Detectives from the police Criminal Investigation Department went to the offices of the national governing body in Colombo to begin a probe, a police source said. Official sources said the USD 5.5 million was for television rights for the upcoming England tour of Sri Lanka involving five ODI matches, a lone T20 and three Tests between October 10 and November 27. The board said it had lodged a complaint with the police over an attempt to siphon off money, but managed to prevent the fraud....

Pokemon Scarlet & Violet players have access to the TM Machine, which allows them to craft TMs in exchange for the LP currency and items dropped by wild Pokemon. While this isn’t as simple as the infinitely reusable TMs that were introduced in Pokemon Black & White, it’s also much better than the once-per-save TMs that players had to deal with in Pokemon Red & Blue.

Going all the way back through Pokemon’s history with the likes of Magneton all the way up to Sword and Shield’s Falinks, it wasn’t impossible for Pokemon to consist of multiple individual creatures operating as one. But even then, these kinds of Pokemon have always been met with skepticism and spurred questions about justifiable Pokemon designs. Pokemon Scarlet and Violet’s Tandemaus and Maushold both push this concept further than ever before....

There’s no denying that the Pokemon franchise has a massive fan following all over the world, and many of them were eagerly waiting for the release of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. In the days leading up to the release, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet were dominating social media. There were trailers, new Pokemon reveals, and plenty of leaked content. Super fans were expecting these two new games to live up to the hype and be some of the best games in the series yet....

While the core gameplay continues to revolve around catching both new and returning Pokemon, Sword and Shield also introduce a few new mechanics as well. Players can partake in cooperative Raid battles, a feature that appears to be inspired by the popular mobile game Pokemon Go. In addition, the new Dynamax and Gigantamax mechanic has been added, essentially making a Pokemon massive in size for a limited time. Mega Evolutions and Z-Moves are absent from this release, though Pokemon Gyms are back and feature new elements outside of unique leaders to battle....

The wait hasn’t stopped fans who are hungry from information from searching, though. There have been many leaks but there is no way to know how true these are except for the credibility the leaks seem to have given. These leaks also suggested a new type of Evolution akin to Mega Evolution and Alola Forms. However the leaks don’t stop coming. There have been so many leaks before and since the announcement of Pokemon Sword and Shield and only a few seem to be possibly legitimate....

As tradition for Pokemon games, Pokemon Sword and Shield has Route 1 separating the player’s starting area from the next town over, Wedgehurst. Gone, however, are the random battles from previous games where trainers randomly encountered Pokemon walking through grass, caves, and other locations. Deviating from previous generations, Pokemon can be found in two ways: in the Overworld or Non-Overworld encounters. Spawn rates can vary from Pokemon to Pokemon and not all of them can be encountered both ways....

The news says that Pokemon GO will soon be able to connect to Pokemon Home, the cloud service that allows trainers to store and transfer the Pokemon they’ve caught from and to a variety of different Pokemon games. This means that trainers will be able to take the Pokemon they’ve acquired in Pokemon GO and transfer them to Pokemon Sword and Shield — and potentially any other future Pokemon games — through the Pokemon Home service....

The Expansion Passes for both Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield will include two content packs, named The Isle of Armor and The Crown Tundra. These expansions will both include an array of new content including much of what fans both want and expect. This includes new regions to explore, new Pokemon to discover, and a new story to experience. Perhaps most exciting for Pokemon fans is the confirmation that more than 200 past Pokemon will be added to the Galarian PokeDex....

With Crown Tundra out now, Pokemon Sword and Shield are doing it again. The DLC expands the endgame content of the latest generation, allowing fans to partake in Dynamax adventures and collect legendaries, both new and old. However, it does something that only one other game has done before: put two generational gimmicks into one entry. And, while mostly anecdotal, it could add new evidence to the rumored Kalos DLC for Pokemon Sword and Shield....

Originally posted to 4Chan by an anonymous user in late May, the leak covered some major plot points and new systems for Pokemon Sword and Shield as well as descriptions for the evolutions of all three starter Pokemon. And so far a lot of the leaked information has seemingly come true including the announcement of Dynamaxing and Gigantamaxing, the new Camping system, and that Team Yell would be the new evil gang....

This trailer comes after a major week for Pokemon Sword and Shield leaks. The evolutions for the new starters leaked and have made Pokemon fans both very excited and very angry. The overview trailer doesn’t have any new reveals in store, but it does show off more Pokemon, gym leaders, and details the character customization screen.

Like every version of of the mainline Pokemon franchise, Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield are going to include some version specific content that is meant to entice players to trade and interact with other trainers (or purchase two copies of the game). The new trailer, and some updates to the official website, confirm two Pokemon who will be exclusive to each game, as well as a Gym leader who is exclusive to each version....

One of those qualms is how few Pokemon there are on Pokemon Unite’s roster. Currently, the game only includes 21 playable Pokemon, half of which come from the Kanto region’s Pokemon Red and Pokemon Blue. However, this is with the assumption that, like most MOBAs, Pokemon Unite will add Pokemon incrementally as time goes on. It’s currently unclear when or how often more Pokemon will become available, but the release of Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl is the perfect time to release some species from the Sinnoh region....

Although he doesn’t have the chip lead, many are predicting that Max Steinberg will take home the crown.

This definitely isn’t the first time that Pokimane has donated money to a good cause. Pokimane donated money to some random Twitch streamers in September of last year in an effort to put some positive vibes on the platform following sexual assault allegations against several streamers. Her latest venture is part of an effort to help out Among Us streamer friends Hafu and 5up. The Among Us community has been waiting on the new Airship map to come to the game, but Hafu and 5up’s custom map might just arrive first....

Having already expressed weariness with livestreaming in the past, Pokimane revealed that she had been considering retirement at the beginning of the year. Speaking honestly, the Twitch streamer shared that the job simply wasn’t that fun anymore. Though she ultimately changed her mind about leaving, that likely didn’t eliminate the need for some time off. RELATED: Pokimane May Return to Canada After Controversial Supreme Court Ruling Now, half a year later, Pokimane has announced on Twitter that she will be taking a break from Twitch, citing a need to focus on herself and life off camera....

What makes this Poison/Fighting-type such a bizarre addition to the fight title is the fact that it was previously a Support Pokemon. Opting to forego a playable appearance in the early goings of Pokken Tournament, the beast could be selected to jump into a battle and lay the smackdown on any enemy monster that got too close to it. It made for a formidable obstacle for faster characters that enjoyed bobbing and weaving around incoming projectiles and strikes, but it would retire shortly after it had served its purpose....

Polestar says that the new model comes with an increased range, starts at a lower price point, and a bespoke configuration. The company, owned by Volvo and Geely, has been expanding its footprint across the globe recently. Test drives are currently available in 12 major U.S. cities and moving to put its showroom stamp in 18 markets worldwide. 25 showrooms are slated to be opened by the end of the year in the U....

City, federal and military officials have faced bureaucratic struggles on how the thousands of National Guard troops and Washington, D.C. police are expected to keep the peace as some organizers hope to get one million people people to demonstrate. District of Columbia law enforcement officials announced the closure of much of downtown Washington’s North West (NW) quadrant from 6 a.m. through midnight Saturday, ahead of the scheduled protests. Several local theaters – closed for months amid the coronavirus pandemic – have temporarily reopened to allow protesters to use the restroom or take a break temperatures expected to reach nearly 90 degrees....
