Measuring Your Compatibility focuses on showing Belamy a Pokemon that the player has high friendship with. High friendship has been a staple of many prior Pokemon games; in fact, several Pokemon throughout prior games and in Pokemon Legends: Arceus will only evolve if they have high friendship with the player. However, it might not be clear to many players as to how to gain friendship with Pokemon, or how to know that the friendship level between the player and a specific Pokémon is very high....

Now that all three titles are out, BDSP has proven to be controversial, but Legends is surprising a lot of fans. The shift into an outright action-RPG combined with a renewed focus on “catching ‘em all” has given rise to surprisingly positive expressions. Pokemon Legends has changed just about everything that players expect to see in a Pokemon game, from the framing of the story to granular details about battle mechanics....

There aren’t any fossil-reviving mechanisms at the Galaxy Hall or at the Diamond/Pearl Clan’s base camps. Unlike Diamond/Pearl, players can directly catch Cranidos and Shieldon out in the overworld. The drawback is their habitat. Cranidos and Shieldon spawn in only one area in all of Hisui, and they won’t be available until players are midway through the main story. Whether players want to use the Fossil Pokemon in battle or not, Cranidos and Shieldon, as well as their evolutions, are part of Hisui’s 239 Pokemon that need to be “seen” in order to catch Arceus....

Among the many Pokemon fan games that many talented fans created, most if not all have used existing assets from Nintendo as a source for their games. While nothing short of impressive, once in a while a fan will recreate iconic locations within the Pokemon games utilizing engines such as Unity, with this recreation following suit. What’s intriguing about this recreation of Pokemon Red and Blue is that the developer behind the recreation is employed by id Software, a company known for developing titles the exact opposite of Pokemon....

Before heading into the final battle of the storyline, players should be prepared with a team of Pokemon around Arven’s team’s levels, which range from level 58 to level 63. Also, be sure to have some useful healing items like Max Potions, Revives, and Full Heals. It’s also worth noting that four of Arven’s Pokemon are weak to Fighting-type moves, so try and have at least one or two Pokemon with a powerful Fighting-type attack like Close Combat, Aura Sphere, Cross Chop, etc....

The discovery was made by The Silph Road contributor Chrales, who posted the 2D assets for Kyogre on the subreddit for anxious trainers to drool over. For completions sake, they added the assets for both the regular Kyogre and shiny version to peruse. Folks online have already begun assembling their best Electric-type Pokemon for the battle ahead. While its inclusion into the game’s data is new, the fact that Kyogre is coming has been well-known throughout the community since the Pokemon GO holiday event last year....

In Pokemon GO, players step into the role of a Pokemon trainer in an augmented reality game that uses the player’s physical surroundings. Graphics are drawn on the mobile device over the landscape shown through the camera’s lens. Part of the charm of the game is that it requires physical movement. A day at the park could be spent on Pokemon GO searching for berries, coming across encounters, and finding new Pokemon....

Like many recent events, this year’s GO Fest 2020 anniversary celebration is going to make sure of the newer rotating habitats feature. This basically means that special features and spawns will rotate throughout the day based on an established schedule. This sort of replaces the in-person event equivalent of visiting a specific location for the Fire-spawns versus another location for the Water-spawns, and so on. The rotating habitat feature does mean that players need to keep a close eye on the clock though, especially if they have specific personal Pokemon GO goals in mind for the day or want to do their part to help unlock the Ultra Bonuses....

According to Niantic, a “special” Pokemon will pop up for a three hour window during the course of each Pokemon GO Community Day event. Should trainers catch the unique creature before time’s up, it will be able to acquire a special exclusive move that it wouldn’t have been able to learn otherwise. What’s more is that every Community Day will also feature other bonuses, such as increased XP and Stardust, or Lure Modules that can last for three hours....

Holding a gym for any long duration is a difficult achievement, and to hold one for over 3 years in a row is nearly unheard of. Redditor BootsMade4Walking managed this accomplishment by capturing a remote gym near Lolo, Montana while they were stationed at a fire lookout tower there in 2017. The gym location is the result of a perfect storm: the closest town is relatively small, and the location is more or less inaccessible except by hiking....

While November kicked off the Season of Celebration, Pokemon GO players are coming fresh off of the Season of Legends, which introduced all-new Legendary Pokemon like Xerneas, Yveltal, and the Therian Formes of Tornadus Thundurus, and Landorus. Now, set to feature the 5th-anniversary celebrations of Pokemon GO, the next Season in the game will be the Season of Discovery, brining along new Raid Bosses and much more.

Oshawott Community Day fires off next weekend on September 19 and is going to offer players the chance to rack up a ton of XP while tracking down Shiny spawns and unlocking exclusive moves. As always, there are a ton of features and bonuses for Pokemon GO trainers to keep track of during the short event if they want to get the most value out of it.

Although Nintendo and Niantic have gone a long way in expanding Pokemon GO, there’s still some aspects of the franchise that have yet to shine through in the game. For instance, there’s a pretty small number of Pokeball types that players can use. While the main three types that players use are perfectly fine, the process of catching Pokemon could be a lot more compelling if Nintendo just added some more niche types of Pokeballs from the core series into Pokemon GO....

The conversation, as summarized by prominent Pokemon GO content creator Reversal, revealed that Niantic will in fact be raising Pokemon GO’s level cap at some point. With the introduction of the new Field Research system, players have more ways to earn XP in the game than ever before, so this could be a way for those who have already hit the level cap to still enjoy the XP rewards tied to the quests....

Bea breaks the mold that many female characters are compressed into in Pokemon, as the first female opponent that is truly worthy of the title of rival. Fans first witness this fighting champion in the Galar Region in Pokemon Journeys, dressed to the nines in typical martial arts attire. As arguably the strongest female Pokemon trainer (at least physically), Bea gives Ash a run for his money as she repeatedly proves herself to be a worthy competitor....

A great example of this in Pokemon: Legends Arceus is Request 16, otherwise known as “Strange Happenings at Midnight.” This kind of request is a bit of a departure from the usual exploration and researching that the player is used to. Still, it not only doesn’t take too long to accomplish, but it also is a nice peek into a random individual’s life in Jubilife Village.

With their unique dual-typing of Ghost and Normal, Hisuian Zorua and Hisuian Zoroark are game-changers that will fill a gap in the Pokemon franchise for both the general fan and competitive players. The lore behind the typing of these Pokemon, however, draws on the grimmer style that Pokemon Legends: Arceus has been using. This is highlighted with other new Pokemon like Basculegion, which evolved after being possessed by the souls of other Basculin in its school that didn’t survive their upstream migration....

In the two-minute clip, a Pokemon researcher appears to be recording footage of the Hisui region, the location in which the game is set. The Pokemon Company says that the clip was found in the Canalave Library. The excited researcher recording the video appears to stumble across some wild Pokemon, and the footage is just clear enough to suggest that they might have been attacked towards the end perhaps to emphasize the newest gaming mechanic....

First introduced in Pokemon X and Pokemon Y, mega evolutions are incredibly valuable and useful to Pokemon players because they offer improved stats. Every mega-evolved Pokemon (bar Mega Alakazam in Gen VI) has a base stat total of 100 higher than its normal form and they have different abilities too. For example, Mega Venasaur has the Thick Fat ability while Mega Blastoise has Mega Launcher. As such, Pokemon fans are keen for mega evolutions to return in the Let’s Go games....

Zelda made headlines when it announced it would be including voice acting in Breath of the Wild, a first for the series’ long lineage spanning three decades at the time it was released. In fact, thanks to the success of the game, and with voice acting returning for its sequel Tears of the Kingdom, it’s very likely that the series will continue voice acting for future entries. To an outside observer then, voice acting not only helped the series modernize, but helped it thrive....
