Mega Evolution played a rather subdued role in Pokemon Sun & Moon, only popping up in the post-game – and even then, not all the Mega Stones that were available in the generation 6 games could be obtained. However, this will soon be rectified.

The Pokemon Company announced today that it plans to distribute the missing Mega Stones as entry gifts for online competitions in Pokemon Sun & Moon. The first of these will be the Beedrillite and the Mawilite – they will be available through an online competition in late February.

Screenshots show off new Splatoon 2 map “Barnacles Sports Club”

Posted on 7 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in Screenshots, Switch | 27 Comments

The Japanese Twitter account for Splatoon has posted a handful of screenshots from Splatoon 2 which show off one of the new maps. Called “Barnacles Sports Club” in Japanese (surely the official English name will be pun-tastic), this map was briefly seen in the Splatoon 2 trailer shown at the Switch presentation two weeks ago. As the name implies, it’s sort of a sports club / gym with climbing areas, a pool, fitness equipment and so on. It seems like the spawn point for each teams will be the highest points of the map, with slopes leading down to the central area.

Pokemon Company CEO & Nintendo thinking of developing a device to play Pokemon GO more safely

Posted on 7 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in Mobile, News | 8 Comments

Tsunakazu Ishihara, CEO of The Pokemon Company, recently sat down with Nikkei for an interview. Other than some general talk about the games industry and Pokemon GO, he had this to say when asked about safety concerns when playing Pokemon GO:

“To avoid the danger, we also released “Pokemon Go Plus,” the smartphone-linked wearable device, so that “Pokemon Go” players do not have to always be looking down at their smartphone screens. Together with Nintendo, we are thinking of developing a new device that can be played more safely. “

Since the interview was originally conducted in Japanese, there’s always the danger of something being lost in translation, but the word “device” being used here is interesting. Pokemon GO Plus is more of an accessory since you still need an actual smartphone to properly play Pokemon GO, but it seems like Ishihara might be talking about a device here that lets you play the game on its own.

Certainly an interesting possibility, but either way, it seems like this mysterious device is still in the planning stages, so we probably won’t get to see it for a while.

Fire Emblem Heroes will have one global server; option to change text language, but not voice language

Posted on 7 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in Mobile, News | 8 Comments

Some additional info has come out about Fire Emblem Heroes – from a customer service e-mail, no less. Reddit user SBelmont sent a mail to the Japanese Fire Emblem Heroes customer support, asking about whether or not the game will have one global server and whether or not players will be able to change the language of the in-game text and voices.

According to the response, there will indeed be one global server for all players, so the user base won’t be fragmented and split over multiple servers divided by region or language, as is the case with many mobile games. Players will also have the option to change the language of the in-game text, but aren’t able to change the language of the in-game voices. This was likely done to keep the download size of the game manageable, as audio files are usually quite large.

Fire Emblem Heroes will be released on iOS and Android devices on February 2nd.
