Details about the project are light at the moment. It’s only been said that the “collaboration will see Aardman bringing its unique style of storytelling to the Pokémon universe in brand-new adventures.”

Another addition to the Pokemon Build-A-Bear line was just made available with Riolu.

The plushie can be purchased online now – we assume that it will make its way to stores in the near future. For now though, only an online bundle is being offered, which is Riolu itself, a hoodie, and a 5-in-1 sound chip.

Pokemon developer Game Freak hit with hack, internal info leaking

Posted on 2 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments

Game Freak, the main developer of Pokemon, appears to have been hit with a significant hack. As a result, source code for various games, behind-the-scenes information, and more has started to leak online.

Thus far we know that source code for Pokemon Heart Gold / Soul Silver and Black 2 / White 2 have surfaced. A few codenames are also popping up, including “Gaia” – which is apparently what Gen 10 is going by internally. Speaking of which, the new gen is apparently being developed for “Ounce”, which supposedly confirms Switch 2’s codename. And for those curious, “Ikkaku” is the codename for Pokemon Legends: Z-A.

Strange moves you never knew Pokemon could learn

Posted on 3 months ago by Ethan in Features, General Nintendo | 0 comments

In the early days of Pokemon – we’re talking back on Game Boy – many Pokemon suffered from incredibly small movepools. For example, Scyther didn’t have access to a single Flying-type move in Red and Blue despite being a half Flying-type itself. Fortunately, the developers have fixed this issue over the years, and now many Pokemon have huge movepools. That being said, certain move decisions are questionable at best. Some Pokemon have access to certain moves that don’t make a ton of sense thematically, and today we’re going over a big list of some of the strangest movepool additions in the Pokemon series.

The most forgotten Pokemon of all time, ranked

Posted on 3 months ago by Ethan in Features, General Nintendo | 0 comments

The matter of most forgotten Pokemon is always a subjective one. Everybody’s got different favorites, and they say that every single Pokemon is at least one person’s favorite. That being said, some Pokemon are more obscure than others – and there are bound to be instances where a specific Pokemon is the favorite of very few players.

Today, we’re going over a list of some of the most forgotten Pokemon of all time. Do note that we’re actually not including Lumineon on this list – it’s always on “most forgotten Pokemon” lists, and it’s so forgettable that it’s looped around into being memorable for being forgettable (if that makes sense). We’re including Pokemon who really aren’t talked about very much.

The hardest Shiny Pokemon to get, ranked

Posted on 3 months ago by Ethan in Features, General Nintendo | 0 comments

Today, we’re listing off some of the hardest Shiny Pokemon to get. Most of these are from games prior to the Switch generation, but can still be transferred over to modern games.

At the time of writing, Pokemon Bank is still open for business – at least for those who’ve already downloaded it. In the past, we’ve discussed easy Shiny hunts you can do on DS and 3DS-generation Pokemon games. But how about some of the most difficult? Indeed, all of the Pokemon games prior to X and Y have a decreased Shiny rate of 1 in 8000 (roughly), which means there are plenty of tough and time-consuming Shiny hunts to do before Pokemon Bank eventually closes. Get ready for some tough hunts!
