An example comes from the leaked type combinations of the three starters for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, which were hinted at by a prominent insider with a proven track record. This leaker is known as Riddler Khu, and they recently claimed that Gen 9 will have the first Pokemon species that’s a Fire/Grass hybrid, something that fans have wanted for a long time, especially after Pokemon X and Y introduced Volcanion, a Mythical Pokemon who is a Fire/Water hybrid....

Many theories about the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet starter trio are circulating around the internet at the moment. Most of these theories concern what the trio could look like in their final evolutions, as starter Pokemon typically come in three stages. Past starter Pokemon have ended up both quite similar to their first evolutions and completely unrecognizable, depending on the individual Pokemon species in question.

Those who have been keeping up with Pokemon Scarlet and Violet leaks know that this money is complicated to get. According to reliable insider/leaker Riddler Khu, players are able to get the base form simple enough, but to evolve it requires collectings X amount of things similar to getting Spiritomb in Pokemon Legends: Arceus and other franchise entries. However, doing so will apparently reward players with a really strong Pokemon....

Speaking of Dark-type pocket monsters in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, according to the leaks this is the single most populated type out of the entirety of Gen 9, and that’s because many eleven species out of the leaked 103 have it. And yet, out of all the Pokemon revealed for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet so far, none of them are Dark-type, and in fact, out of the 20 officially known now, The Pokemon Company hasn’t even revealed one critter per existing type....

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet have been all over social media since the games were released a couple of weeks ago, with Pokemon fans sharing posts highlighting things from hilarious moments to ridiculous bugs. The new Generation 9 titles have been criticized heavily by players due to their poor technical quality at launch, being plagued by countless weird glitches and low graphical quality, according to many fans. On top of that, frequent crashes and strikingly obvious performance issues have been some of the main culprits for negatively impacting the gameplay experience for many players....

Reddit user Nicebrah recently shared a meme image at Pokemon Scarlet and Violet’s expense that suggested the dialogue options are always yes in one way or another. Pokemon Scarlet and Violet aren’t the first games that players have found issues with dialogue in as Fallout 4, Genshin Impact, and Monster Hunter titles were criticized in the past for the limited options that fans have to change the narrative. Going above the dialogue choices that could be made in the aforementioned games, titles like The Walking Dead, Detroit: Become Human, and The Quarry have added proper consequences for chosen paths, something that some Pokemon fans may be hoping for in the future....

Historically, Eggs have been a pretty simple mechanic in Pokemon. Players leave a couple monsters at a Pokemon Day Care or a Pokemon Nursery, come back to pick up an Egg later, then walk around until the Egg hatches. This loop made it easy to get specific Pokemon with specific moves, but Pokemon Scarlet and Violet’s approach seems more complicated. Until Game Freak and The Pokemon Company establish exactly how the player’s party and Picnic circumstances impact Egg spawns, it looks like players might have a much harder time getting the Pokemon Eggs that they want in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet....

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet also feature several pocket monsters that have a rather unique evolution method that requires players to keep them out of their Poke Balls with the Let’s Go feature and walk 1,000 steps consecutively with no interruptions. This proved to be not only hard to discover due to how rare it is for a single Pokemon to be out with the Let’s Go feature for so long, but it can also be quite tedious to tackle....

Over on Twitch, streamer Werster managed to beat Pokemon Shining Pearl in under an hour, which is an impressive feat. Pokemon Shining Pearl has only been out for a week now, and while it’s a remake of an older game, it’s still impressive to see such a short playthrough make its way onto Twitch in so brief of a window. The final clock time for Werster’s playthrough was 50:36.87, so it’s shorter than some TV show episodes these days....

Comedy musician Il Neige – French for “it’s snowing” – has posted many original and parody songs to his YouTube account, most of them about various Nintendo properties. He’s written, performed, and recorded many songs inspired by Pokemon over the years, but his most recent song stands out from the crowd for one simple reason: Nickelback. That’s right, “LOOK AT THIS POKéSNAP | Parody of “Photograph” by Nickelback | Pokémon Snap Music Video” isn’t just a spoof of New Pokemon Snap’s flaws, references, and Easter eggs; it’s also a spoof of one of Canadian rock band Nickelback most memetic videos, right down to the intro shot of Il Neige holding up a framed photo of Bulbasaur....

Evolution Stones are a staple of the Pokemon franchise and can be used to force evolutions from certain Pokemon. There are a number of different stones and each one has control over different groups of Pokemon. The stones are often associated with controlling Eevee’s evolution (which is done differently in Pokemon GO), but they have other uses as well. Here is where Pokemon Sun and Moon players can currently obtain each of the different Evolution Stones…...

The weather on the Isle of Armor also varies between each area, and changes when the date changes. As well as determining which Pokemon can appear, the weather also affects Marks, special titles Pokemon can spawn with.

Dataminer abcboy101 discovered codenames for Pokemon Sword and Shield Pokemon in the Japanese site that seem to point to evolution lines. For example, the codename for Sobble is Chameleon1, and Grookey’s codename is Gorilla1. This seems to indicate that Grookey will evolve into a gorilla, as some previous leaks and rumors have attested. Those same Pokemon Sword and Shield leaks claim Sobble will evolve into a spy-themed Pokemon named Intelleon, so the “chameleon” code name fits as well....

Terrain is a mechanic that Game Freak introduced in Pokemon X and Y that introduces a field effect to a battle that can be changed via specific Pokemon abilities. There are currently only four different Terrain types, the same as when the mechanic was first introduced. Those Terrain types being Electric Terrain, Grassy Terrain, Misty Terrain, and Psychic Terrain. Each Terrain type has a unique trait, like how Electric Terrain prevents Pokemon from falling asleep or being affected by Yawn....

Something casual fans might not understand is just how rare Shiny Pokemon are. As of recent generations of games, the odds of encountering a Shiny in the wild are around 1 in 4096, and while items like Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl’s Shiny Charm and various fan-made strategies can improve those odds, it can still take hours of grinding and plenty of luck before one is finally found. That’s what made it so extraordinary when Twitch streamer MitchOG recently came across a Shiny Turtwig and a Shiny Starly in the same encounter, a 1 in 16....

The news was confirmed early this morning when new Japanese download cards for Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon were released. The cards show members of Team Rocket quite prominently, identified by their black newsboy caps that make up part of the villainous group’s uniform.
