Pokemon Unite is a barnstormer right out of the gate. Watch on YouTubeThe world of Pokemon has been applied to many genres of video game, but I think it’s pretty fair to say that only a handful of them have been runaway successes. There’s the original turn-based RPGs, of course. There’s the photography simulation of Snap, and the augmented reality adventures of Pokemon Go.

To be…

Pokemon Go: how many Pokemon are there in the game’s Pokedex?

July 1, 2021VG247

The days when you could easily list every single creature available in Pokemon Go are long, long over. Watch on YouTubeThere’s now a huge number of Pokemon in the game – in fact, there’s now more different species in Pokemon Go than remain to be added.Counting the exact numbers can be challenging, however. The Pokedex is not made equal. Some Pokemon have different regional variants that are completely different Pokemon for all intents and purposes but share a Pokedex number. Others have multiple forms that share a Pokedex number. Some, like Eevee, play by their own rules, with a wide…

Creature-collecting game Palworld looks like a dark, twisted take on Pokemon

June 6, 2021VG247

By Dom Peppiatt 6 June 2021 10:44 GMT Ever wondered what Pokemon would be like if it were more reflective of the real world? Well, wonder no longer because Palworld is likely to answer that question.Let’s be honest, if Pokemon were real, there’s a very good chance they’d be used like animals are in our world – battery farmed, exploited for labor, used as tools and for industry as well as domesticated as pets.Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Pokemon Shining Pearl are launching on November 19, 2021, but if you’d prefer a more mature, pessimistic look at the creature-collecting genre, perhaps Pocket…

The comparisons to Breath of the Wild have been plenty, but more likely than not, it’ll be its own experience. This action RPG takes place (likely far) before the events of Pokemon Pearl and Diamond and gives players a different perspective of the Sinnoh region. It really looks to be an evolution of the Pokemon formula!Pokemon Legends Arceus…
