As of the financial year ending March 31, 2021, the Persona franchise as a whole has sold 15 million units. Persona Central reports that number was just 13.1 million back in March 2020, which is a value that includes burgeoning digital sales as a result of the pandemic....

Devolver Digital published a brand new game into the echelons of Steam’s Early Access today. It’s called Phantom Abyss, and it’s already a top seller on the platform. In fact, it’s number one in Steam’s Early Access already, and you can pick it up at a launch discount of 20% off at $19.99. That’s a whole coffee’s worth sliced from the price tag.

The fourth Generation of Pokémon is one of the most beloved, thanks to its memorable cast of characters, great story, and of course, tons of new Pokémon, many of which would become fan favorites. A big part of why Diamond & Pearl (and Platinum) are remembered so fondly is thanks to the cast of Gym Leaders.

What is shaping up to be a very busy July just got even busier as Niantic revealed what the featured Pokémon and bonuses will be during this month’s Spotlight Hours. This month will mark the fourth anniversary of the day Pokémon GO launched. The world was a very different place back then. A global pandemic was something reserved for movie theaters. That summer was the exact opposite of what this one will be....

The Pokémon franchise has been running strong for just over 25 years. According to outlets such as Gamespot, the latest entries in the series, Scarlet and Violet, sold over 10 million copies within the first three days. It’s not hard to see why. On the surface, Pokémon Scarlet and Violet provide everything fans expect from the franchise. Around 400 monsters to catch, train, and lead into battle? Check. The large, open-world players have been begging for?...

Pokémon has been a big deal all over the world, especially the United States and Japan, for years now. A lot of fans started watching young when the television show first appeared in the U.S. back in the 90s to some high appeal. Other shows were able to branch off of this success and become quite popular as well. Perhaps our inner-child all came out when Pokémon Go! first came out from Nintendo....

Here’s where you can find Klefki on the Isle of Armor in Pokémon Sword & Shield. Some Pokémon are these fantastic beasts that look like nothing we’ve ever seen in reality, like Mawile or Haxorus. And then there are Pokémon that really seem like Game Freak was just trying to pad out the current generation’s Pokédex. Klefki is one of those Pokémon. It’s a floating set of keys. Whoop-de-doo. But don’t be fooled by Klefki’s appearance....

Pokémon as a franchise has found success due to having a large roster of endearing creatures fans want to catch, train, and bond with. Since the original games, Grass-type Pokémon have been seen as inferior to both Water and Fire-types simply due to the precedent the Kanto starters established. Grass-types have their strengths despite these assumptions, and many of them have base forms that aren’t too difficult to catch. Let’s now take a look at and rank the 10 Grass-type Pokémon with the highest catch rate, through Pokémon Sword & Shield....

Pokemon: it’s Nintendo’s biggest media franchise, and it keeps on growing every year. Perhaps the reason Pokemon appeals to so many people is the potential for complex strategy that it offers its players. Right from the beginning of its life as a series, Pokemon developed a strong competitive scene that has continued to pull in players from all across the world. There are many factors to consider when crafting the perfect team: type coverages, perfect IVs, beneficial natures, and movesets, to name only some, but perhaps the most interesting factor in team-building is held items....

Pokemon GO trainers are likely feeling a little sad about many of the upcoming in-person events being postponed or cancelled, but Niantic is trying to do everything it can to keep the community engaged and active, even if many players can’t leave their houses during the current situation.

So far, Pokemon GO’s new Research mechanic seems to be a major hit. The new feature offers players tasks to complete on a daily basis with rewards that are actually exciting and provide some real motivation to stay logged in and playing. Although many of the Field Research quest rewards are items, some quests also have the chance to reward a special encounter. Although the encounter may seem like a mystery, Pokemon GO players who don’t mind spoilers can actually figure out which pokemon they’ll be seeing....

The fabled day of cross-gen evolutions has come to Niantic’s mobile ARG Pokemon GO. Now, while not every single evolution has come to the game as of yet, we do know how to evolve the likes of Rhydon, Magmar, and Electabuzz into Rhypherior, Magmortar, and Electivire. Of course, players will want to first save up their candy, as each evolution requires 100 candy, which is no surprise. For some, the surprise may be the addition of a new Pokemon GO evolutionary item: the Sinnoh Stone....

Although trainers may not be able to head out into the world and explore their communities in many parts of the world right now, Pokemon GO isn’t slowing down its barrage of 2020 events. The mobile AR game has done an incredible job of optimizing events for stay-at-home play and April has been jam-packed with a new constant stream of activities. The latest datamine suggests that won’t be slowing down and another big event is on the way....
