The homebrew port comes courtesy of guacasaurus_mex, who shared the news of his upcoming homebrew release over on Instagram. As one might expect, the capabilities of the Dreamcast’s VMU do not quite match up to those found on a modern mobile phone, so guacasaurus_mex has needed to cut down the content for this version of Pokemon GO. Rather than basing a player’s location on GPS, which is understandably not possible with the Dreamcast VMU, instead the homebrew will randomly generate a map for the player to explore....

In addition to special research, special spawns, and unique Egg hatches, the Halloween Mischief events will also bring some special Battle Raid bosses to Pokemon GO. During the first of the two events, the big spotlight will be on Mega Gengar, so players may want to start updating their Ghost/Poison-type counters right now. RELATED: Pokemon GO Altered Forme Giratina Counters (October 2021) Mega Gengar is available now and players have until Friday, October 22, 2021, at 10:00 a....

Niantic has announced that, in an effort to show its support of Ukraine and contribute to the growing sanctions against Russia, its games are no longer available for download in Russia or Belarus. Niantic has also said that it will be suspending gameplay operations in Russia and Belarus for Pokemon GO and its other games indefinitely. Besides Pokemon GO, Niantic is also known for Ingress and Pikmin Bloom. It also had an augmented reality Harry Potter game called Harry Potter: Wizards Unite, but it was shut down at the end of January 2022....

Basically, there will be three challenge windows where Pokemon GO players all over the world will try to catch as many Pokemon as possible. These challenge windows will be from 11:00am to 11:30am, 12:00pm to 12:30pm, and 3:00pm to 3:30pm. Those at Grant Park will rack up bonus modifiers for all Pokemon GO players by catching Pokemon of specific types, whereas those elsewhere will want to focus on simply catching them all to reach a gold tier rating....

Trainers may already be booking travel plans for the upcoming 2020 live PoGO events around the world, but there’s a Lunar New Year event to work through first. The event brings some new and different creatures to the Pokemon GO 7km Egg pool, so many players are currently deciding whether this batch is worth burning through some incubators for. RELATED: Pokemon GO: Gyarados Raid Counters (January 2020 Update) In general, the Lunar New Year Pokemon in 7km Eggs do not include any particularly exciting metagame options....

Pokemon GO Trainers who earn seven stamps and claim a reward during March will be rewarded with a Gible encounter. Although that’s not quite as exciting as a Legendary encounter like in the old days of Research Breakthrough, it’s still a pretty good one. Gible’s evolutions are relevant to the Pokemon GO meta game, so players should be able to use this opportunity to stock up on some extra Candy and hopefully encounter a near perfect spawn as well....

The first time Pokemon GO players complete a Field Research task in any given day, they are given a stamp for that day. After completing Field Research tasks in Pokemon GO on seven different days, players are given a Field Research breakthrough reward. This usually consists of various consumable items and Poke Balls, but it also includes an encounter with a specific Pokemon, oftentimes a rare one that’s usually hard to track down....

Original story follows: In the early days of Pokemon GO server outages and login problems were pretty much a daily occurrence. Things have gotten much better on that front now that the game has worked through most of its growing pains, but, like all online games, it still has its problems. Today, that problem is keeping Pokemon Trainer Club players from logging in and starting the egg hatching event....

Pokemon GO has spent much of its time post-launch atop the Apple App Store “Top Grossing” chart, but the mobile market is finicky. It’s been more than a month and a half since Pokemon GO fell from the top position, but that’s since changed. Just this past week Niantic released the largest expansion to Pokemon GO yet, adding over 80 Generation 2 Pokemon to the roster. The update also added several new microtransactions for players to spend real money on, including fashion items for their in-game avatars....

In addition to the curveball bug fix, the latest Pokemon GO update brings a long list of other changes to the game’s code. One of those changes that wasn’t advertised in the official notes from Niantic is the addition of support for multiple forms for two Gen 3 Pokemon. Pokemon with any variation require multiple forms (like Ditto, shinies, costumed Pokemon, or Unown). Adding the support code for Deoxys’ and Castform’s multiple forms means that the game is one step closer to being ready to launch Gen 3....

Initially released in February of 2020, Pokemon Home is a valuable resource for players that would like to carry their Pokemon over from one game to the other, especially between platforms. It is a paid subscription service, though, and players should know all the details of how they can carry more Pokemon in Pokemon Home in order to most effectively take advantage of the service. A new update for Pokemon Home (2....

The second episode of Aim to Be a Pokémon Master featured a match between Ash and Misty, as both wanted to catch Udeppou. Given that both Pokemon trainers are always up for a challenge, they decided to establish a match, the winner of which will become Udeppou’s master. While Ash had recently become a Pokemon Master, it seems like that wasn’t enough, as the anime saw him get defeated....

How to Catch Abra The main reason why Abra can be quite difficult to get in Pokemon Legends: Arceus is that it usually spawns alone, and it is also quick to use Teleport when it spots players from a distance. Sometimes, an alerted Abra will teleport in the general vicinity of where it was previously, but other times it will just disappear.

Nintendo released a new Pokemon Legends: Arceus trailer that properly revealed Hisuian Zorua and Hisuian Zoroark. Previously teased in a found footage horror movie-style teaser, Hisuian Zorua and Hisuian Zoroark will be the first-ever dual Normal/Ghost-type Pokemon in the history of the franchise. Pokemon fans will get to check them out in Pokmeon Legends: Arceus early next year, and those that purchase the game within a certain timeframe will also get access to some additional goodies....

Part of that success is likely due to the various changes Pokemon Legends: Arceus makes to the core gameplay loops from past games. While players are encouraged to complete the Pokedex considering they’re creating the very first one according to the game’s lore, gameplay also includes much more open areas where they can come across wild Pokemon that can be caught without battling. While not positioned as a true live-service title, it’s clear that Nintendo aims to hold on to the game’s early success by periodically releasing new content and events....

Pokemon Masters has slowly been revealing more and more Sync Pairs (the official term for a Trainer and Partner Pokemon duo), with the likes of Pokemon Adventures characters Red and Blue already being officially unveiled. There is already an extensive list of confirmed appearances, too, such as Lance and his Dragonite, Cynthia and her Garchomp, and Steven Stone and his Metagross. Yet the design and lofty goals of the game mean there is a ton of potential for appearances....

With events like the traveling PokePark theme park in 2005, the Pokemon franchise has strived to bring immersive attractions to fans for decades. The idea of living in the same world as Pikachu and other Pokemon has led to the success of many projects, including the mobile game Pokemon GO, which lets fans catch the pocket monsters as if they’re around them in day-to day-life.

The Pokemon Company has now posted a job listing for a Localization Associate who will be involved with “product development and marketing activities” including digital production and asset management. Under the list of responsibilities, it states that the hired candidate will be dealing with “in-game screenshots and video creation,” “video game hardware and software asset management,” and"DLC data preparation and testing." The position offers a one-year fixed term contract and takes place in London, which is the same location as the other Pokemon localization team roles....

The decision was officially confirmed by The Pokemon Company’s public relations team, according to Axios reporter Stephen Totilo. The team explained that it wanted to be “sensitive to major world events happening at this time and those impacted.” With that in mind, it reduced advertising surrounding the event with the idea in mind that fans would be able to participate in the event if they chose to, rather than making it focus for the industry and potentially take away from more important news....

When it comes to a Pokemon GO Battle Raid boss like Ursaring, trainers have some interesting options. Normal-types are primarily weak to Fire-types, so trainers can lean pretty heavy on that archetype as they attempt to form a powerful counter roster to stand up against this type of raid boss. There have been a lot of powerful Fire-types and Fire moves released in the mobile AR game over the years, so veteran trainers likely have a lot of options for this particular counter roster....
