So sit back and relax to THE SOOTHING SOUND OF MY VOICE! In today’s episode, we’re making funny remarks about Pokémon's latest reveals, Vampire Too Damn Long Title 2 being delayed and Blizzard reaching for a made in China banhammer. Enjoy!
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.
The next pair of Pokemon games won't be busting the bandwidth bank, as they're only a few gigabytes in size.
Pokémon Masters got off to a great start last month, thanks to it nailing certain pocket monsters factors: It looked great in action, the core gameplay was a blast and the gacha theme of collecting Sync Pairs made for an addictive grind. The only problem? That grind could only last so long and once you cleared the current story mode, fatigue quickly begins to set in.
Pokémon Shield’s exclusive fella is a delightful variation of the generation one classic. It’s elemental type has also been altered in the Galar region, shifting from Fire-type to Psychic-type and making it a natural for use against Poison-type users with its Pastel Veil ability.
I know what you’re thinking. “More Pokémon Sword and Shield news? I say thee nay!”. Well tough luck chum because I say thee neigh.
Have you ever double-checked your doors at night because something just didn’t feel secure? …
A spooky European village. Properly scary castle mania. Vampires. Werewolves!
