If you’re looking for a new twist on old favourites, then here you go: A complete guide to evolving familiar faces into brand new forms in Pokemon Sword and Shield.
From wacky flailing inflatable arm man references to updates of classic memes, here’s how people reacted to the reveal of Gigantamax Meowth:
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.
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.
When you’re choosing a Pokémon game, you have two things to factor in: In this version mascot on the cover cooler than the other one, and which pocket monsters am I going to miss out on? Fortunately, the number of version exclusive Pokémon is far fewer this year, thanks to Pokémon Let’s Go concentrating only on the original generation of adorable critters.
Pokémon games have a habit of turning mundane items into pocket monsters, a tradition which continues in Pokémon Sun and Moon.
