Pokémon games are more than just creative creature designs and theatrics. Some gamers enjoy going with the flow of the storyline and just playing the game casually. However, many players take great pleasure in planning out strategies based on a Pokémon’s stats and abilities for battle. Currently, there are no abilities exclusive to Dark-type Pokémon, but that doesn’t mean these friends don’t pack powerful abilities. These are ten powerful abilities you can find with Dark-type Pokémon....

Generation 4 of Pokémon added many powerful creatures to the franchise that helped diversify the roster of different Pokémon at the time. Despite some of the stronger creatures introduced, such as Empoleon and Garchomp, some of the other creatures that were new weren’t very powerful at all. Pokémon, such as Bidoof and Kricketot, were easily discarded as not usable in competitive battling because they didn’t have many things that set them apart from other Pokémon that were similar in terms of stats and move sets....

Every Pokémon region has its strengths and weaknesses, and Hoenn is no exception. The Generation III games radically changed the series forever, and this fantastically-designed region would be home to many of these changes, at least until the Kanto remakes were released, bringing their own updates to the franchise. Hoenn, like any other region, isn’t perfect. But, it is terrific in other regards, and has a pretty loyal following of fans who consider it the best region....

Pokémon Sword & Shield was met with mostly positive criticism as the Pokémon series saw quite a leap from handheld to the hybrid gaming machine known as the Nintendo Switch. The game’s playable area is quite large and is home to a variety of locations. Some of them feel like brand new experiences, while others feel like franchise staples that seemingly show up in every region. Which are worth seeing, and which are worth flying over?...

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 Skrelp, the little Gen VI kelp dragon....

One of the most beloved Pokémon in series history is Gardevoir, and this Fairy/Psychic-type fan favorite has fortunately made it into Sword & Shield. If you’re looking to add this Generation-III favorite or its counterpart, Gallade, to your team, you’ll probably want to start by catching a Ralts. Ralts is a very weak and small Pokémon that will evolve into Kirlia and, eventually, Gardevoir or Gallade, depending on the player’s choice....

Pokémon Sword and Shield recently received its first batch of DLC with the Isle of Armor, which added a whole range of new content including a new area, story quests, Pokémon, features, and more. Fans were excited to see that some of the Pokémon from older generations were finally making a return to the game, though disappointingly there are many fan-favorites who are still missing. In particular, there are many Pokémon from the third generation that fans are still anxious to have back, so check out these ten Hoenn Pokémon that should have been included in the Isle of Armor....

Sometimes, a game comes along that is such a perfect blending of themes that it makes you want to slap your head and say, “Why didn’t I think of this?” A lot of us had this experience when Tetris 99 came out last year. The most iconic puzzle game of all time is such a perfect match for the 1vs100 battle royale genre. It’s almost remarkable that Tetris 99 wasn’t made sooner....

Pokemon GO’s latest event kicks off today and puts the spotlight back on Gen 3 creatures. The Hoenn Region event has a lot of great bonuses, special spawns, and returning Raid Bosses, but completionists might be most excited to hear about the two new shiny families that have been unlocked by the event. To help celebrate the event, Niantic is release shiny versions of both Zigzagoon and Taillow. Since each of those Pokemon have an evolution, that means there are a handful of brand new shiny monsters to collect for players who have to have ’em all....

In the days since Pokemon GO fans first caught word that the monster-catching mobile game would introduce Generation 3 Pokemon to the mix as part of the title’s upcoming Halloween event, excitement has been at an all-time high. Niantic kicked things up a notch when it announced that the new pocked-sized creatures would arrive to Pokemon GO beginning tomorrow, October 20, in a “gradual” release of the Hoenn region-residing Pokemon....

Pokemon GO has had a big impact on the scene for mobile games, but the augmented reality that brings the game to life may also be changing the world of theater as well. Niantic has announced a partnership with an immersive theater company called Punchdrunk, bringing the mobile game’s augmented reality to theatrical performances in real world. Niantic has brought games like Pokemon GO to new heights, and more is rumored to be on the way with a Premier Cup potentially being added....

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX is another great spin-off for the successful franchise. A remake of the old 2005 Nintendo DS/Game Boy Advance titles, the Switch version brings with it updated graphics and several new gameplay mechanics. One feature that players will want to take advantage of is Wonder Mail, as it will grant them a bunch of free items just for entering a short code. Like many other Nintendo games — including Sword & Shield and Super Kirby Clash — Mystery Dungeon DX lets users input codes to receive free items....

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time’s heavily anticipated remake has now been indefinitely delayed, after following a short delay from January 2021 to a later release date of March 2021. While many fans are disappointed with the delays, it does mean that Ubisoft is reprioritizing development which is a good thing after all. Fans are already clamoring to know what’s in store for the remake, and Ubisoft seems to have been hinting at a couple of surprises in store....

It’s no secret that Grand Theft Auto has become a household name in the modern world (although the reasons for this might wildly differ). The controversial title has become one of the bestselling video games of all time for a number of reasons (good and bad). There’s no one who can argue when it comes to the fact that Rockstar has truly created one of the best video game series of all time that has constantly evolved with each successive generation of video gaming in order to provide us with a memorable experience every single time another title is introduced to the main series....

Originally revealed earlier this summer during the PlayStation 5 reveal event back in June, the arcade style destruction derby title, Destruction AllStars has been largely a mystery with fans. For most of the summer and as the launch of the PlayStation 5 approached, developer Lucid Games was seemingly content to fly under the radar leaving fans to wonder what the game would play like. For better or worse, the title was delayed out of the PS5 launch window into early in 2021, giving the developer more time to work on the title and reveal more details surrounding the game....

When Epic Games announced the addition of a free to play battle-royal mode to their then burgeoning title Fortnite, comparisons to Player Unknown’s Battlegrounds quickly began to emerge. Since then, the shooter builder survival hybrid has become Battleground’s biggest competitor and now it seems the rivalry has gone to new heights, with PUBG Corp. taking Epic Games to court over the two games similarities. According to a report from the Korean Times on Friday, PUBG Corp....

This Quantum Leap review contains spoilers. Quantum Leap Episode 7 Quantum Leap episode 7 “O Ye of Little Faith,” is the episode diehard fans have been waiting for in the sequel series. The original show carried with it specific sensibilities of good versus evil, God and the Devil, the power of the subconscious versus the rational mind and the separation of science and religious belief. These tropes popped up from time to time through all the original five seasons, but certainly the Halloween episodes and a good deal of season 5 drove full throttle into the seemingly unscientific questions of faith....

Since its launch in 1993, Magic: The Gathering has remained one of the most popular trading card games out there, with over 20 million players and an endless stream of expansion packs. Magic: The Gathering’s popularity has seen some of its rarer cards become worth big bucks, such as the rare Alpha print Black Lotus card that recently sold for a staggering $87,672 on eBay. For the uninitiated, Alpha prints for Magic: The Gathering are the black border cards, as opposed to the more widely available white border cards....

In general, video game lengths are calculated by the time it takes players to finish said video games, but what about time according to the in-game characters? For instance, how much time in-game time passed in the story of Arthur Morgan in Red Dead Redemption 2? As spotted by GameRant, a redditor, aptly named knowledgeseeker1899, figured out a way to calculate the timeline based on the stages of tuberculosis Arthur shows symptoms of....
