When thinking of the best titles in the Pokémon franchise, older fans will often point to Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal as top-tier games. The sequel to the smashing success of Red and Blue nearly doubled the size of the world and the roster of catch-able critters. While some may argue that Johto’s designs are lacking in originality, as an expansion to the original roster they blend in perfectly. The remakes HeartGold and SoulSilver are even more fondly remembered, with all of the great changes made in Gen IV in addition to the classic content....

If you’ve ever wanted to completely pass out on a body pillow shaped like everyone’s favorite electric-type Pokémon Pikachu, then you are in luck - you can now pre-order this giant body pillow resembling Pikachu’s lightning-shaped tail. The Pokémon Company has just announced a brand new product to join their already impressive and vast roster. The latest product is called the “Pikachu Tail body pillow” and will be available at the Pokémon Center Japan....

This year, one of the biggest media franchises in the world will be celebrating its 25th anniversary. This series is none other than Pokemon, and it appears that The Pokemon Company will be going all out. Besides the reveal of New Pokemon Snap, the re-release of classic Pokemon cards, and North Face x Gucci items in Pokemon GO, the Japanese company has also announced a collaboration with one of the biggest pop stars of all-time....

I first got my hands on Pokemon Emerald shortly before my tenth birthday, meaning I was pretty much at the peak of my endeavors to become a bonafide Pokemon master. I remember we all used to stack massive piles of books at the ends of our desks in school so that we could cheekily play our GameBoy Advances behind them. Our teacher at the time was quite old and almost completely unsuspecting of any mischief - all we had to do was chirp up every now and then and we could battle away to our heart’s content....

The raid bosses for Pokemon GO have switched around once more, making the current raid boss for tier five raids be Tornadus in its Incarnate Forme. This legendary Pokemon is one of the three Forces of Nature Pokemon with the other two being Thundurus and Landorus. As both a legendary Pokemon and a tier five raid boss, Tornadus can be quite the challenge to overcome for Pokemon GO players. Luckily, players can take it down with the help of good counters and other players fighting by their side....

Pokemon GO’s latest event, the Hoenn Celebration, is now underway. That means players have the better part of a week to go around completing special tasks, hatching Eggs, and participating in Battle Raids to help fill in the missing spots in the Hoenn section of their Pokedex. One of the most exciting parts of the event includes the return of a very powerful Legendary Pokemon: Groudon. Groudon has an important place in the Pokemon GO metagame and has continued to be a key performer in both PvE and PvP scenarios....

There are a ton of Technical Machines — or TMs — in Sword & Shield. There are 99 in total, one short of tying for the most of any generation. Twelve of these are Psychic-type moves, which makes this type take up more than a tenth of all available TMs. Some of them are damaging moves, others are status moves, and some have some crazy effects that make battling a much more complicated process....

In spite of Niantic making sweeping changes to its games, including Pokemon GO, players still like to get out of their homes to play. Even if it means breaking the law and coronavirus lockdowns, like one man in southern England was pulled over for. Traditionally, Pokemon GO is a game all about getting out the house, going for walks, and meeting up with others for raids and gym battles. However, with the coronavirus cancelling many events and forcing many players into their homes for extended periods of time, Pokemon GO has had to update the way its games are played to make it easier to raid from home and more....

Polyient Games is funding the next generation of blockchain-based gaming. We’ve seen a couple of games use blockchain technology as their backbone. There’s Skyweaver, the Hearthstone-competing card game that uses the blockchain to provide players with actual ownership of the digital cards that they draw. And then there’s The Sandbox, the far more ambitious digital platform that uses the blockchain to give game designers exclusive ownership rights to whatever they produce for The Sandbox, whether it be game assets or totally new games....

Research firm DFC Intelligence predicts that the Sony PlayStation 4 will sell over 100 million units by 2020 and that the Nintendo NX may not be ready for its big debut. Sony’s PlayStation 4 is experiencing a phenomenal amount of success. Initially beating out its closest rival, the Xbox One, due to the backlash surrounding Microsoft’s plans to make the console ‘always on’ (users would have to connect to the Internet once every 24 hours), Sony’s console has been going strong for over two years now...

As promised, Sony has offered a deep dive on the PlayStation 5’s technology, confirming the next-generation console’s specs in the process. And now that the PS5 specs have been confirmed, fans can compare them to the Xbox Series X specs. On paper, there are some considerable differences between the PS5 and Xbox Series X specs that consumers should take note of. For example, the PS5 GPU offers 10.28 teraflops versus the Xbox Series X’s 12 teraflops....

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is still going strong after its 4-year anniversary, and although the Battle Royale market has been flooded with games ever since its release, there are still plenty of reasons to check out PUBG in 2021. Even if it’s to prepare for the release of PUBG 2, which is in development, by the way. Whether you’re an ex-player on a nostalgic trip back to Erangel, or a new player experiencing the game for the first time, there are some things you should remember....

Rainbow Six Extraction‘s blend of team-based tactics and action certainly takes some getting used to, but you can make the game much easier on yourself by taking a little time to learn about the game’s 18 operators and trying to find the one that is best for you. “Best for you” is the key thing to keep in mind here. Because Extraction is a fairly well-balanced game when it comes to the available operators, your choice of which operator to play as is really going to come down to your personal preferences/skills (as well as what your team needs the most at any given moment)....

Ubisoft is poised to do a fully-fledged reveal of Operation Blood Orchid for Rainbow Six Siege during the Pro League Finals on August 26, but that doesn’t mean the studio is remaining completely mum on the upcoming Year 2 content. Today, Ubisoft has given fans their first in-depth look at Operation Blood Orchid’s Theme Park map, which plays host to a variety of amusement park tropes in various states of disrepair....

Red Dead Online players are expressing their discontent with Rockstar Games. Although the developer has stepped in to fix major issues with the game, such as when hackers spawned in KKK members, fans are growing impatient as they wait for the game’s next major update. Some of Rockstar’s most notable updates were months ago, when the developer introduced the Moonshiner role in December and Frontier Pursuit Free Roam missions in January....

The Van Der Linde Gang is central to everything that happens in Red Dead Redemption 2. And the crew is filled with 26 members who all have their own distinct personalities. Naturally, there are some unsavory people among the bunch because a person’s level of kindness isn’t a priority for an outlaw group. What is important, though, is how much they contribute. Nobody wants to risk their life just to share food and resources with those who do nothing....

Red Dead Redemption 2 may be releasing on October 26 – Rockstar did promise no more delays – but very little has been made known about the highly anticipated sequel.
