Why Pokemon Needs To Abandon Type Based Gyms
Gyms have been a staple of Pokemon since the very first game, and the formula has been the same all the way through.

Why Pokemon Stadium 2 Is Still The Hardest Pokemon Game (If You Don’t Use A Transfer Pak)
Ever since Gen V, Pokemon has grown to be notorious for having games that are extremely easy to beat. Given that Nintendo in general is more kid-focused, it’s not terribly surprising that this is the case for Pokemon—especially considering that it was marketed towards children upon its release in 1998. Given that there aren’t any […]
Pokemon Gen 9 Needs To Increase Game Difficulty Through Improved Trainer and Pokemon AI
There’s a lot to love about Pokemon, but one aspect that’s caught some negative attention is how easy the games have been after Gen V.
