Last night, at 12:30AM, Yaneza was playing Pokemon GO in Central Park, in an area of the park called Grand Army Plaza. The 43 year old Twitch streamer was hunting for a wild Snorlax that was said to be in the area, but had stopped to catch a Seaking that spawned. His attempt to capture the Seaking was unsuccessful, and just after he decided to give up, an unidentified assailant ran up and punched Yaneza in the face....
Computer graphics conference SIGGRAPH 2017 takes place from July 30 - Aug. 3 and an email has been sent out detailing what attendees can expect. Along with the usual talks, panels and tours, SIGGRAPH 2017 Conference Chair Jerome Solomon says that people can also expect Pokemon GO developer Niantic to “release a rare Pikachu.” No other details about the rare character are offered in the email but Pokemon GO fans have already begun to speculate....
According to the Pokemon GO development team, the latest update fixes a major bug which didn’t allow players to power up their Pokemon to the maximum CP levels. This was the cause of a great deal of frustration in the community as players were not able to strengthen their creatures up to the CP that their levels indicated should be possible, which was made more annoying by the fact that the later levels of the game are a real grind to achieve....
However, Pokemon Diamond and Pearl are still referenced in a surprising way through Pokemon Legends: Arceus, and it only makes sense. Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl take place in the Sinnoh Region, which was known as the Hisui Region in the past. Because Diamond, Pearl, and Pokemon Legends: Arceus take place in the same location, it makes sense to expect some connections. In Arceus, the biggest reference so far comes in the form of two clans in the Hisui Region that are simply called Diamond and Pearl....
Aguav Berries were introduced back in Generation 3. They were a holdable item that would restore a quarter of a Pokemon’s health, but only if the Pokemon’s HP dropped below half. If a Pokemon had a Rash, Lax, Naughty, or Naive Nature, then the Pokemon would also get confused upon consuming it. Confusion doesn’t seem to exist in Pokemon Legends: Arceus, but a Pokemon with the correct Nature will pause after it’s eaten one....
By using this guide, players will learn how to save their game in Pokemon Legends: Arceus for the Nintendo Switch. Not saving a player’s game can result in folks losing tons of their precious game data, which means they could potentially end up having to replay certain story missions or losing a rare Pokemon catch. Pokemon Legends: Arceus players should make sure that that doesn’t happen. RELATED: Pokemon Legends: Arceus - Real-World Counterparts for Sinnoh Towns and Landmarks...
The latter is surprisingly getting a sequel, but for the most part, these three have dominated the BR genre. Other battle royale games tried to join the trend before it essentially locked itself down—Ubisoft’s shut down of Hyper Scape proves that. Meanwhile, 2021 saw a plethora of time-loop games such as Deathloop, Lemnis Gate, Returnal, The Forgotten City, and more; most of which were well-received by fans. Then, of course, there’s the continued popularity of roguelike games, including Hades, Sifu, and even Far Cry 6’s DLC (as it embraces this trend)....
For the uninitiated, Magikarp is a fairly common catch in most of the mainline Pokemon games, but once the fishy Pokemon is caught it is more or less useless until it reaches level 15 and finally learns an attack that actually does damage. That’s not hyperbole, either. Before level 15 the only attack Magikarp knows is Splash, and it literally does zero damage. For Reddit user GimmeDatGrimoire, however, obtaining a shiny version of the Pokemon from a notorious NPC in Pokemon Let’s Go became a matter of principle....
The developer announced that it will be teaming up with the Knight Foundation in order to promote engagement with various community events in the United States of America. The goal of this partnership, according to Niantic, is to “promote civic engagement within public spaces,” which it should be able to accomplish for Pokemon GO. CEO of Niantic, John Hanke, summarized his rationale behind the partnership, stating: The first event that’ll be taking advantage of this newfound alliance between Niantic and the Knight Foundation will be Open Streets 704 in Charlotte, North Carolina....
The latest Pokemon GO datamine seems to reveal new plans to bring the bad squad back to the game and offer players more frequent chances to encounter the grunts (likely for a limited time). Unlike prior Team Go Rocket events, this one looks like it’ll include some new features, like a Team Go Rocket hot air balloon that carries grunts around the game’s map.

Part of Giovanni’s updated lineup in Pokemon GO included the Shadow Pokemon, Lugia. Lugia has been a part of the Pokemon franchise almost as long as Giovanni and is one of the series most beloved characters. As the mascot for Pokemon Silver, Lugia is almost instantly recognizable by many and has also been the focus of other fan-favorite entries in the franchise like Pokemon: The Movie 2000 as well as Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness....
While Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus have already been available in Pokemon GO, players previously could only obtain them in their Incarnate Formes. With the upcoming Season of Legends event starting on March 1st however, players will be able to catch these Pokemon in their Therian Formes.

As many gamers know, the lifespan of a modern online video game typically ranges from a year to a few months. However, Niantic’s geocaching experience has been going strong for over six years now. Due to recent updates, the game does not show signs of losing its playerbase anytime soon. But why is this the case? Many contributing factors have led to the long life of Pokemon Go. Taking the time to reflect on some of the experience’s shining moments can bring a fresh outlook and appreciation to the free-to-play title and even inspire some potential game developers of the future....
It has been a steep learning curve for Niantic, but meeting the demands of Pokemon GO players is now something the developer is achieving with the kind of regularity that gamers have come to expect from gaming giants like Blizzard and Valve. Pokemon GO certainly has a long way to go, but subtle changes like the ones made to how Eevees hatch in Pokemon GO show a developer that is listening to the concerns of both its casual and hardcore fans....
Although we do not know an exact date for the launch of these gen 4 evolutions, we do know that it will be coming soon. In the aforementioned Pokemon GO newsletter, Niantic officially addresses the Sinnoh evolutions for the first time, revealing that players should be saving their candy. Also, because it comes from the monthly update, it seems likely that these evolutions could start appearing by the end of this month....
To note, players have until Tuesday, August 17 at 8pm local time to complete all of PoGO’s Ultra Unlock Space Timed Research tasks. While this is a fairly long run for a set of Timed Research, fans should not put off the tasks for too long, or else they may end up missing out on some of the rewards found in the later stages.

A recent update caused a new problem where the collection screen would scroll to the top after each evolution or transfer. For players trying to get maximum value out of their lucky eggs, this was a bit of a nightmare scenario. The community loudly complained about the issue and Niantic was quickly on the case. A fix for this bug and a few other quality of life improvements are the focus of the patch that is currently being rolled out to Android and iOS devices....
Players can expect to find unique Raid Bosses, collection challenges, Pokemon debuts, and even a new form available in the game once the Pokemon GO Valentine’s Day 2022 festival officially kicks off. The event is jam-packed and should be one that is especially appealing to collectors and completionists. There are still a few hours to prepare for the upcoming activities, but trainers can start looking ahead at everything they can expect right now....
The concept was simple yet intuitive as players had the ability to bring over their cherished Pokemon from many generations ago and transport them into the newer generation of Pokemon games, provided they were a part of the game’s Pokedex. Pokemon Home also held many tools that introduced players to data they could never see before.
