Gallade has been a well-known Pokémon since generation 4 when it was introduced. Although Gallade may not be as popular as its counterpart, Gardevoir, it is still one of the strongest Sinnoh Pokémon ever, and fans loved it when it got a new Mega evolution in generation 6. There are a bunch of drawings and digital art of Gallade out there for fans to fall in love with, just like they fell in love with this fan-favorite creature....

When fans discuss the Pokémon franchise, they often start in a place where they talk about their favorites. Some people prefer Pokémon based on their typing, others on how cute or cool looking they are. If you as a fan can find a Pokémon that’s both visual and strategically appealing to your tastes, it’s like you’ve found a hidden treasure. For Fire-type lovers, who are the best and worst of the bunch when it comes to design?...

Pokémon: Sword & Shield is the first original entry of the Pokémon franchise on the Nintendo Switch. Yes, Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Let’s Go, Eevee! released first but they are remakes of a previous entry, whereas Sword & Shield is a wholly new title. Sword & Shield introduced new regions and new Pokémon, with a couple of legendary Pokemon. However, the game excluded many of the previous generations of Pokémon....

Dragon-type Pokémon have been around nearly as long as Pokémon itself, having been introduced in Red and Blue in 1996. Dragon-types are a unique Pokémon type, mainly because they have the highest (on average) HP and base stats of all types, and dragon-types can only do super effective damage against their own type. Don’t confuse this with the idea that dragons aren’t strong–they are, but they’re strongest (and weakest) against their own....

It’s no secret that Pokémon Unite is one of the least popular announcements in the history of the series. Its reveal has amassed tons of dislikes on YouTube over the game’s partnership with Tencent and the likelihood of microtransactions, but many fans were simply disappointed that the Pokémon Company announced this MOBA instead of a new mainline game, or even a new entry in the Pokémon Let’s Go series. That said, a Pokémon MOBA isn’t inherently a bad idea for a game, as League of Legends has proved throughout the decade how polished and robust this genre can be....

In a Pokemon battle, having any slight edge over one’s opponent can mean the difference between sweet victory and bitter defeat. Ignoring the vast amount of uncontrollable factors that can spell tragedy, there is a long list of factors within a trainer’s control that they must take into account when building the ultimate team. Some of these factors include EVs, IVs, and movesets, but none are more interesting than choosing which item your Pokemon should hold....

After a very exciting, and possibly exhausting, long Community Day weekend, Pokemon GO players barely have a chance to catch their breath before the next events start firing off in the mobile AR game. This week players will be able to keep busy with a series of bonuses and special opportunities as part of the Secrets of the Jungle event and, once the weekend arrives, another Legendary special guest will be joining the Battle Raid rotation....

Pokemon GO is, in many ways, a game about resource management. Trainers are constantly determining the best ways to maximize value out of every piece of candy and portion of stardust. When trying to figure out if it is worth it to max out a high IV meta relevant Pokemon (like Tyranitar), there’s a lot of math to consider. Luckily, the Pokemon GO community is full of players who love to min max, do a ton of calculations, and share their findings with the rest of the world....

Pokemon GO’s second worldwide ticketed Special Research event is right around the corner. After the success of the Colossal Discovery research a few months ago, Niantic is ready to bring back another ticketed event in the form of A Drive to Investigate. Just like last time around, Pokemon GO players are going to be asked to drop about eight dollars for the opportunity to gain some items, special quests, and an early encounter with a new Mythical Pokemon in the mobile AR game....

The next Pokemon GO event has been announced.

During this window, Pokemon GO trainers will be able to get shiny Meltan, purchase new avatar items, and find other Pokemon in the wild. Meltan can be acquired by activating a Mystery Box during this event period....

Pokkén Tournament first launched for arcade systems in Japan in 2015, and then received home console versions in the forms of a Wii U and Switch version respectively. The premise is simple, in fact all you need to know about the game is in its name. Pokkén takes elements of the Tekken series and mixes them in with Pokémon characters. The game’s roster has expanded quite a bit with each version, and the Switch game has the complete roster to date available....

Nintendo’s announcement that it’s releasing a handheld console with an OLED screen got many thinking about the PS Vita which did the same thing years before. Nintendo finally did it. It announced that the rumors are true and the Switch is about to get a second sibling. The OLED Model. Not more powerful than the regular console, but a system that boasts a bigger and better screen, a LAN cable port, and a better stand,....

Scalpers are still an issue for folks looking to pick up the new PS5 or Xbox Series X, but one Tokyo electronics chain has implemented new guidelines to keep resellers at bay. The changes were announced after the company tried to sell PS5s in-store on a first-come-first-serve basis – only to be met with wild demand that ended with police intervention. Yodobashi Camera is one of the most popular electronics chains in Japan....

With the ongoing pandemic putting a strain on the video game industry, there have been tons of gamers curious about how it could affect the upcoming console launches. While some expect that the PS5 and Xbox Series X to eventually shift to 2021, both console’s manufactures seem steadfast in their belief that fall 2020 release dates are happening. But although the PS5 may still launch this year, a new report suggests that it might be harder to find....

The reveal of Psychonauts 2‘s upcoming invincibility toggle has reignited an increasingly frustrating debate over video game difficulty. In case you missed it, the Xbox team recently sent out a tweet that simply read “Beating the game on the lowest difficulty is still beating the game.” While that tweet proved to be controversial enough with those who strongly disagree with that seemingly simple sentiment (more on that in a bit), things really got interesting when Psychonauts 2 developer Double Fine decided to weigh in on the topic....

Microsoft’s big push this holiday season is with the Xbox One X, the system formerly known as Project Scorpio. Though the launch lineup for the new system took a slight hit with Crackdown 3 getting delayed into 2018, Microsoft still has a number of games ready to go for it, including many currently available titles which are getting updates to enhance them further. One such game is Remedy’s time manipulating shooter, Quantum Break, though the newly enhanced title is going to push player’s download speeds to the limit....
