With 890 Pokémon to choose from, it can be pretty hard to find that perfect party. So why not use your MBTI® to find the ideal setup for your next Pokémon game? An MBTI® is a short test to help the reader learn more about themselves than they usually would in a normal personality test. Unlike a typical test, this one explores your strengths, weaknesses, loves, hates, and even relationships with friends and family....
The Pokémon franchise has sustained itself and grown exponentially thanks in large part to kids and the relationship they build with the creatures they level up and evolve. Some kids feel the need to focus on specific types, while others enjoy building a well-rounded team built to withstand any challenge. Either way, you rarely hear about Pokémon trainers paying any real attention to Poison-type Pokémon no matter which generation it is....
Water-type is not the most popular choice when it comes to favorite Pokémon. However there are some particularly powerful ones out there, you just have to pick the right movesets. Pokémon Go is all about battles, be that PVP or in raids. Even though you want to catch them all and have a mighty Pokédex, it is still vital to choose the strongest companions to battle by your side. Although there aren’t many legendary water-type Pokémon, you are still spoilt for choice when it comes to doing some extreme amounts of water damage....
While U.S. Pokémon trainers are gearing up to enjoy barbecue and fireworks, European Pokémon Go players have their own reason to celebrate. Corsola, a Pokémon never-before seen in the continent, is available all over Europe as part of a special event. Some players, however, don’t see this as a cause for partying. That’s because the event only exists to make up for another troubled event. Last week saw Dortmund, Germany hosting a Safari Zone event....
Pokémon Legends: Arceus might take place in the past, but it has plenty of new Pokémon to catch, some of which require special items before they can evolve. One such item is the mysterious Black Augurite. In prior Pokémon games (Generation 1 titles notwithstanding), Scyther could only evolve into Scizor when traded while holding a Metal Coat. Likewise, Scyther can evolve into Kleavor when given a new item called Black Augurite....
There’s definitely a lot to say about Pokémon Legends: Arceus (we’ve certainly had quite a lot to say about the game so far), but it’s not exactly a surprise that some players are already rushing to figure out who the most powerful Pokémon in the game is. So far as that goes, it first has to be said that the idea of “strongest” or “most powerful” in this context is a little difficult to accurately talk about with absolute certainty....
When the Pokémon anime debuted, it captured our hearts and evolved into the Poké-crave that we all know and love today. Just like that episode of South Park when Cartman can’t stop singing Come Sail Away after hearing just a few lines, you can’t hear (or read) the first few words of the original Pokémon intro without finishing it. Someone could casually mention before a big test that they want to be the very best, and if the rest of the class lived through the 90s, they will reply with, “Like no one ever was!...
Pokémon Sword & Shield’s Isle of Armor DLC opened the borders of Galar just a little. Now a new batch of Pokémon, around 100, have permission to enter Generation VIII. Many are walking around the new and improved Wild Area, but there are also some hidden gems. In TheGamer’s Pokédex guide series, we chronicle all the Pokémon and where to find them. This entry is all about Clauncher, the Water Gun Pokémon....
This year’s Pokémon TCG Fall mini-set is Champion’s Path — a uniquely themed expansion even among the other mini-sets. Rather than building the selection of cards around a theme like shiny Pokémon in Hidden Fates or dragon Pokémon in Dragon Majesty, Champion’s Path’s theme exists solely in the packaging of the various boxes and collection that are part of the set. In Champion’s Path, players are cast in the role of trainers in the Galar region on a quest to collect all 10 Galar League gym badges....
Legendary Pokemon have been a staple of the Pokemon games. However, newer generations have had more experimental approaches to them in that respect. For one, since Generation IV, select Legendary Pokemon now come in an original form and a shiny new, more powerful form. Thanks to the different bits of lore surrounding different Legendary Pokemon, certain ones will have stronger alternate forms than others. Of course, they’re Legendary Pokemon, so many of them are overpowered in some way, as they’re improving something that’s already great....
April 20 has arrived, which means that Pokemon GO players in the Sentosa, Singapore regions are busy celebrating the new Safari Zone event by catching as many shiny Shuckle as possible. In a surprise turn of events, it seems that the weekend also includes the addition of a new shiny that is seemingly available far outside of the designated Safari Zone. Multiple players on Reddit from around the world have shared screenshots that suggest they encountered shiny copies of Lapras starting this morning....
Now that the long-awaited legendary dog Pokemon have finally made their appearance in Pokemon GO, trainers all around the globe are doing battle with Raikou, Suicune, and Entei in fierce new raid battles. However, developer Niantic has done something unique by limiting the Legendary Pokemon to specific regions, which means that Pokemon GO players will not want to waste any opportunity to beat and then catch the latest additions. With players desperate to get their hands on the first legendaries of generation two, it wasn’t long before some dedicated users worked out the best counters to each of the three roaming Pokemon....
Update: Niantic has confirmed Harry Potter: Wizard’s Unite in a developer update: Original article follows… We’re incredibly excited to announce this next step in the evolution of AR mobile entertainment. With Harry Potter: Wizards Unite, players that have been dreaming of becoming real life Wizards will finally get the chance to experience J.K. Rowling’s Wizarding World. Players will learn spells, explore their real world neighborhoods and cities to discover & fight legendary beasts and team up with others to Take Down powerful enemies....
Pokemon GO’s latest event, the weeklong Unova Celebration, is currently underway. That means that trainers are able to head out and enjoy a number of features and bonuses as they race around completing Unova Battle Raids and working on other tasks and challenges to help fill in any remaining spaces in the Unova section of their Pokedex. One interesting new feature coming to Pokemon GO for the first time as part of this event is the Collection Challenge....
Pokemon has maintained its tried and true formula we all know by heart for the last twenty some odd years now. While minor changes have been made game to game, Sword and Shield is where the main series really began taking new strides. One of those innovations, the Box Link, revolutionized the classic Pokemon Storage System. Sonia introduces the Box Link early in Sword and Shield’s storyline when players step into the Wild Area for the first time....
The idea of using substitutes in professional CS:GO is causing quite a stir. Some of the major tournaments have rules against substitutes, and using them can result in a loss of ranking points. Other organizers like BLAST allow changes to the lineup between maps and are considering allowing half-time changes. The regular “five a side” format has been used to great success over the last 20 years. It’s what people are used to, and for many, its a case of “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it....
Some games are built from the ground up to appeal to the mass market. Considering how much it costs to develop a game (AAA or indie), it makes sense to develop a product that can be accessible to the largest audience of consumers possible. Project Cars wastes no time hiding the fact that this crowdfunded racing sim does not follow those rules. Project Cars provides one of the most realistic and addicting racing simulations that we’ve ever played, but may lose many gamers due to its lack of tutorials and basic training....
PlayStation Plus subscribers can claim their three games for the month now, with these being Destruction AllStars, Control: Ultimate Edition, and Concrete Genie. Needless to say, while the reviews for Destruction AllStars probably aren’t exactly what Lucid Games was looking for, it’s an overall impressive month. Indeed, it would seem the last time PS Plus had a “bad” month was May 2020 when its select titles were Farming Simulator 19 and Cities: Skylines....
EA opened its E3 2018 press conference with a bang, finally confirming that Battlefield V will have a battle royale mode. Details about the multiplayer game mode have yet to be fully revealed, but it was enough to get fans excited. It was also enough for one very famous battle royale developer to take notice. Not long after the Battlefield V battle royale announcement was made, Brendan “PlayerUnknown” Greene of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds fame, took to Twitter to respond....
A new found footage trailer for Remedy Entertainment’s Quantum Break officially releases, featuring actor Dominic Monaghan testing his new time machine. Remedy Entertainment has released a new live-action video for their upcoming title, Quantum Break. The video was made available to the public yesterday and ties in heavily to the game’s time-traveling theme. The trailer is presented in a found footage format, with Dr. William Joyce, who is played by Lord of the Rings actor Dominic Monaghan, testing his newly completed time machine in front of a camera....
