Does Nicknaming a Pokemon Affect Anything? If a player changes the Pokemon name in Pokemon Legends: Arceus, it does not change anything and doesn’t impact anything in the future. The only thing players would need to worry about is if they trade with another player online and don’t want the person to see the Pokemon’s nickname. When nicknaming a Pokemon, the best thing to do is to pick something appropriate. Of course, players can change Pokemon nicknames whenever they want, so there’s always a way to revert the Pokemon’s name to its original....

There is a lot to look forward to when it comes to Pokemon Legends: Arceus, particularly so because of how much the game can achieve with a story set at the dawn of humans’ relationship with Pokemon. And yet, according to leaks, it seems that the new entry in the Pokemon series will lack many popular features from modern games, such as abilities, held items, and even breeding. While this might make for a different and possibly lacking experience at launch, Pokemon Legends: Arceus could very well borrow Pokemon Sword and Shield’s DLC model to flesh out its base game into something more and far more complex with each new expansion, eventually adding what might be missing....

However, like many other open-world games, Pokemon Legends: Arceus is no stranger to glitches, bugs, and other problems. Though some of these can pose problems for players, others are completely harmless and funny, such as the Pokemon Legends: Arceus flying Growlithe glitch. These types of glitches can make for a unique experience, as ones that err on the side of ridiculous tend to also be hilarious. RELATED: Pokemon Legends Arceus Update 1....

Catch It As one might expect, Squirtle can be caught in Pokemon Let’s Go Eevee and Let’s Go Pikachu. Wild Squirtles can be found on Route 24 and 25, in tall grass close to the water. Like all the starters, however, it spawns more rarely than other Pokemon in the area. Using a lure can help to spawn more Pokemon, which will increase the chances of finding Squirtle. Adopt Squirtle Pokemon Let’s Go also allows players to effectively adopt the original three starters from Pokemon Blue & Red, including Squirtle....

As shown in Pokemon Let’s Go Pikachu and Eevee’s announcement trailer, the influence of Pokemon GO should be immediately apparent. While the world exploration and battling gameplay is all based on the Nintendo 3DS titles in the franchise, fighting and capturing Pokemon is just like in Pokemon GO. Players can even throw PokeBalls with motion controls if they want. The Pokemon GO ties don’t end there, however. Pokemon Let’s Go Pikachu and Eevee can both be connected to Pokemon GO via Bluetooth....

Trainers who are interested in leveling up their Pokemon GO PvP skills and climbing the ranks of each League level have to make sure that they are bringing the right roster of Pokemon to each battle. Every tier has its own distinct metagame, but the Great League is probably the most popular, and most important tier to master. RELATED: Every Major Valentine Day’s Event in Video Games Luckily, the power users at Pokemon GO Hub have compiled a ton of data about League results and reported on the most dominant Pokemon roster choices in the current Great League metagame....

Pokemon GO players that participate in the Hatchathon will receive double Hatch Candy and double Hatch Stardust for every egg they hatch before 4pm EST on January 15. Additionally, trainers will be “more likely” to receive 5 KM and 10 KM eggs from PokeStops and gyms. While the rate increase for egg acquisition has not been specified, a vocal portion of the community is indicating that more 5 KM eggs is not what they need....

According to a recent announcement from Niantic, the update is available now, and it allows Pokemon GO to make use of Apple’s ARKit technology for devices with iOS 11, which the company says should create a more “dynamic gameplay” experience. Evidently, once the AR+ functionality has become activated, owners of the iPhone 6s and newer models will be given the chance to interact more directly with wild Pokemon. To be more specific, with AR+ enabled in Pokemon GO, should a trainer move closer or further away to the creature on the screen, it will respond accordingly....

Prior datamines have suggested that Shadow Eggs are on their way to Pokemon GO and this APK code offers further evidence. Additional Team GO Rocket Egg code adds the actual shadow egg assets to the game, which likely means the items are going to go live very soon. Perhaps there will be an upcoming Team GO Rocket event in Pokemon GO to unveil the new feature. RELATED: Pokemon GO: How To Buy The City Explorer Pass...

In a recent interview at TechCrunch Disrupt SF, John Hanke got down to business talking about Pokemon GO’s future. In addition to the news that Pokemon GO will come to Android smartwatch devices eventually, Hanke also discussed Pokemon battling. According to the CEO, his own son loves the Pokemon series, and wants to be able to battle with his friends in the Pokemon GO game. Regarding whether or not this could happen, Hanke had this to say:...

Now, reports are coming in that the Pokemon GO developer may also be taking steps to remove some of the Pokestops that have been known to cause problems. VG 24/7 notes that numerous cities have had success cleaning up Pokestops after sending multiple removal requests to Niantic. Earlier this week, a suburb in Australia had numerous Pokestops removed after there were reports of players blocking roads and keeping local residents awake at night....

Today, Niantic and gaming-for-food organization Playmob announced that they are teaming up to hold the first ever Pokemon GO Earth Day event. The Pokemon GO Earth Day Clean Up event will take place on April 22 and is described as “a series of events that will take place across locations around the world.” This is in accordance with the principles of Earth Day, which is held globally each year to celebrate the birth of the modern environmental movement in the 1970s....

In an update published on the official Pokemon GO website, Niantic confirmed that it would soon be ending support for Apple devices that are “not capable of upgrading to iOS 11.” This includes the iPhone 5, the iPhone 5C, and the iPad 4. The change will be rolled out on February 28, 2018, says Niantic. After this date, “Trainers using affected devices may no longer be able to access their Pokémon GO accounts from that device, or use their PokéCoins or other items in their Bags....

While most of these changes have been reverted back to pre-pandemic settings, one aspect of the game that unfortunately took a major hit during the peak pandemic years was Pokemon GO Fest. Originally a live show for fans to attend, the event transitioned to a purely digital one where everyone could participate regardless of location. For many fans, the annual event is a highly anticipated moment as it brings with it unique raids, special research tasks, and other opportunities to catch some of the more rare Pokemon within the mobile title....

Treecko, Torchic, and Mudkip all appear in a new Pokémon GO ad on the Apple Watch app store. Each of these Pokémon were popular starters for Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, and the ad appears to be identical to the Halloween ad (with the substitution of the starters for the Ghost-types). It is also worth noting that Dataminers have discovered a plethora of new moves for the game, though none are usable at the moment....

Today, Niantic announced a Pokemon GO feature called Adventure Sync, which the developer says will make exploring “easier” than before. The upcoming feature does not yet have a release date, but it will allow players to record their walking distances even when they haven’t opened the game. It will simply record the distance walked in the background. This should make hatching eggs easier at least, as players will no longer miss out on precious kilometers when they’ve forgotten to open the game before going on their walk....

First off, players will only be able to have one Pokemon as their designated “buddy” at any given time. While a Pokemon is designated to buddy duty, players won’t be able to use it for other tasks in the game. So if Pokemon trading was available, a buddy Pokemon wouldn’t be able to be traded until its status as a buddy Pokemon was removed. Likewise, a buddy Pokemon is unable to fight in gym battles....

On the official Pokemon GO Twitter account, Niantic posted a rather sinister looking image of a silhouette of a Pokemon emerging from the woods. It doesn’t name the Pokemon, obviously, with the caption only mentioning that mysterious chanting can be heard deep in the wild.
