Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
A little while back, Japanese magazine Famitsu conducted a survey for Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Pokemon Shining Pearl. Fans were asked about various topics, such as the version they chose, the starter Pokemon they went with, and the Gym leader they found the toughest to fight.
According to the survey results, Famitsu registered 685 men, 190 women, and 32 “other” as participants. The breakdown of ages was as follows: under 10: 2 people; teens: 205 people; 20s: 545 people; 30s: 131 people; 40s: 16 people; 50s: 6 people; 60s or older: 2 people.
Pokemon Legends: Arceus dataminer finds unused room
Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Dataminer DeepGamingResearch/Nekorun has come across an unused modern day room in Pokemon Legends: Arceus that has fans wondering what it could mean.
YouTuber Faz Fan showed off the room in a video published a few days ago. It features a flat screen TV as well as a Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu Switch. At the moment the area can’t be accessed under normal circumstances. Given how Arceus takes place long before Pokemon Diamond and Pearl, some are surprised that it’s in the game’s files at all.
[Review] Pokemon Legends: Arceus
Posted on 2 years ago by Dennis Gagliardotto(@LyonHart_) in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: January 28, 2022
Developer: Game Freak
Publisher: Nintendo
The Pokemon games have always been traditionally known for their turn-based “catch ’em all” mantra that sees a trainer take on a new adventure set in a region with many different types of creatures, attaining badges and friends along the way before making it to the Pokemon League and inevitably becoming champion. For over 25 years now this has been a steady formula with each new generation that has been consistently released in two separate versions containing different Pokemon in each, with sometimes a third tagged-on entry, and has also brought with it many new spinoffs to take Pokemon into a different direction. However, nothing has ever been done so drastically different as it has now with Pokemon Legends: Arceus. For a formula that has become tried with little known innovation outside of debut generations on each new platform (despite consistent fun) from entry to entry, this new Switch game reinvents the wheel of what Pokemon has become and can be moving forward in the most exciting way possible. It’s not just a matter of catching them all as a personal goal, but it’s also become a gameplay element that incorporates research into it as well.
