Gamers got their first taste for catching and battling pocket monsters back in 1996 when Pokemon Red and Green first released. Ever since, Pokemon fans - young and old, far and wide - haven’t been able to get enough of the series, with each game generally amassing more sales than the last, even when they’re riddled with issues. But that’s the thing, Pokemon’s gameplay is just so satisfying, so addictive, that when issues arise, they barely matter as long as there’s new ‘mons and Gym Leaders involved.
]]>Pokemon fans are facing a bit of a dilemma right now. With the end of Nintendo 3DS online features and Nintendo's urging of players to transfer their catches off the platform, a very specific and special kind of pokemon are set to lose their quirks when they make the jump over to Pokemon Home.
]]>Released all the way back in 2011, there was a version of the Nintendo 3DS for everyone. Whether it was the slick and serious 3DS XL - which was a gorgeous piece of tech at the time - or the joyfully pick-up-and-play 2DS, the console marked an incredible and accessible generation of great games.
