The most popular Pokemon games tend to be the mainline games. They follow a tried and tested formula of catching and battling Pokemon, nurturing them so they can face even tougher battles and so that you can become the best trainer there ever was. Though, when you grow tired of going from Gym Leader to Gym Leader but still want your Pokemon fix, there are fortunately plenty of Pokemon spin-off games for you to try.
]]>When you’re dealing with a hybrid console, the best Switch games have to be just as brilliant on the bus home from work as they are on a 65 inch OLED.
]]>The Pokemon Company and Nintendo have announced Pokemon Home v.2.0, which will add two additional games to be mutually compatible with the cloud service app.
]]>Nintendo has released an update for Pokemon Legends: Arceus that fixes a few issues players have run into.
]]>Nintendo announced overnight that its latest Pokemon game, Pokemon Legends: Arceus, has already sold over 6.5 million copies.
]]>In Pokemon Legends Arceus, some classic Pokemon have had their evolution methods revised. One such Pokemon is Haunter, who used to require you to trade to evolve to Gengar - but no longer.
]]>Pokemon Legends: Arceus is brave. After years of relative stagnancy and careful iteration, it represents a major step forward for the Pokemon franchise. Sure, Game Freak and The Pokemon Company have made these changes in a game whose naming is clearly geared to angle it at a spin-off, but Legends Arceus is also set apart from Pokemon’s other side stories, which have generally speaking been more cheaply made and rooted in other genres. This is a spin-off with all the ambition and budget of a main game.
]]>There’s a lot of all-new things in Pokemon Legends: Arceus, and one of the most curious is a new addition to the series - a new way of Pokemon being able to evolve. One of the Pokemon that introduces this is Wyrdeer, a new evolution of Stantler.
]]>Original generation Pokemon Scyther is back in Pokemon Legends: Arceus, and it brings with it an all-new evolution: Kleavor.
]]>Pokemon Legends Arceus Mass Outbreaks are a twist on a familiar feature from earlier games that give you a better chance to find Shiny Pokemon and even complete some research tasks.
]]>Pokemon Legends Arceus EV values got a bit of a makeover during the trip back in time, and it’s one that gives you more control over how your Pokemon grows.
]]>Shiny hunting in Pokemon Legends Arceus is still a grind, but the Hisuian adventure gives you more control than usual over the odds.
]]>The release of Pokemon Legends: Arceus has been a smashing success, and players all around the world are indulging in the Hisuian traditions and way of life. An easy way to do this is to grab the free items on offer from Game Freak via the Mystery Gift codes.
]]>The Cherrim location in Pokemon Legends Arceus is rather more difficult to find than you might first think.
]]>Finding the new Pokemon Legends Growlithe version might be top on your list of things to do after falling through the sky, but you’ll need some patience and a bit of experience under your belt.
]]>From the moment it was announced, Pokemon Legends: Arceus faced one constant comparison – to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Even as reviews dropped yesterday, I saw quite a few reviews - which arguably should’ve known better - refer to it as ‘Pokemon of the Wild’ or something similar.
]]>Pokemon evolution naturally continues to be a major component in Pokemon Legends: Arceus. No matter how much the game changes - and a lot has changed - that’s an immovable aspect of the Pokemon series. Despite that, there has been one major change of the process of how to evolve - and you might initially miss it.
]]>Lots of series staple elements have been severely shaken up in Pokemon Legends: Arceus - including everything from how you catch Pokemon to how you manage your items. With a Zelda-like open world twist comes one change that’ll make some fans wince - a limited inventory. Luckily, you can upgrade your inventory space.
]]>Pokemon Legends: Arceus holds some series traditions steadfast and relatively unchanged, and perhaps the most holy pillar of the Pokemon battle system is the Type Chart, the complicated and yet beautifully simple list of how each of the 18 different Pokemon types perform against each other in battle.
]]>It seems that no single element of the Pokemon formula is sacred in Pokemon Legends: Arceus, the new open-world take on Pokemon that’s seriously shaking up series traditions. Even how you learn and change a Pokemon’s move set is different this time around - and the change is certainly for the better.
]]>One thing that hasn’t changed in Pokemon Legends: Arceus is the concept of a starter Pokemon; your very first buddy Pokemon, gifted to you by a Pokemon professor, as is tradition. For most people, their choice of starter Pokemon becomes their main friend throughout their Pokemon adventure - and so choosing the right starter is important.
]]>While pre-release it’s been compared quite a bit to Zelda, the structure of Pokemon Legends: Arceus actually has more in common with Monster Hunter than Breath of the Wild. One of the greatest similarities to that series comes in the form of your vital safe havens: Base Camps.
]]>Rejoice, as one of the most annoying and fiddly aspects of the Pokemon meta has been significantly changed in Pokemon Legends: Arceus. Gone are TMs, HMs, TRs, and varied Move Tutors, and you no longer have to go through a complicated process to add new Pokemon moves, or remember previously-replaced ones! This is a huge change.
]]>Pokemon Legends: Arceus is out later this week, and reviews for the title have landed.
]]>Back at the turn of the millenium, I had a dream. The Nintendo GameCube was about to release, and I was utterly Pokemon obsessed. Pokemon RBY and GSC remain some of my favorite games of all time – but I was also a Final Fantasy fan. I’d spent those same years being wowed by the scale and spectacle of the PS1’s Japanese RPG catalogue, and as a Pokemon fan I couldn’t help but wonder: what if Pokemon was like this? I’d play that GameCube tech demo over 56k internet over and over again and while the Zelda bit was my favourite, a brief glimpse of Pokemon dancing had set my mind racing. What if Pokemon was 3D, and as ambitious in scope as the other world-shaking console JRPGs?
]]>Rolling hills and deep valleys with crisp, mountain air. Long, golden beaches with crystal waves lapping at the shore. Young, bustling settlements brimming with human activity. This is Hisui; the setting of the newest Pokemon game, and a location unlike any we’ve ever seen in the Pokemon universe before. You most likely know this region as Sinnoh – that’s what it’s called in the modern-day Pokemon games – but this title is set long before Diamond and Pearl, in a time ‘far ago’, per official Game Freak press releases.
]]>For those looking out for Pokemon Legends: Arceus, you’d best be careful scouting around the internet as a small number of streamers are playing the game right now on Twitch. While it’s unclear how exactly these people have gotten their copies, they aren’t being shy about letting everyone know about their early access.
]]>Pokemon Legends: Arceus is a major event for the Pokemon series. Not only is it breaking with many series traditions to present a clearly Breath of the Wild-inspired open-world take on the Pokemon series, but it’s also taking a swing at a relatively underused concept for the Pokemon franchise: a historical story.
]]>If you’re tired of the age-old Pokemon tradition of grinding Gym Leaders, defeating an evil, villainous team and then besting the Elite Four, you’re in luck – Pokemon Legends: Arceus doesn’t just rewrite the Pokemon rule book… it throws it out the window all together. For its latest open world epic, Game Freak is taking us back in time – back to an era where Sinnoh was known as Hisui – and its making some serious changes to the Pokemon formula we’ve all come to know and love over the last three decades.
]]>This Pokemon Legends: Arceus video starts off showing the lovely fields and meadows of Hisui, which will eventually come to be known as the Sinnoh region, before delving into some gameplay details.
]]>Nintendo has released a new six-minute trailer for Pokemon Legends: Arceus which provides an overview of the game.
]]>Welcome back everyone, Hope you're well rested and ready for a big year of games in 2022.
]]>The Pokemon Company is handing out an incentive to those who’ve played recent Pokemon titles and who pick up Pokemon Legends: Arceus.

]]>The Pokemon Company has clarified that Pokemon Legends: Arceus is not an open-world game, as many assumed due to the original description of the game and by watching the trailers.
]]>Pokemon Legends: Arceus will feature not only a new Legendary creature, but some Pokemon in the game will also have Hisuian forms.
]]>The next Pokemon Presents showcase arrives next week.
]]>The new Pokemon spin-off title Pokemon Legends: Arceus just got a release date announced, so you know it's time to pre-order it!
]]>A release date has been announced for the Switch action-RPG Pokemon Legends: Arceus.
