Back in October 2018, Uniqlo announced that it’d be holding another contest for a wave of Pokémon shirts, and now the winners have been announced. From melty Pikachu popsicles to Team Rocket using a crane machine, there are plenty of cute designs. The winner, though, is a stylish Gyarados print,…
Another week, another batch of new faces set to make their debut in Fire Emblem: Three Houses later this summer. Each of the game’s groups of students have grown a little bigger but this time a few teachers are in the mix. Assuming they’re NPC’s and unavailable to develop as…
