expand too....

Building the right team is key to victory in Pokémon Masters. The player needs to strategically balance attacking, defending, and disrupting the enemies strategies. A critical role for long term survival is support. Having the right sync pair for this task can ensure the other two pairs can survive long enough to do their job. Which pair is best for the player’s team largely depends on who they have in the other two slots....

Recent Japanese trademark filings suggest that Toyota and Pokemon developers are teaming up to create a special Pikachu car. Called the Pi!car! project, the car seems to serve as a proof-of-concept for environmentally-friendly cars of the future. The Pokemon franchise is no stranger to partnerships with major brands. For example, Pikachu served as a mascot for Japan in the FIFA World Cup 2014, and Pokemon GO partnered with the child-focused charity UNICEF in 2018....

The Crown Tundra DLC for Pokemon Sword & Shield is finally here, and it’s adding several Legendary Pokemon from the Unova region to the game. Here’s how to catch Cobalion in the Crown Tundra. Cobalion was introduced in Pokemon Black & White as one of the members of the Swords of Justice, alongside Terrakion, Virizion, and Keldeo. Since then, they have been given away during events and can be caught in Pokemon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, as well as in Pokemon Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon....

Pokemon GO’s February Community Day event is still a few days away, but it’s never too early for players to start preparing their inventory and strategy for the Swinub-themed event. As most Pokemon GO players know, Swinub’s evolutions aren’t incredibly exciting, but they do fill a helpful spot in the metagame. For players looking to collect the perfect Swinub evolution during the special day, we’ve got a guide that should help out....

With July’s first Research Breakthrough opportunity just a few days away, the Pokemon GO community has been anxiously waiting to find out who the next special reward would be. Although there were theories of the Legendary beasts and Lugia, it seems like another Gen 1 pokemon will be coming back with a twist instead. A tweet featuring a photo of Snorlax was posted by Pokemon GO earlier this week and hinted that the July Research tasks and Breakthrough would be Kanto-focused....

With the depature of Latios and Latias, Pokemon GO raiders are in for a change. Ho-Oh’s second appearance is also coming to a close, which means it’s time to revisit the Tier 1 through Tier 4 raids for at least a few days. Niantic will likely announce Pokemon GO’s next Tier 5 raid boss (or bosses) in the very near future, but so far it’s a mystery. Until Niantic decides to introduce a new legendary boss or bring back an old one, Pokemon GO players will have to keep themselves busy with the current rotation of regular raid bosses....

They say April showers bring May flowers, but March is actually going to bring both rain and wind, if you’re playing Pokemon Go that is. Pokemon Go’s inaugural Weather Week event kicks off on March 24 and brings with it Pokemon that you normally wouldn’t find in the wild unless it’s rainy or windy. This will be a huge boon for those living in arid locales but really just another day if you live in Chicago....

Although Pokemon Sword and Shield may be the games that the core audience of Pokefans are currently clamoring for, that doesn’t mean they are the only Pokemon titles arriving in the near future. Pokemon Rumble Rush just released on Android devices in Australia and the mobile game is about to launch worldwide for Android and iOS users in the near future. Pokemon fans who are avid mobile gamers may already be hooked to Pokemon GO, but the latest entry in the Rumble series seems like it will offer a more traditional mobile gaming experience....

Who doesn’t remember Jigglypuff from the original Pokémon anime? A little pink Pokémon, just trying to make it out there with a song and a sharpie. Well, here’s the funny thing; Igglybuff, Jigglypuff’s pre-evolution, is actually a rarer find in Galar than its iconic counterpart. If you’re looking to complete your Pokédex, here’s how to find Igglybuff in Isle of Armor, Pokémon Sword and Shield’s newest DLC. How To Find Igglybuff Players have a 16% chance of encountering Igglybuff in the Fields of Honor during normal weather....

The highly-anticipated Pokemon Sword and Shield Crown Tundra DLC is due to drop today — or tomorrow depending on your timezone. As it stands, no exact time has been announced for the Crown Tundra launch. However, we can make a pretty educated guess based on some key information recently revealed by Nintendo. According to reputable Pokemon news site Serebii, Pokemon Home is scheduled to undergo maintenance from 11pm UTC until 4am UTC today....

Remember the first time you bought a PS2 knowing that it could also play DVDs? How did you feel when you found out that the PS3 could play blu-ray disks, and that you could integrate your Hulu and Netflix accounts on there? Honestly, that is probably why a lot of people who are not even into gaming bought those consoles. Unfortunately, Nintendo never really subscribed to the multi-use console hype. People criticize Nintendo for their lack of games for hardcore gamers and their affinity for leaving out third-party developers....

After Microsoft’s Xbox Series S leak led to the company confirming the price and release date of the Xbox Series S/X, it was only a matter of time before Sony followed up.
