The Pokémon TCG has taken the world by storm since its debut in 1996, selling over 30 billion cards in the decades to come. With eight generations of Pokémon to draw from, the search for the best cards is endless. Luckily, the Sun & Moon expansion has narrowed down the selection for those on the hunt. It’s not only a card’s advantage in battle that makes a card desirable, collectors barely even consider this when looking for the perfect card....

The creatures known as Falinks is a Fighting-type Pokémon introduced in Game Freak’s latest addition to the Pokémon franchise - Pokémon Sword and Shield. With its yellow armour, spikey helmet and adorable roundness, this Pokémon was instantly elevated to meme-status upon its reveal. It was one of the Pokémon to be leaked alongside the Galar Pokédex two weeks prior to the game’s launch, but it only served to increase the hype for Generation 8....

Machop’s among the most classic fighting-type Pokémon in the entire franchise, boasting superior attack stats as it evolves. Trainers utilizing an all-out attack strategy in battle will want to be sure to enlist this brawler onto their Sword & Shield team. Finding Machop Machop is rather common, especially in the South Lake Miloch region of the Wild Area. The best chance of encountering one is roaming the overworld during ’normal weather,’ intense sun, or snow....

Pyukumuku is a standalone water-type Pokémon with no evolution chain and, quite frankly, a nondescript presence on the battlefield. It’s more of a cheerleader for its brawnier teammates, but don’t let that fool you. With the right move set, this little sea cucumber can turn the tide of battle. Where to Find Pyukumuku In The Wild Pyukumuku is fairly easy to find in Pokémon Sword and Shield along Route 9 and within the Wild Area....

The first of the Pokémon Sword & Shield Expansion Pass has arrived! The Isle of Armor offers a new story and characters to the Sword & Shield world. Not just that, but tons of new Pokémon are making a return after being cut from the original PokéDex. Pokémon from every Generation are making a return, including many fan favorites both from the competitive and casual sides of the Pokémon world. Many of these come from Generation Two’s Johto Region....

Although the Pokemon anime isn’t exactly known for being a horror series, there are several episodes in the series that bring that goal into question. This is particularly evident in the original series, where the writers were still figuring out how much of the manga’s much darker tone they wanted to adopt. Even though Pokemon has found its voice and become a more consistent series, there are still several episodes in the newer seasons that are more horrific than would be expected for a children’s series....

Over the course of the franchise’s history, the Pokemon series has evolved and branched out numerous times. Most can’t even keep track of all the spin-off titles that have released in the wake of Pokemon Red and Green’s release in 1996. For fans of Pocket Monsters, this is surely a good problem to have. Especially since this has led to TV shows, Manga, and various other media as well. With increasing intensity, hype for unreleased games has made news of any data from them a commodity....

There are many types of moves and types in Pokemon, and like everything there are some that stand above the others. Ground Type Pokemon are in the middle when it comes to how many exist in the games. Their move pools are surprisingly small, with only a small handful of Ground Type moves accessible. Despite this, Ground Type Pokemon have left a mark on the competitive sphere of Pokemon as one of the best Types in the entire game....

Pokemon, after 20+ years, still manages to introduce dozens of new Pokemon that win the hearts of fans both old and new. The Fighting-type is home to plenty of great Pokemon designs people consider fierce or intimidating, but most trainers never include one on their active team. Part of this is due to there being fewer Fighting-types, but also because some of them are weak and not worth to effort of evolving in some trainer’s eyes....

Pokemon GO players already had Community Day this month, but apparently Niantic is delivering another three hour bonus event out of the blue. The short event, which offers some great in-game bonuses, will celebrate the release of a limited time Clamperl research task. In addition to the chance to earn Clamperl as a limited research reward during the event window, players will also receive a 2x Catch Stardust bonus for Water-type Pokemon and there will be increased Water-type spawns during the event....

Pokemon Shield is set up the same way most of the other Pokemon games are. The player sets off across the land to become the strongest trainer, defeat the gym leaders, and be the champion in the region—in this case, the Galar region. In the same flavor as the other games, you have rival who does their best to become a better trainer than you are. However, unlike other games, you don’t necessarily hate the rival in Pokemon Shield....

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone continue to be one of the best multiplayer FPS packages currently available, with fine-tuned multiplayer mechanics and a constant stream of new content coming out to keep loyal fans satisfied. Season 3 has been the best season by far in terms of new content, but there is no reason that Season 4 won’t surpass this one as well. While there is still no official date for Season 4, Season 3’s battle pass is ending in just a couple of weeks on June 2nd....

It seems that Prey fans looking for additional content to be added to the game may soon have something to be excited about. A tweet from the official Prey Twitter page suggests that some downloadable content may currently be in the works. The tweet posted on Friday consists of a gif seemingly showing the moon and teasing the idea that there may be a lot the player does not know yet about the game’s world....

The next-generation of console gaming is upon us - as the PS4 has officially launched (with the Xbox One not far behind). Sony’s new console sold over one million units in only 24 hours and the company’s executives expect the trend to continue - claiming they’ll be able to keep PS4 units flowing through the supply chain and into customer hands throughout the busy holiday season. However, despite an admirable launch for the highly anticipated PlayStation 3 successor, many gamers faced a number of inconvenient hurdles on release day....

Yesterday Sony posted online a lengthy presentation delving into the technology behind the PlayStation 5. The presentation was given by console lead designer Mark Cerny and it was admittedly a little dry, intended for an audience of developers at GDC 2020 before the event was ultimately canceled. The audience of game players was hoping for something hands-on or visual to showcase the power of the PS5. Where Sony opted not to do that, developers and fans have taken the opportunity to present the information in a more consumable way....

We are just weeks away from the release of the PS5 and retailers all over the world are readying their shelves for the arrival of the new console. Amid all of the mayhem that this kind of preparation entails, Walmart has accidentally revealed the PS5 storage expansion price. Storage expansions, while not necessarily new, could be a particularly big deal with next-gen consoles. Both the Xbox Series S and the PS5 Digital Edition are being billed as the “cheaper” version of the next-gen consoles because of their lower price tag....

The operators in Rainbow Six: Siege are very diverse in terms of the types of gadgets that they can use. Lesion has one of the most unique abilities in the game because he has small spiked traps that deal damage towards the enemy if they step on the mine. The gu mines are even invisible for an added stealth effect. Playing as Lesion effectively can be difficult at first because he is a hard character to master....

If you’re a long-time follower of Game Freak’s beloved Pokémon franchise, you’ll have noticed one thing about the series: there are a whole holy heck of a lot of Pokémon now, aren’t there? Imagine traveling back to the days of Pokémon Red and Blue, and telling everyone that, twenty years in the future, there’ll be almost one thousand of the damn things. What would they have said? They’d have laughed in your crazy, gray-whiskered face (because this is what every time traveler looks like, according to the world of sci-fi), and dragged you off to the town square to be burnt at the stake....

Developers 2K caught a lot of attention with their release of WWE 2K14 in 2013 and have taken the coveted helm of WWE games. The results have been divisive to say the least. We have seen four years of releases that have followed the new era of professional wrestling in a consistent manner, but usually, there are some factors (some out of control of the developers) that stop them from being able to give us that full experience....

A recent tweet showcasing a billboard featuring the cover art for Persona 5 Scramble: The Phantom Strikers has confirmed the game will be released in South Korea on June 18. The game is set to utilize the original Japanese voice acting but will feature Korean subtitles. Persona 5 Scramble: The Phantom Strikers, the sequel to Atlus’ mega-hit Persona 5, is a hack-and-slash game that follows the Phantom Thieves six months after their adventures in the parent game....
