Luckily, Niantic responded quickly and enacted a number of very popular changes that made it easier to play the game from the safety of a player’s own house or maybe even from a parked car not too far away from a Pokestop or Gym. Changes to Incense length and effectiveness, required range for interacting with Gyms, and free gifts from Buddies all helped make the last year one of Pokemon GO’s most popular to date....
Battle Raids are a massive part of the Pokemon GO experience and are the primary way that many players catch Legendary creatures. There are other options available now, thanks to GO Battle League, but level 5 Battle Raids are really what the game is all about for many players. Details from a new datamine suggest Pokemon GO has a plan to keep that scene alive without breaking state or country lockdown orders....
The Raid was discovered near Tottori, Japan, at the Uradome Coast Pokemon Gym. According to those in the area, the Pokemon GO gym is still accessible despite the EX Raid going on. However, it’s not possible to access the Raid itself, since EX Raids require a pass in order to participate. Although Niantic hasn’t yet commented on the Raid, it’s quite likely that the company is testing the Ho-Oh EX Raid before it actually goes live to the public in order to catch and correct any problems beforehand....
Before diving into the Pokemon GO Ultra Unlock: Time tasks and rewards, it is important to note that this Timed Research will only be available until Tuesday, August 3 at 8pm local time. As such, players should make sure to start working on these tasks sooner rather than later, or they may miss out on some of the rewards. Fortunately, none of the challenges are extremely difficult, and fans that put in a bit of effort should have ample time to complete them all....
With only the trademark to go off, there’s very little evidence to suggest The Pokemon Company has any plans to bring Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver to Nintendo Switch, but that doesn’t mean it’s entirely out of the realm of possibility. The problem is that it would take far more work to port games from the Nintendo DS and 3DS era than something like Super Mario 3D All-Stars or the upcoming Pikmin 3 Deluxe because of the handheld’s dual-screen functionality....
Though the Pokemon Center in older games is known to house Nurse Joy and the capacity to heal injured Pokemon, it has since evolved into more of a one-stop shop in the newer generation games. This may have been the company’s inspiration in opening actual Pokemon Centers in Japan, and in the West, but with the intention for fans to have a more physical look and feel of the items they are selling....
RELATED: Pokemon Legends: Arceus - Every Mythical & Legendary Pokemon (& Where to Find Them) In total, there are 43 crafting recipes in Pokemon Legends: Arceus, with the first few being unlocked very early on as part of the crafting tutorial. Players will acquire the rest of them by completing story missions and requests, increasing their Galaxy Team rank, and purchasing them from the Craftworks in Jubilife Village. Every Crafting Recipe in Pokemon Legends: Arceus Pokemon Legends: Arceus is available now for the Nintendo Switch....
Pokemon Legends: Arceus Peat Block The Peat Block is an item used solely for Pokemon evolutions in Arceus. Teddiursa will need a Peat Block in order to evolve into Ursaring, and Ursaring into Ursaluna. But there is a limit to when this can take place; with Pokemon Legends: Arceus’ weather and moon phases, players can only make these evolutions only during the full moon in the Crimson Mirelands. But first, they will need to find a Peat Block....
In Pokemon Legends: Arceus, the player is tasked with completing the first Pokedex in history. Every entry in the book is blank, and players must catch Pokemon multiple times while observing their specific behaviors to fully complete each entry. While Pokedex entries are typically completed when a monster is captured for the first time in the mainline series, Pokemon Legends: Arceus requires significantly more work. This one change made the Pokedex seem more worthwhile, and it felt like a major accomplishment to complete it....
Namely, Pokemon Legends: Arceus will feature three starters for players to choose from - one grass-type, one fire-type, and one water-type, as usual. The twist when it comes to the Pokemon Legends: Arceus starters is that instead of introducing brand new starters, each one will be pulled from other regions. This includes the Johto region’s Cyndaquil, the Unova region’s Oshawott, and the Alola region’s Rowlet. RELATED: The Pokemon Company Launches Project Piplup...
Pokemon Legends: Arceus is basically a prequel to Pokemon: Diamond and Pearl (which also just received announcements for remakes today). The game takes place many ages ago in the Sinnoh region. In fact, the style of the game looks to have a very feudal Japan feel to it, which may make sense if the game is supposed to take place hundreds of years ago in a time in which Pokemon roamed the wilderness more freely....
[HTML1] There’s always that one game that fans have wanted for years that any given company refuses to give them for whatever reason. While many developers are reluctant to give into the demands of consumers for their own reasons, one thing that gamers have wanted for years now is a true to form Pokemon game on consoles. While fans continue to wait on news that may or may never arrive on that dream project, modders have taken to bringing a trio of iconic Pocket Monsters into Epic Game’s Unreal Engine 4....
Furthermore, it’s worth mentioning that every Sync Pair has a special move, though not many have been revealed. Pokemon Masters will likely showcase more special moves in the days prior to its release as well as more Sync Pairs. Most of the Sync Pairs require little guesswork, as the trainer is often paired with its most iconic Pokemon. Cynthia’s partner Pokemon is Garchomp, for example, and Steven Stone’s is Metagross....
In a video that has since amassed half a million views, we can see what appears to be thousands of Taiwanese citizens running through the street, hoping to find Snorlax. Apparently, this particular area in Taipei is notorious for having rare Pokemon, and so the sight of thousands of people storming through the streets isn’t exactly uncommon there anymore. Of course, having thousands of people constantly crowd one particular district in Taiwan is a recipe for disaster, and there have been some issues....
During the last major announcement from Niantic, the company confirmed that Mewtwo will be introduced to Pokemon GO in the form of Exclusive Raids. The press release gave a high level description of how Exclusive Raids will work, but there are still lots of details that are unclear. One thing that the press release did make clear is that Zapdos, Articuno, and Moltres will stop appearing in level five Battle Raids after August 31....
Before we get into that, though, it’s important that players take note of all the different ghost-type Pokemon currently available in Pokemon GO: Banette Dusclops Duskull Gastly Gengar Haunter Misdreavus Sableye Shuppet While this is mostly based on anecdotal evidence, it does seem as though ghost-type Pokemon seem to spawn more frequently at churches and urban areas. Because of this, players on the hunt for ghost-type Pokemon in Pokemon GO may want to head to a city for their Pokemon hunting....
Pokemon GO’s addition of the golems follows rumors that leaked online last night of the trio being added to the game. While only Niantic knew in what form and how last night, the company officially revealed it in-game this morning with the following message: “Feel the CHILL! The Legendary Ice-type Pokemon Regice has come to Raid Battles until July 19.” The announcement reveals that players will have nearly a month to add the new legendary to their roster, and presumably, Regirock or Registeel will filter in afterward....
With the introduction of raids to Pokemon GO back in June 2017 swathes of Pokemon have been made available as raid bosses and these latest additions are much the same, but the region system is a new twist. The Pokemon now available as raid bosses are as follows: Walrein, Duskull and Pinsir are available as raid bosses in the areas where Latios currently resides as the legendary raid boss (North America, South America and Africa)....
Pokemon Air Adventures is designed to offer Pokemon GO players in-game perks for players who go traveling. Initially, Pokemon Air Adventures plans to focus on Okinawa, an area in Japan, with a reward of a special Okinawan kariyushi shirt Pikachu that can be discovered and caught. However, fans who were looking forward to adding one of these Pikachu to their collection in the near future will need to wait a while longer....
In this week’s Pokemon GO Dev Diary, some of the game’s creators reflected on the last few Seasons and the current Season of Heritage. The blog went beyond just discussing the 2021 seasons though and even offered some hints about how 2022’s event windows will learn 2021 and evolve to make the experiences even more exciting for trainers.
