If you’re a Pokemon Home user, you might be interested to know that Shiny Manaphy and Shiny Enamorus are now up for grabs.
The tasks for both are pretty simple to complete, though they’ll take some effort. There’s no end date for the distributions, so thankfully you won’t have to rush. By finishing up for Sinnoh Pokedex for Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, that’s how you’ll get Shiny Manaphy in Pokemon Home. The same goes for wrapping up the Hisui Pokedex for Pokemon Legends: Arceus, netting players Shiny Enamorus.

What we could see in a potential February 2025 Nintendo Direct
Posted on 1 month ago by Ethan in Features, Switch | 0 comments
Today, we’re looking at the potential announcements we could see if we were to get a final Switch-centered Nintendo Direct in February 2025.
At the time of writing, we don’t currently have any sort of confirmation that we’re actually getting a presentation next month. That said, we’re arguably due for one. Other than Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition, we don’t have any concrete release dates for remaining Nintendo Switch titles. We do know that Metroid Prime 4: Beyond launches sometime this year, but we’re still missing a defined release window. Additionally, if you remember the transition from the 3DS to the Switch, Nintendo continued to publish a number of ports on the dedicated handheld during Switch’s early years. We wouldn’t be surprised if we saw a similar approach here, and if it winds up being true, it means we might still have a remake or two bound for the original Nintendo Switch sometime this year.
