At the end of Pokémon GO’s Season of Max Out, there’s a special global event that all Trainers can partake in. Not quite a GO Fest or Tour, the GO Wild Area event is pulling some inspiration from the Safari Zone, but with a spotlight on Electric- and Poison-type Pokémon….
Throughout the 20++ years of Pokémon, each generation has introduced us to a new cast of characters. Friends, rivals, family, and random strangers who like comfy shorts and want to battle have been a key part in each game’s story. Naturally fans have grown attached; coupled with those characters fleshed…

Other than the fishing tourney, there’s not a whole lot of news in Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp this week (yet). The game’s giving all us campers two new item options that’ll require Leaf Tickets for the time being — Timmy’s golden harp and Tommy’s golden harp. When in motion, Timmy…
Welcome back to the Wire Weekly, where I, Ben “spent $25 on an ultra rare jpeg of a rapping bear once” Fruzzetti, run through the week’s assortment of Nintendo news with what could charitably be referred to as wit, sarcasm, and personality. Ah, gacha games. The perpetual source of my…
Only available on Android devices, Pokémon Rumble Rush launched worldwide earlier this week. iOS users will have to wait again — a pattern that’s developed with the recent mobile releases between The Pokémon Company and Nintendo (Mario Kart Tour’s closed beta). Regardless of your system preferences, you might still be…
We’ve seen a number of creative shots of all the available Eeveelutions next to their respective decorative manhole covers in Ibusuki, Japan ever since the project started earlier this year (around March). And now that Pokémon GO has added Leafeon and Glaceon to the roster, we have the pleasure of…
It’s time to head to Saltwater Shores, campers! Chip is asking you to once again search for those sparkling shadows in the water. Turn in the atlantic mackerel, pacific saury, and sea bass to him — he’ll measure all of ’em and you’ll meet certain size goals along the way!…
