When Pokémon Red and Blue were released in 1998 in North America, it created a tidal wave throughout pop culture. No matter where you looked, there was something Pokémon related. Toys at Burger King, a show on television, a movie in theatres - Pokémon was, and still is, massive, currently holding the spot for the most successful media franchise of all time. Needless to say, all of the world’s attention was directed at Gamefreak’s next move....

Psychic-type Pokémon have some of the scariest abilities in the entire franchise. They can use their abilities to manipulate humans and Pokémon into doing their bidding and can easily freak out other creatures to the point that they will lose the battle. Most Pokémon trainers can hardly control these Pokémon because they are some of the most sentient in the series. This list will go over 10 absolutely horrifying Psychic-types that no trainer wants to be near....

Niantic can be criticized for a lot of things during Pokémon GO’s first four years. However, it can be praised for a lot more, such as the longevity of the game. When the initial hype of Pokémon GO’s release began to die down after the summer of 2016, never in a million years did we think it would be as popular as it is right now, almost four years later – especially in the middle of a global pandemic that prevents most of us from leaving the house....

Pikachu Libre will make its debut in Pokémon GO this weekend as a GO Battle League reward but earning that encounter won’t come easy. Although Niantic first introduced PvP battles to Pokémon GO in 2018, that corner of the game is finally about to get a lot more serious. The first season of GO Battle League launches this weekend, giving trainers a chance to not only pit themselves against others but to definitively discover how they compare....

One of the most important parts of any Pokémon is its ability. These passive effects have been a part of the Pokémon series for generations, and while some are relatively simple and forgettable compared to others, many can help certain Pokémon be an unstoppable powerhouse when properly utilized. Each new Pokémon game introduces new abilities and changes older ones, and Pokémon Sword & Shield the largest range in the series. Many of the strongest and strangest abilities can fly under the radar of most trainers, but if you’re looking to train a new teammate, these are some abilities you should look out for....

Since its introduction back in the first generation of Pokemon games, Eevee has gone on to become one of the most popular Pokemon in the series. That’s quite the achievement really, especially considering that there are now almost a thousand of the little critters to choose from. While Eevee’s enigmatic evolutionary status certainly plays a big part in its popularity, Ken Sugimori’s creation has plenty of unique qualities and attributes that really help set to it apart from its peers....

Pokemon GO’s Eevee-focused August Community Day weekend just wrapped up on Sunday (or Monday counting the evolution time), but it’s never too early to start planning for the next big event. Trainers who participate in September’s big event will have the chance to catch tons of Chikoritas and evolve the Gen 2 starter with a special move. The official announcement about September’s Community Day comes from Pokemon GO Live and confirms that September 22 will be a Chikorita Community Day in Pokemon GO....

There’s no denying that Pokemon Go is Niantic’s bread and butter; the game made Niantic almost $2 billion last year alone. But Niantic isn’t foolish enough to bank its entire future on a single franchise, which is why they’ve partnered with Hasbro to bring another classic franchise to mobile. Transformers: Heavy Metal is an augmented reality mobile game like Pokemon Go, but instead of battling it out with Pokemon, you play as Autobots and Decepticons fighting for the future of planet Earth....

Pokemaniacs have reason to rejoice as its time once again for Pokemon GO Fest. If you’re someone who still whips out their phone to capture a random Ratatta or Butterfree wandering outside your bedroom window, then this will surely be the event that you’ve been waiting for. While there’s not a ton of information about what this year’s festival will include, we do know when the event will begin. It’s not too far off, but there’s going to be a bit of a wait until you can celebrate with your fellow Pokemon GO fans....

The second batch of episodes of the Pokemon Journeys anime, which airs exclusively on Netflix in the United States, finally has a release date. The first batch of episodes for Pokemon Journeys consisted of 12 episodes released on June 12 on Netflix, a first for the series which has traditionally aired weekly in the US since the Pokemon anime began in the 90s. This new series focuses on Ash and his best friend Pikachu as they embark on a globe-trotting adventure across multiple regions, instead of a singular region introduced in the most recent Pokemon games as the anime has done in the past....

The Pokemon franchise’s transition to a 3D style of visuals and exploration has proven very successful, but many game players long for the 2D style Pokemon started with. That’s one of the reasons VEWO Interactive decided to make Nexomon, a creature collecting and battling RPG. The 2017 release of Nexomon proved successful, leading VEWO to quickly start working on the game’s sequel, Nexomon: Extinction. And now that sequels release date is revealed and quickly approaching....

If you’re reading this, there’s a decent chance you’re already saying, “No! I hate Let’s Go! Boo!” If so, please reconsider your position. Let’s Go Eevee and Pikachu are the best Pokemon games in over ten years, and they gave us the most impressive version of Saffron City the series has ever seen. There’s something special about Saffron. It’s never been my favourite city - that would be Sootopolis, although that’s not even much of a city when you look at metropoles like Goldenrod....

Sony’s PS4 console continues its strong sales to remain at the top of the charts, taking the prize of best-selling system of March 2016 in the United States. In spite of Sony’s larger woes, its gaming division has proved to be a revelation in terms of commercial success. Since the launch of the PS4 in 2013, the home console has left all competitors struggling to keep up, topping sales charts time and time again....

One of the biggest problems with advertising next generation consoles like the PS5 is that players can’t truly know what certain features will mean for their gameplay experience until they try them. One can read about the DualSense’s haptic feedback and adaptive triggers, or the PS5’s SSD and 3D audio all they want, but experiencing it is another thing entirely. To help with this, Sony reached out to various developers creating games for the PS5 to get their perspective on how these features change the game for their teams....

Sony could upstage Nintendo’s HD Rumble with the PS5, as a new technology report has revealed that the DualSense controller can use a game’s audio to create vibrations, without any extra work required on the part of the developer. The idea of controllers vibrating in response to in-game action started with the 32/64-bit era, and this technology was barely upgraded over the next few console generations. Nintendo promoted the HD Rumble aspect of the Switch’s Joy-Cons during the initial promotion of the system, and many pundits wrote it off as promotional jargon....

A couple of days ago, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds on Xbox One received a substantial update that addressed a number of lingering glitches and bugs in the game while also greatly improving its performance. However, that update seems to have caused another glitch entirely, though it’s one that is actually rather helpful. This glitch allows downed players in PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds to get back into the action without having to be revived completely by their teammates....

Rockstar is a household name and a top-dog in the gaming industry. The New York-based video game publisher operates various studios worldwide and serves as a home to some of the most iconic gaming franchises and titles, ranging from the Red Dead series, the Manhunt series, Max Payne 3, to the studio’s most popular magnum opus, the Grand Theft Auto series. This article will rank in chronological order some of the most memorable Rockstar games from the Red Dead, Warriors, and Grand Theft Auto series, although only the 3D games that were released on home consoles of the latter will be included....

I’m all for diamonds losing their place in society as the tool of choice for proposing marriage, but I’m not sure I’m here for its replacement. Several Reddit posts have come up from people who have implemented the PS5 proposal. Basically, they’re one of the people lucky enough to get a new PlayStation 5, and have decided to use it as the staging grounds for a marriage proposal. Considering the usual ways of expressing an unending and undying love–such as dropping to one knee while under the heavy gaze of a baseball Jumbotron–are no longer available due to COVID, perhaps the PS5 proposal makes a lot of sense....

Subject 2923 is the second DLC for Remnant: From the Ashes, the Souls-like shooter from developers Gunfire Games. The DLC takes players on a journey to discover the origins of the Dreamer program, and its connection to the Root. Subject 2923 takes place after the main story of Remnant: From the Ashes, and introduces new locations, bosses, and weapons. One of the new weapons that the DLC adds is the Machine Pistol, a new hand-gun with a rapid rate-of-fire but a small magazine....
