Pokémon Café Mix is an all-new free-to-play Switch and mobile game that gives players a chance to run their very own Pokémon café, complete with Pokémon-themed dishes, Pokémon customers, and even Pokémon staff members! As players successfully complete orders and move forward in the game, satisfied Pokémon customers will begin to join the café staff. Each Pokémon staff member comes with their own unique “café skill”, a special ability that can be unlocked and used while completing orders, so long as that Pokémon is set as the “leader” before the order....

Hoothoot and its evolution Noctowl are pretty quintessential Pokémon at this point. They’re part of the second generation, but their simple concept of “they’re owls” makes them feel like first gen critters. That said, they also represent the concept of time, which was a big deal back when Gold & Silver introduced the in-game clock. Ash also had a shiny Noctowl at one point. So overall, these owl Pokémon are iconic....

The Pokemon Trading Card Game community has been exploding in popularity on social media as of late. Thanks in part to influencer Logan Paul making videos about Pokemon TCG collecting, the Pokemon card community has seen a vast increase in interest. Live streams of people opening trading card packs on platforms like YouTube and Twitch are getting high view counts, as viewers hope to see streamers pull rare cards. However, sometimes viewers see something else, like a disturbing detail in the artwork of a Shedinja card found in the new Vivid Voltage Pokemon TCG expansion set....

The Pokemon world may still be reacting to the recent awful Lotad shiny rates, but that isn’t stopping Pokemon GO from moving on to the next planned events. A new month is starting, which means it’s time to refresh the daily research tasks and encounter rewards and offer players the chance to earn some different Pokemon in exchange for daily tasks. Pokemon GO trainers will be working towards yet to be determined Legendary monsters with their weekly breakthrough rewards, but there are still plenty of other daily encounters to earn throughout April 2019....

Mega Evolutions were added to Pokemon GO at the end of last month, and developer Niantic has been working to get players involved with this new gameplay mechanic ever since. Last week, for instance, fans had access to a special Timed Research that encouraged them to do battle with Mega Evolved Pokemon, and now a brand new Mega-focused Timed Research is available for PoGO players to pursue. This Timed Research is part of the ongoing Mega Buddy Challenge event, and this guide has all of the details....

The Lake Trio have officially arrived in Pokemon GO, which means that players around the world are out battling in raids and trying to secure their region’s available piece of the legendary group. Now that Niantic explained how the Lake Trio appearances work, the community has a better idea about which creature they’ll be able to encounter in their own region. Although the majority of our readers may be facing off against Azelf right now (here’s a guide to Azelf counters), we still want to explain how the other two fights will go down, as well....

The latest Pokemon GO datamine has arrived and it is full of interesting information about upcoming features and tweaks to the game’s existing systems. The last datamine was very focused on adding events, like the return of Latios and Latias to raids, but this one is much more feature-focused. In addition to more groundwork for the coming enhancements to Pokemon GO’s AR system, this datamine also introduced a ton of code related to a new Stickers system....

As promised, the reveal of Pokemon GO’s Ultra Bonus reward arrived this morning. In a surprising twist, it turns out that two of the most popular theories about the reward are both coming true. Pokemon GO trainers earned the Ultra Bonus by completing the tasks throughout the summer’s three big in-person events. Thanks to all of that hard work, players are about to have the chance to catch more shiny legendary birds, see Mewtwo in non-EX Raids, and catch some of the regional Pokemon without leaving their hometown....

A Pokemon Sun and Moon producer reveals what he envisions the inside of a Pokeball looks like, answering a question many fans have debated about for years. Pokemon fans have often speculated exactly what happens when Pokemon are put inside Pokeballs, an argument which has lasted for years. While many believe that the precious Pokemon go to a Dr. Who tardis-esque space of luxury, others believe the Pokemon are horribly stuffed into a dark, tiny box, or perhaps even an alternate dimension where time and space don’t function like that do across the lands of the Alola Region....

Pokemon X player fills the Pokedex without progressing in the game by leveling up the Pokemon from the original area and trading with other Pokemon trainers. One of the best things about RPGs is that players can play and enjoy the game as they desire. Sometimes, gamers will avoid a game’s normal rules or story and set off on a journey of their own. When it comes to the world of Pokemon, there usually isn’t much a player can do outside of the normal progress of the game....

It’s time to put those architectural and engineering skills to the test, as Poly Bridge 2 has officially released for PC and is now available on both Steam and the Epic Games Store. For those unfamiliar with the Poly Bridge series, it is a quirky little puzzle and bridge-building simulator in which players build bridges across gaps with varying degrees of difficulty using geometry and physics to make bridges that will (hopefully) withstand the test of time and the weight of the vehicles that drive over them....

No Matter Studios announces that its crowdfunded action-adventure title Praey for the Gods will release on PS4 and PS5 in the first quarter of 2021. No Matter Studios is a very small studio of three developers and Praey for the Gods has been in development since 2016. Even with just three developers, No Matter Studios is gearing up to bring Praey for the Gods to PS5 using many of the next-generation console’s capabilities....

Despite the release of the PS5 and Xbox Series X still being a couple of months away, there have already been hints as to when gamers can expect to see their mid-gen upgrades. The next generation of console gaming inches closer by the day and before we know it, everyone will have either a PS5 or an Xbox Series X. Chances are more will own the former than the latter, but you never know....

A lot is going on in the world of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. Thanks to a PUBG leaker, there may be some more clarity on the future of the franchise and what to expect moving forward. PUBG 2 is reportedly still a thing that is set to arrive in 2022, and meanwhile the newly announced PUBG: New State is an entirely separate mobile-only experience. PUBG: New State was just announced a few days ago as an Android and iOS exclusive....

Tencent Games released the Season 13 Royale Pass Toy Playground for Player Unknown’s Battlegrounds Mobile on Wednesday, May 13th. The update to the PvP FPS comes with shiny toy-themed outfits, weapons, and vehicles, as well as new emotes.

Today, Ubisoft has announced a brand new limited-time event dubbed, “MUTE Protocol” for Rainbow Six Siege that will begin on August 4 and will run up to August 17, giving players two weeks to play the game mode.

Players will be able to get robot-themed operator cosmetics for the following operators: Jackal, Lion, and Ying, and Defenders Kapkan, Mira, Mute, Oryx, and Vigil....

10 Until Dawn When we think of Until Dawn, we get a bizarre sense of a game that is reminiscent of a teen horror flick. Appearances from actors like Rami Malek as Joshua Washington, Hayden Panettiere as Samantha, Peter Stormare as Dr. Hill, and Brett Dalton as Michael Munroe add to the excitement in Until Dawn. Something is amiss on Blackwood Mountain, and it’s the job of the player to find out what is going on....

From the humble origins of the Game Boy to the current days of the Switch, Nintendo has always been a force in handhelds. Today, we’ll be taking a look at all of their handheld consoles, and ranking them based on their design. We won’t be including every single variant of every handheld, such as models like the Game Boy Micro and the 3DS XL, but we will be including major revisions....

Every romance has a beginning, and every romance has an end… sometimes the story of each can be a killer. Such are the intimations at the heart of Daphne du Maurier’s Rebecca, which is being handsomely brought back to the screen by director Ben Wheatley in a new Netflix production. With Lily James and Armie Hammer stepping into the roles of a newlywed couple with more secrets than kisses, and Kristin Scott Thomas taking on the role of the most menacing housekeeper eveer, there is a lot to take in with the film’s first trailer....
