Greninja is the final evolution of Froakie, and it is a Water-type and Dark-type Pokémon. It is frog-like in form, but it has the skills of a ninja. This Pokémon has a flawless grace that makes it hard for other Pokémon to keep up and combined with its throwing stars make a deadly combination. Fans have grown attached to this Pokémon and have made several pieces of fan art in its honor....
When it comes to cover art, the Pokémon franchise is no slacker. From their movies to the games, they’ve delivered time and time again on some excellent art. Building on the hype and promotional material that was laid down prior, the cover art has been a factor in their massive sales across the decades. Unfortunately, this doesn’t mean they’re a hit every time. How could they be? With so many titles and spin-off games, it’s hard to keep up when they had already set the bar so high....
The Pokémon franchise has been around for a long time and, for the most part, has been considered a kid-friendly franchise. The game series doesn’t feature gore, strong visual violence, or any of the other things that make up T or M rated games. At its core, this franchise is pretty innocent, especially for kids who don’t take the time to read all the Pokedex entries about ghost-type Pokémon. With that being said, the games have actually been pretty dark at times, especially in the case of the first few generations....
Mew has captured our hearts as the playful but powerful legendary Pokémon that is one of the hardest things to catch a glimpse of in the game and TV series. With Pokémon being one of the biggest franchises in video game history, Nintendo’s second biggest earner (falling only behind Mario), and Mew being one of the most iconic figures in the Pokémon world, you would have thought there wouldn’t be so many contradictions and unanswered questions about the character’s time at the top....
Niantic has been revealing a clue per day on Twitter. Solve the clues and players will have a code they can use to access an exclusive in-game prize in Pokémon GO. The build to Pokémon GO’s GO Fest 2020 is almost over as this weekend, the big event takes place. The first-ever worldwide GO Fest. The pandemic has prevented Niantic from having the event take place across a handful of cities, as is normally the case....
Pokémon GO’s spotlight hours have proved so popular that they will be returning every single Tuesday in April. Niantic has recently been running Pokémon Spotlight and Mystery Bonus hours in Pokémon GO. Similar to Community Days but as the names imply, they only last for 60 minutes. Niantic revealed this week that feedback following the previous Spotlight and Bonus has been so positive that it will combine the two and run a series of them....
Charizard, along with Pikachu, is one of the most iconic Pokémon in the series, so it only makes sense that Mega Charizard X was one of the first to get a Mega Evolution in Pokémon GO. These new evolutions require the use of Mega Energy to bring select Pokémon to levels beyond their final evolutions, but there are precious few ways to go about obtaining this special energy. If you have a Charizard of your own you want to beef it up to this new power level, you’ll need to know the best counters and movesets of Mega Charizard X before you try taking on his Raid Battle to earn some of that rare Mega Energy....
Legendary Pokemon are a key component of the franchise. While a lot of the fantastical critters may be cool to catch, the real prize is getting to capture a once-in-a-lifetime beast. Although, the rules of legendary Pokemon seem to change from game to game, and it’s perfectly normal to have multiple of the same beasts that can rend time and space asunder in the same universe. Regardless, legendary Pokemon aren’t always fan favorites, but there are certainly some that are beloved....
2021 marks the 25th anniversary of the Pokemon franchise, and people all around the world are celebrating in their own way. Fans are showing their love by playing their favorite titles from the series, producing fan art, or even, in the case of one Reddit user, making Pokemon-inspired cocktails. What’s more, this social media mixologist posted the recipes so Pokemon fans everywhere can enjoy them. A good celebration deserves a signature cocktail, but Reddit user nakapri and her boyfriend managed to whip up four....
This month celebrates the one-year anniversary of Pokemon GO, which took the mobile gaming market (and by extension the world) by storm in the summer of 2016. Developer Niantic has not forgotten that fact either, and wants to reward its loyal players with some special goodies in honor of the game’s first birthday. As part of the Pokemon GO Anniversary event, players will notice that any Pikachu found and caught in the wild will be wearing the Ash Ketchum hat....
Now that the February 2019 Swinub Community Day event for Pokemon GO has come to a close, many are casting their eyes forward. It’s worth mentioning that there is a forthcoming Clamperl Limited-Time Research event on the horizon, but some are looking toward next month’s March 2019 Community Day event. It used to be that this event was revealed a day or two after the preceding event, but recent Community Days have diverged from this pattern, giving players a longer wait....
Over the last 25 years, Eeveelutions have established themselves as some of the most beloved Pokemon in the most successful entertainment franchise in history. That’s no small feat, as evidenced by the fact you can easily and immediately buy yourself anything from a Jolteon jumper to a Sylveon scrunchie on the internet. It’s been a long time since we had a new Eeveelution, though, which means that the ninth elemental form of Eevee is definitely on the horizon - but what type is it going to be?...
Power Rangers Dino Fury has been a triumph for both the franchise and its longtime fans. Power Rangers on television has seemed to be in a holding pattern for a long time. Though there was quality to be found it never felt like it was living up to its potential. That all changed with the start of Dino Fury, a series which has brought back much of the magic that Power Rangers has been missing....
Since the Forsaken expansion debuted in 2018, Destiny 2 has followed a particularly rigid structure of seasons. Instead of releasing large amounts of content more-or-less once a year, Bungie has focused on slightly less macrocosmic content releases every few months. Bungie is taking a more live-service approach to Destiny 2 compared to MMOs, which typically release content in a similar timeframe of a year or two between major expansions. While many of Destiny 2’s fanbase will argue at length the benefits and drawbacks of seasonal content compared to larger expansions, it’s made the gameplay experience much more consistent in terms of update pacing....
Professional stuntmen, Ben Aycrigg and Adam Lytle, go face to face in a Witcher tribute fight scene. The fight scene lasts about one minute, but is packed full of masterful sword fighting and magic. Ben Aycrigg stars as Geralt of Rivia, sporting white, long hair and carrying both his signature blades. Geralt fights several soldiers using a mix of sword fighting and using spells directly from the series. Geralt uses his telekinetic blast, Aard, and his fire Igni, while defeating the soldiers....
What should have been a very easy win for Sony turned into pure chaos on Wednesday evening. Just weeks after PlayStation worldwide marketing head Eric Lempel reassured gamers that Sony wouldn’t surprise announce PS5 pre-orders, it did exactly that after a digital showcase. Right after the event, which ended with the reveal of the console’s price and release date, Sony announced in a very matter-of-fact Twitter reply that pre-orders would be available “starting as early as tomorrow at select retailers....
PUBG, like many titles in the battle royale subgenre, is heavy on action and light on lore. Players from all over the world drop onto an island whose origin story they know almost nothing about. But that’s all about to change. PUBG Corp. released the second (maybe last) installment of Mysteries Unknown last month, unveiling the backstory of a new map in the form of a four-minute mockumentary. Featuring narration from Johnathan Franks (Star Trek) and a macabre 1000-Ways-to-Die sensibility, Mysteries Unknown details the inevitable downfall of a prehistoric-themed amusement park, Dinoland, which once occupied what is now the snow-covered PUBG map, Vikendi....
By the end of 2013 the TV channel G4 as we currently know it will cease to exist. It’s been a slow whirlwind of developments for the one-time 24/7 video game channel over the past year, and it seems those changes were pushing the channel towards this moment. First came the untimely departure of Adam Sessler as the host of X-Play, and then Kevin Pereira moving on to pursue other opportunities, and now comes word the channel itself will be rebranding....
Rachel Weisz will star in a TV series re-imagining of Dead Ringers, director David Cronenberg’s classic 1988 film, according to The Wrap. In the original film, Jeremy Irons played successful twin gynecologists named Elliot and Beverly Mantle, who share some of their patients sexually without the women knowing which man is which. But when Beverly becomes emotionally attached to an actress (Genevieve Bujold), the co-dependent twins descend into depression, sexual depravity and drug addiction with harrowing results....
There once was a time when microtransactions only appeared in free-to-play games, as they were how the developers of those titles recouped their development costs. But then microtransactions began slowly appearing in big budget releases over the years, with major games like Grand Theft Auto 5 and Overwatch adopting them. For better or worse, microtransactions have changed the industry, and we now know that all future games from Red Dead Redemption 2 distributor Take-Two Interactive will include them in some capacity....
