Within Pokemon, the storage box system is traditionally used to store all Pokemon outside the six currently in the player’s party. Once clunky, requiring players to walk inside a Pokemon center, turn on a PC, and individually select a Pokemon, recent additions to the franchise have made storage boxes much more efficient. January 2022’s Pokemon: Legends Arceus was particularly notable in this regard, introducing a mechanic that allowed players to mass-release Pokemon from their storage instead of releasing them one at a time....

The starters’ type combinations are an important piece of information here because, among other leaks, there are trustworthy sources claiming that there will be new Pokemon in Gen 9 for each of the starters that share their type combination. For Sprigatito, this is going to be a Legendary snail-like critter, whereas Pokemon Scarlet and Violet’s rumored Tauros forms include one that has the same types as Quaxly’s evolution. Lastly, Fuecoco’s evolution will seemingly have the same types as Ceruledge, an exclusive from Pokemon Violet that is already confirmed to be Fire and Ghost....

However, one of the biggest announcements was a change to the traditional goal of defeating eight gym leaders in a specific order and then facing off against a final challenge against the regional champion. Nintendo has been pretty forthcoming with the details that players can now freely explore Paldea, breaking away from a specific order typically dictated by the game’s overarching story. With the newest Pokemon Scarlet and Violet trailer, fans can now see all the different ways their story will evolve as they play....

To some people, the Pokemon Yungoos from Pokemon Sun and Moon, and its evolved form Gumshoos, bears a resemblance to Donald Trump, with a similar hairstyle and personality. The Pokedex describes Yungoos as being a “big eater that is never satisfied,” perhaps drawing parallels to Trump’s desire for political power despite being already being a billionaire. Yungoos is also said to have a bad temper, which is something that Trump’s opponents have accused him of on a number of occasions....

Whether it’s the many Pokemon Sun and Moon evolution stones implemented to support the vast array of returning Pokemon or the inclusion of characters from past titles as guest appearances, Nintendo’s newest entries into the Pokemon franchise have had a keen eye for anything that might evoke feelings of nostalgia from older players. That isn’t just limited to the Pokemon series, either, as YouTuber and Pokemon fan Maxx has illustrated - there are a number of different Easter eggs present in Pokemon Sun and Moon that are as thoughtful and clever as they are easy to miss....

To note, fans that want to evolve a Galar Slowpoke into a Slowbro in Pokemon Sword and Shield must buy The Isle of Armor DLC. Once they have made this purchase, fans should make sure to download the DLC, which can be done by entering the Options menu for the game through the Switch’s home screen, and they will then be ready to proceed with the evolution.

One of the biggest wishes for players in Pokemon Sword and Shield is the addition of a new region to explore in future DLC, which would contain its own Pokemon league and gym leaders as well as new Pokemon to catch. Another benefit of a new region would be in how many existing Pokemon would likely be able to return to the current generation without being left behind. This could include many fan favorites such as the starters from other regions and various others....

Despite Sword and Shield’s massive sales numbers, the games were marred with controversy leading up to release. They’ve been derided for not advancing the series as much as they could have, particularly compared to contemporaries like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey. Yet, the Isle of Armor DLC shows the potential Sword and Shield had to create a more complete next-generation Pokemon adventure, potential that the developer should carry into its next mainline title....

To start off, there are 15 familiar Pokemon from the franchise’s past that are exclusive to each version. Pokemon Sword’s include Deino, Zweilous, Hydreigon, Gothita, Gothorita, Jangmo-o, Hakamo-o, Kommo-o, Gothitelle, Mawile, Passimian, Rufflet, Braviary, Solrock, and Turtonator. Pokemon Shield’s include Drampa, Goomy, Sliggoo, Goodra, Lunastone, Oranguru, Pupitar, Larvitar, Tyranitar, Sableeye, Solosis, Duosion, Reuniclus, Vullaby, and Mandibuzz. That should be more than enough exclusive Pokemon for Pokemon Sword or Shield players to make a decision from....

The Pokemon Trading Card Game has been no stranger to video games and online simulators, even in its early days. From the franchise’s beginning, the Game Boy received its own version of the Pokemon Trading Card Game, along with a Japan-exclusive sequel. Pokemon Trading Card Game Online has been one of the predominant ways for many Pokemon players to play the card game online since its introduction in 2011. Now, Pokemon Trading Card Game Live is set to revolutionize the way players battle against one another....

Mike Jones quit after an AL.com investigation found more than half of Brookside’s 2020 municipal revenue came from fines and forfeitures linked to ticketing people for minor and questionable offenses, a concept known as policing for profit. The Associated Press reported the money from fines and forfeitures increased 640 percent in two years. Following Jones’s resignation, Debbie Keedy who works as a town clerk released a statement, according to the AP....

The mother—who had been in the late stage of her pregnancy—gave birth alone in her prison cell at HMP Bronzefield in Ashford, England, in the early hours of September 27, The Guardian reported.

For example, there have always been unconventional evolution methods such as trading, using Evolution Stones, or following the day and night cycle. However, evolving a Pokemon called Finizen is the most interesting way to date. Finizen is a Water-type Pokemon that bares a striking resemblance to a dolphin and is found in many areas in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. Unfortunately, the same can not be said for its evolved form Palafin and even after catching Finizen, getting it to make the change does not have an apparent in-game solution....

The initial reveal of the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet starters showed static images of them, but fans were given a closer look in the second trailer. This trailer gave close-up views of all three Pokemon Scarlet and Violet starters, giving fans a better sense of their personalities. However, there are still many unanswered questions about the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet starters, like what their shiny forms will look like....

Though the second trailer is roughly the same length as the first reveal trailer of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet that was released three months ago, fans will likely agree that it provided meatier updates. The second trailer showcased a bunch of new and returning Pokemon and also previewed battle gameplay and in-game player travel. However, fans were likely more intrigued by the unique animation at the end of the trailer, which revealed Pokemon Scarlet and Violet’s legendary Pokemon and the official release date of the video games....

The bugs present in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet range from hilarious oversights in scripted Pokemon behavior to less harmless issues with the games’ performance. While those problems somewhat diminish the overall gameplay experience, the fandom still appears to be largely unphased by Pokemon Scarlet and Violet’s overall lack of polish, as evidenced by the fact that the two games have already sold millions of units.
