In an interesting turn of events, it looks like Niantic and Pokémon GO have created a new way of announcing Community Day featured Pokémon… mini trailers! We got our first taste of this kind of announcement earlier today, with Pokémon GO using this new format to announce Slakoth as June’s…
A new set of Pokémon figures will be out in Japan soon, and these little ones are bringing a lot more fun. Rather than just sit soundly on display, these tiny guys bring the unbridled thrill of finger puppetry to your life! Have a look for yourself: Featured Pokemon…
Pokémon developer Game Freak is said to be “prioritizing” the development of new games to help grow its staff’s experience (and therefore improve the Pokémon series), according to programmer and director Masayuki Onoue.
