Next week there will be 20 minutes of news about Pokémon, with a livestream that just so happens to land on Pokémon day (February 27th). There’s no word on what to expect, but I’m desperate for an update on Pokémon Sleep.
You can pre-order this giant Wailord plush toy that’s one-tenth the size of an actual Wailord right now for $420. It won’t ship until November, but I imagine the wait will be worth it — look at big boi!!
It’s a question that has only become harder to answer over the years, as the ranks of the pocket monsters have swelled considerably. In fact, Pokémon has now hit a major milestone, crossing the 1,000 monster mark. You can check them all out in the video below. Of course, while some are memorable and beloved, others are just Trubbish.
The series’ creators have removed features like the Pokérus, which once gave the games their charming mystery.
At least you don’t have to carry multiple phones like the speedrunners who play Pokémon Go...
Here’s our Violet and Scarlet review.
Pokémon Scarlet and Violet’s second-generation Rotom Phone can’t take great photos, but it can save your life.
The first truly open-world Pokémon games are here with the release of Violet and Scarlet on the Switch today.
They’re great games, offering more freedom than any Pokémon adventure before — but that comes at a cost, with some frustrating technical issues that hamper the experience. At least the new grass cat starter is plenty adorable.
The latest Pokémon release is a big, expansive adventure that also pushes the Nintendo Switch to its limits.
No matter where the series goes, much of its appeal lies in the past, and that tension was on display at a recent exhibition in Manchester.
And it’s called Gimmighoul. Nintendo confirmed the name — and appearance — of the mysterious purple creature after a data miner spotted it in the Pokémon Go app last week.
In its chest form, Gimmighoul wears a treasure chest as its shell, while in its roaming form, it carries a gold coin on its back. The quirky ghost-type Pokémon will make an appearance in the upcoming Pokémon Violet and Scarlet, as well as in Pokémon Go.
We’ve already met Wiglett, Grafaiai, and the adorable Fidough, but a Pokémon Go data miner uncovered a new “coin” Pokémon that could appear in the upcoming Scarlet and Violet games.
The purple, bug-like pocket monster has a gold coin on its back that appears to be held up by its tail (or a third antenna?). Eagle-eyed fans first spotted the creature during a game trailer released in October.
A video about ghosts shouldn’t be this cute. But the latest clip from Pokémon Scarlet and Violet reveals a new ghost-type creature that’s a furry dog with a candle on its head. It loves to play fetch and seems more cuddly than spooky, but I’m not complaining.
Pokémon Scarlet and Violet will make you want to explore every inch of the open-world Paldea region
Another day, another new creature reveal for Pokémon Violet and Scarlet. This time it’s an electric frog-looking thing called Bellibolt that — you guessed it — generates electricity with its belly button.
According to the official description, “the huge amount of electricity generated this way is then discharged from the two bumps on either side of its head that resemble eyeballs.” But don’t worry: “its actual eyes are adorably small and round.”
The latest clip from Pokémon Violet and Scarlet introduces a character named Iono, who is not only a gym leader, but also apparently a famous streamer and influencer as well. She certainly knows how to dress. If you want to know more about the actual games, meanwhile, be sure to check out this 14-minute-long video from last week, which is packed with details.
The lead up to the launch of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet has been full of new creature reveals, and the latest is a weird little guy called Wiglett. It looks like Diglett on a beach holiday, and according to the developers, “it’s still unclear what the rest of its body hidden in the sand is like or how long it might be.” No thank you.
