It’s been decades since I’ve played Pokémon Snap, but I still think of it fondly. I only remember playing it in one place, at my grandmother’s house and in the living room, not the den. My memory tells me I never owned it, that I waited patiently for it, week after week, to come back […]
So, What Exactly Is A Pokemon Master?
The entire point of the Pokemon franchise is to become a Pokemon Master. The problem is, we still don’t know what that means. The creators of Pokemon Red & Green had no idea that these games would form the foundation of the biggest media franchise of all time. This is why the original generation games are so […]

The Pokemon you can encounter in Sword & Shield, for example, are all designated either one or a combination of these established types, with there being a total of 171 possible combos in the current state of the game, 17 […]

Rare Pokémon cards are the new comic books, with originals now starting to sell for ridiculously high prices.

Pokemon Diamond & Pearl Remakes Are Probably On The Way, But I’d Prefer Let’s Go Johto
Pokemon Diamond & Pearl are fantastic games. Sinnoh is one of the most distinctly intriguing regions the series has seen to date, while Gen 4 Pokemon like Weavile, Infernape, Luxray, and Lucario are still fan-favourites all over the world. I’ve personally been pining for Diamond & Pearl remakes for years, although now that they seem […]
