We’ve seen an abundance of events since the launch of Pokémon Shuffle that have ranged from legendaries to exclusive Pokémon you can’t get normally, and chances to compete for a Mega Stone. Now, there’s a brand new event unlike the others – the Pokémon Safari.

If you’re familiar with Pokémon, you’ll know that the Safari Zones (or Friend Safari in XY) are places you can go to where you can catch a slew of random Pokémon that are either exclusive to the zones or bundled up with Pokémon you normally wouldn’t see in the same place. This event takes the same concept, surprising you with a brand new Pokémon each time you play it.

Don’t forget to Check In to get the new update so you’re able to access the new Pokémon Safari event! The event will run until May 2nd. See what surprises are headed your way!

The illustrious Mario Kart is a series that’s been around since SNES and has touched the hearts of millions across the globe with its simplistic-yet-addictive and sometimes-competitive gameplay. We’ve seen the series grow exponentially in features and gimmicks with each new generational entry, but there’s always been one thing in particular that they’ve all had in common that was causing the series to dwindle in its excitement and keeping it from its full potential: speed.

Now, just to be clear, I’ve always loved and will continue to love Mario Kart. It’s held a special place in my heart since I first played it as a child on the Nintendo 64, but as I’ve grown and watched it evolve with each new entry, whether handheld or console, my interest in Mario Kart began to tank, specifically after Double Dash!!. I didn’t have any animosity towards the series (except for Mario Kart Wii) – it’ll always be in a league of its own – but as I began to delve into other racing games across various platforms, quickly becoming one of my favorite genres, it was hard to go back to Mario Kart expecting an immersive, adrenaline-fueled experience games like Burnout, Need for Speed, Extreme G Racing, or F-Zero would give me. After a while, even games that had the same power-up/items mechanics it had like Wipeout, Blur, Split/Second and, in a more obscure sense, Twisted Metal started to feel superior to Mario Kart. I’d still go back and play Double Dash!! and 64 from time to time with friends, but despite the merriment of the occasion, I couldn’t play more than twenty minutes at a time before wanting to go to sleep. The excitement was lost for me. I preferred to watch from a distance.
