Pokémon Games

It’s been a long time coming, but Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee! are finally available across the globe.

To celebrate their release, as some of you have likely already noticed, we’ve created a brand new forum section dedicated to all discussions about these latest Pokémon games. All posts previously found on the Alola Games forum have been moved to the Pokémon Games Discussion forum - the new location for all Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon chatter going forward.

But that’s not all. Click through to read more!...

Incineroar is the latest Pokemon addition to the Smash Bros lineup - and is the 74th and last* character to be announced for the game for its launch on the 7th December.

*We'll get to the caveat for that in a minute.


Incineroar has a moveset based largely off of its attacks in Sun/Moon, including a final smash based off its signature Z-Move. He's also joined by Street Fighter's Ken - an echo fighter of Ryu.

But, while there may not be any more new characters to be revealed for the game's launch in December, there will be more to come!



Piranha Plant has been announced as an "early purchase" bonus for players that either pre-order or buy the game before the 31st January. The download code for the character will be made available from mid-November, but it's not clear if they'll actually be available to play as when the game launches...

Happy Halloween, everyone!

In honour of this ghostly day, the Pokémon Company has released a new trailer for Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee! and Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! featuring the lovely Lavender Town in all its spooky glory.

Beyond the location itself, and the fact your Pokémon partners may shiver with fright while exploring, the trailer is fairly brief - but enjoy the new rendition of the classic Lavender Town theme!

After the weekend's drama of uncovering an apparent new Pokemon in the update data for Pokemon Go, followed by said new Pokemon appearing after the Chikorita Community Day for capture (albeit with it immediately turning into a Ditto afterwards), The Pokemon Company International has officially revealed the Pokemon as Meltan.


Initially teased by the above tweet, shortly before the announcement, Meltan was revealed this afternoon in a video showing Professor Willow from Pokemon Go and Professor Oak discussing the new Pokemon and its mysterious appearance over the weekend:


Meltan is a new Mythical Pokémon, and its' details are as following:

Name: Meltan
Category: Hex Nut Pokémon
Height: 0'08"
Weight: 17.6 lbs.

Meltan is confirmed as the new Pokemon that will...

The official Pokémon Youtube channel recently dropped a new trailer for Pokémon Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon Let’s Go, Eevee! featuring Mega Kangaskhan and Mega Gyarados. This brief trailer shows off the two Pokémon Mega Evolving and attacking, but nothing else of note.

Take a look!

We've all been absent last week for various reasons (except Doctor Oak who managed to materialize on Sunday) - but this week, we're back on Twitch and Youtube for our usual stream shenangians.

Tonight (Friday) at 10pm BST (Your timezone here) - I'm back in Sinnoh - where, among other things, we handle a potential bomb threat and hopefully survive whatever our next encounter is.

Tomorrow (Saturday), at the same time, DoctorOak hits Johto again in Pokémon SoulSilver (in which, presumably, Ecruteak happens), and the next day (Sunday), Teapot returns to Unova in Pokémon White and... actually gets on with the plot after getting out of Twist Mountain? We can only hope.


As usual, make sure you're following us on...
