Picture the scene: You're up early, you decide to get some shopping done, and you head on down to ye olde supermarket, only to be met by a horde of fidgety dudes at the front door, hungry for a fresh drop of Pokemon cards which can then be scalped online for grossly-inflated prices. That's the reality which Instagram user tcg_grassi and Twitter user bigcards30 shared over the weekend, as a Walmart in Pennsylvania saw a small mob of folks rush inside the store to score some of that sweet poke-loot.

In an age of readily available stonks, Doge Coin, and this Jpeg of an anime catgirl that I stole off of DeviantARt and turned into an NFT, one of the most valuable commodities on the planet happens to be…Pokemon cards. The pocket monster cards have become a sought-after collectible item in recent years, and in the US especially, people will do anything to get their hands on them.

New Pokemon Snap captures the magic of the original game without ever losing focus, expanding on that game with a vastly increased collection of Pokemon, colourful zones to explore, and a few other interesting developments behind the lens of this delightful romp.

If there’s two things to know about me, it’s that I have a deep love for two games in particular: Pokémon and Destiny. Both games offer incredibly different experiences, but what if they were fused into one almighty being that was both cute and deadly? Then you’d have something that looks like this, as envisioned by the adorable fan art from Twitter user and artist Eun.

Coromon looks like a fantastic riff on the Pokemon formula. As you’d expect, you’re catching monsters, training them into powerhouses, and then stomping all over the feelings of PETA by chucking them into combat against each other so that you can be the best like no one before you ever was. That’s your real test right there pal.

It's time to remake the remake of Pokemon Diamond and Pearl.

In today’s episode I dig deep into the well of my current obsession of obtaining retro video games, Brad doesn’t shut up about Loop Hero, and I request a bucket of the gravy used to make KFC mash so delicious.

I actually licked a Nintendo Switch game cart during this one and if anyone accuses me of not suffering enough for my art I’ll formally have you written out of my will.
