Completing the National Pokedex in 2025 is almost impossible – the toughest Pokemon to catch
Posted on 1 week ago by Ethan in Features, Switch | 0 comments
We’ve been in the late era of the original Nintendo Switch’s life span for a good while now, which means it’s as good a time as any to work on a Pokedex. At the time of writing, there are a whopping 1,025 existing Pokemon, and the only way to hoard ’em all at once is to put them in Pokemon Home. To be clear, I’d finished my “Living Dex” a long while ago – but to fill the time between Nintendo’s official releases, I decided to redo my entire Living Dex – but with every Pokemon caught in a standard Poke Ball and with my OT (which means traded Pokemon don’t count towards it). If you don’t know this already, a Living Dex is when you have every single Pokemon in the game stored in your boxes. That means the entire evolutionary line, and in my case, every gender difference and form difference for each Pokemon as well.
Working on a Living Dex in 2025 made me realize how absurdly difficult it is to complete this task in 2025. Having completed all of the main series Pokemon games, this was much easier for me than for someone just starting a Living Dex project. But today, I’ll explain what the toughest Pokemon to obtain for Living Dex purposes are and how to go about obtaining them in the easiest way. Surprisingly, there are also a lot of Pokemon that cannot legitimately be caught in a standard Poke Ball along with your OT. We’ll be going over those too.

Why Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga still holds up as one of the best Mario RPGs
Posted on 1 week ago by Ethan in Features, GBA, Switch | 0 comments
With the recent release of Mario & Luigi: Brothership, it’s a better time than ever to get into the rest of the series. And with Nintendo Switch Online’s Expansion Pack, that’s rather easy. Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, the first game in the series, is available as part of the Game Boy Advance app. After completing Brothership, we gave the original Superstar Saga another shot (making for this writer’s fourth unique playthrough). Despite the fact that it has a remake available on Nintendo 3DS that released in 2017, this game holds up surprisingly well – and in a way it’s actually refreshing to play after going through Mario & Luigi: Brothership. Here’s why Superstar Saga is still worth your time today. We’ll be discussing a few story spoilers, so keep that in mind before you continue.

A new physical release of Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time has now gone up for pre-order on Nintendo Switch.
At one point, it seems that Nintendo was set to produce a boxed copy – at least in Europe. However, that has now been scrapped apparently. As of now Japan is the only confirmed region with a physical release. But if you’re looking to pick up the game in boxed form, you’ll be able to do so with the Japanese release. English and other languages will be supported, and since Nintendo Switch is region free, anyone can import a copy.
