Nintendo is going to be charging a bit more for the privilege of premium cloud storage, transfers and mobile perks with Pokémon Home.

There used to be a time when Pokémon's star mascot Pikachu was a far more…rounded icon. Chubby cheeks, a big belly and easily confused for a beach ball, Pikachu eventually dropped some weight over the years and took on a more slim profile. Pokeballs to that, we want the original chonker back and Nintendo has clearly listened, because Pokémon Sword and Shield will feature the biggest and heaviest version of the lightning rat yet.

There’s a new Pokémon stream kicking at 3PM CET today, but you know what? I ain’t waiting. While Nintendo has yet to reveal what this stream will focus on, one handy leak of information has already spoiled that upcoming stream. Over on ResetEra, a quick look at Pikachu, Meowth, Eevee and Charizard in their Gigantamax forms has spilled out. And they look DELIGHTFUL! Especially Meowth, who can now transform into a long long cat.

It’s weird when you think about it, because Pokémon and Tamagotchi aren’t too different from one another. Those lines are being blurred further, as a Tamagotchi and Pokémon partnership will see the two companies cross over and release an Eevee-themed Tamagotchi.

With hundreds and hundreds of new critters added over the years, your memory might be a tad bit rusty regarding how the original generation grew and evolved. Worry not! Because we’ve got a handy dandy guide right here that’ll have you knowing exactly when your favourite Pokémon are ready to transform and become even more powerful allies as they hep you on your quest to be the best, like no one ever was.

Despite fears over its simplicity, critics seem to agree that Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee has something to enjoy for both new and old seasoned fans.

Generally speaking, catching and breeding a Pokémon to have a certain nature is a time-consuming process. What you get is what you’re stuck with and there’s no way to change it…unless you’re playing Pokémon Let’s Go Eevee and Pikachu this month that is.

Pokémon Let’s Go wants to offer the players of today a breezier return to the Kanto region and avoid dragging them down with any unnecessary gameplay that could result in boredom.
