April may have only just begun but Pokémon GO’s research tasks for the month are ready and raring to go. Here’s a quick rundown of every last one of them. For a visual guide, visit The Silph Road. A new month has begun and that means new field research in Pokémon GO. There’s a lot to get through, a mix of both new and old, so let’s get started right away....
Artwork celebrating Pokémon GO’s fourth anniversary has teased the arrival of Gen VI, while Gen III still remains incomplete. The addition of trophies and side quests to video games has made most about so much more than just completing the main story. That might satisfy some gamers, but others want to explore every inch of what a game has to offer. There is no better example of that then the Pokémon franchise....
Bergmite is a cute little Ice-type Pokémon that looks like a living iceberg. Then it evolves into the monstrous Avalugg, which has great Defenses but unfortunate typing. It was introduced in Gen VI as part of the X/Y crew. Now it returns as part of the Sword & Shield Pokédex. Where To Find Bergmite In Sword & Shield As one can easily guess, Bergmite likes the snowy part of Galar. It can be found on the icy route to Spikemuth, Route 9....
Durant is a Steel/Bug-type ant Pokémon created for Gen V. It has a rivalry with Heatmor, the anteater Pokémon, based on both being an ant and because Heatmor’s Fire typing can melt it. Strangely enough, we don’t ever see a Durant queen. If you want to catch one to fill your Sword & Shield Pokédex, you’ll need to get the average worker. Where To Find Durant In Sword & Shield First off, you should know that Durant spawns more frequently in Sword....
There are currently 932 Pokemon in existence with no end in sight. This poses a massive challenge for those who actually want to catch them all, but not every trainer has that end goal in mind while playing these games. Some trainers just want to catch the ones that they like, raise them, and use them in battle. In that regard, 932 Pokemon is actually a massive boon. This allows trainers of all tastes and preferences to find a Pokemon with typing and visual design that suits them perfectly....
At the time of writing, there are a total of 898 unique species of Pokemon. When regional variations and Mega Evolutions are taken into account though, that number rises to almost 1,000. It’s a staggering and sobering total, but as long-time fans of the series will know, it all began with far fewer. The original Pokemon titles contained just 151 Pokemon, with each new generation of games adding more and more creatures to the Pokedex over time....
Pokemon GO players finally have a brief break between seemingly never ending in-game events, but that doesn’t mean there’s nothing to do in the mobile AR game. The start of a new month, and the release of the legendary Lake Trio, mean that there is a fresh batch of Battle Raid bosses for players to face off against and catch. The new raid bosses have caused a lot of excitement and confusion in the Pokemon GO community over the last few days....
Pokemon GO’s Water Festival 2018 is fully underway, which means players are out hunting down shiny monsters, collection extra stardust, and fighting Kyogre in Legendary Battle Raids. In addition to all of that excitement, the possible hatches from 2km eggs have also changed a bit during the event to make for some much more exciting ‘Oh?’ moments. Niantic’s press release about the water types showing up in 2km eggs was pretty vague and didn’t offer a full list of which pokemon players might end up hatching....
Trainer battles, Pokemon GO’s player versus player equivalent, has undergone a number of changes over the past couple of weeks. In an effort to better balance the mode, many fast and charge attacks had their damage output tweaked including moves like razor leaf, smackdown, waterfall, and body slam. Apparently, Niantic isn’t quite done with its tweaks to Trainer Battles as the latest update from the studio reveals even more changes on the way....
Making the decision early last month, popular Twitch mainstay Pokimane opted to take a break from the streaming scene to take time for her mental health, telling her fans she felt burnt-out and was lacking motivation. Viewers have since eagerly awaited the streamer’s return, with Pokimane arguably enjoying the most popular stint of her career over the last year. It seems the streamer will be back much sooner than some might expect, however, with Pokimane taking to Twitter to announce that she’ll be streaming tomorrow at 12pm PST....
Poncho is a fun but sometimes ponderous platform puzzler, with an impressive core mechanic and fun visuals that are slightly let down by moments of frustrating gameplay. For developers without huge marketing budgets, it’s vitally important for their creations to have something that can immediately catch the eye and imagination of the gaming community. Nowhere is this more true than in the world of platformers, where a single unique game mechanic can make the difference between commercial success and obscurity....
Originally released in 1972, Pong from Atari is one of the first video games ever made. The simple table tennis sports game is a permanent fixture in our popular culture, and iterations of it are still released today. One of the latest versions of Pong is one of the most creative versions of the game yet, combining its simplistic table tennis gameplay with the ongoing battle royale craze that has taken the video game industry by storm....
Even though school is starting to wind down for the summer, gamers can keep the good times (?) rolling with developer Genius Slackers’ upcoming psychological horror thriller, What Happened. While we’ve certainly all had rough patches at some point during our high school days, it’s safe to say that player-controlled Stiles has it especially hard considering the real and imagined twisted forces that lure him towards self-destruction. Players will enter the mind of high school student Stiles; a dark and demented place full of evil creatures and puzzles that Stiles will have to overcome in an effort to escape the horrors and reach the light at the end of the tunnel....
When Puyo Puyo Tetris hit the scene in 2017 (technically 2014, if we’re talking the Japanese release,) many were blindsided by how excellent of a combination the two puzzle games made. For two puzzles titles with vastly different sets of rules, Puyo Pop and Tetris naturally fell in together. It was almost like each game was meant to meet one day, duking it out in the virtual battlefield for supremacy....
Hearthstone has revealed that Quilboars are finally making their way to Battlegrounds once patch 20.2 arrives next week. The update features 17 new minions, 3 new heroes, and the Blood Gems mechanic, all themed around the Forged in the Barrens expansion. The new Blood Gems mechanic is a 0-mana spell that allows you to buff a minion with +1/+1 to its stats, and they appear to only generate from playing certain Quilboar tribe cards like Razorfen Geomancer....
Phase Two of the Marvel Cinematic Universe built on the foundations of the first batch of movies with a few sequels (Thor: The Dark World, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Avengers: Age Of Ultron), a threequel (Iron Man 3) and a couple of new introductions (Guardians Of The Galaxy, Ant-Man). And while there were inevitably some high points and not-so-high points, Phase Two really set the franchise on the road to Infinity War, uncovering more Infinity Stones and properly introducing us to the MCU’s ultimate big bad, Thanos....
Earlier in 2020, reports claimed Rachel McAdams would not reprise her role as Dr. Christine Palmer in Marvel Studios’ Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Months later, McAdams is now potentially set to reunite with co-star Benedict Cumberbatch in the Doctor Strange sequel after all. McAdams’ first portrayed Dr. Palmer in the first Doctor Strange film, where the character was depicted as a fellow surgeon and ex-girlfriend to Cumberbatch’s Stephen Strange....
Rainbow Six Siege debuted an animated short during E3 2021, giving us a closer look at Thunderbird, an upcoming operator included in the North Star update – which was finally announced for a June 14 launch. Although we didn’t get to see much of Thunderbird in action, the short animated trailer provided more details about their background. It only runs for a few minutes, but you can check out the brand-new trailer below:...
This Raised by Wolves article contains spoilers. Employing a hybrid release model that avoided dropping an entire season at once, the HBO Max science fiction series Raised by Wolves concludes its initial season with far more questions than answers and gives fans a lot to process while waiting for the just announced continuation. With a science vs religion theme providing a steady undercurrent, the show also explores mankind’s evolution and its accompanying growing pains while still finding time to weigh in on whether or not an AI can ever be viewed as a person....
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is the culmination of everything Smash Bros. up to this point in the series’ life. As such, it makes sense that the title features every single stage that has been featured in a Smash Bros. game. Well, almost every stage. There are actually seventeen total stages that for one reason or another didn’t make the cut for Ultimate. Today, we’ll be taking a look at these stages and ranking them....
