In perhaps the most devastating (and ironic) update in Badge Arcade history, the eon Pokémon Latias soars in without her BFF and inseparable love companion, Latios. Is their relationship okay? Did they break up? Is it your fault for not buying both versions of Ruby and Sapphire back in 2002? These are the important issues that will forever haunt us in our sleep.
Fortunately, Cupid’s arrow has struck the Badge Arcade all week featuring Nintendo inspired treats and candied sweets. Exclusive Ashley and Nikki Valentine sets lead the charge, joined by adorable Monster Hunter Felynes, realistic Tomodachi life chocolates, life-giving Zelda hearts and lovestruck Animal Crossing villagers. Also, a slew of Rhythm Heaven badges pick up the slack for anyone finding the holiday a little too corporate, though it seems like a missed opportunity for some new Love Rap badges, if you ask me. These exclusive sets likely won’t reappear for another year, so be sure to make them your Valentine before the week’s up!
