, Sep 10th 2012 Discuss [18]

Being a Pokemon trainer can be rough, especially if you made some bad decisions throughout your journey. Sure, that Pidgey was cute, but cute doesn't matter much when that same Pidgey has to go up against something like a Dragonite. Luckily, Nintendo is here to give you an edge in battle, provided you're willing to show your support for the Pokemon franchise and purchase Pokemon Black and White 2 early. Read The Full Story

Pokemon cards seized in counterfeit card sting

, Jul 16th 2012 Discuss [1]

More than $200,000 worth of Pokemon trading cards were destroyed. On purpose. By government officials. At least, that's what they would have been worth if they were real.

Nintendo confirms Pokemon Black and White 2

, Feb 27th 2012 Discuss [0]

Have we finally reached the point where Nintendo has run out of colors for which to name its Pokemon RPG titles? After it chose black and white for the last installment, it seemed like that might be the case. Now it seems even more that way, as the next two entries in the franchise will be named Pokemon White 2 and Pokemon Black 2. However, the naming may not be entirely due to the fact that there are only a few colors left to choose. Read The Full Story

GeoSociety for iPhone Review : a perfect Pokemon alternative

, Feb 23rd 2012 Discuss [8]

Recently we’ve heard a whole lot about the epic release and defamation of Pokemon Yellow for iPhone, a game that turned out to be a scam and was thusly removed from the market. Because this game became so popular it reached the top 10 in the iTunes App Store before it was removed from the market, we decided to go on a hunt for the best Pokemon alternative on the market instead. Turns out there’s one that stands out above the best – not necessarily because it commands its own genre, but because it replicates the original Pokemon game so precisely!

That's Apple for you. Of course, by now the 99-cent Pokemon Yellow game has been removed from iTunes but not before there was a huge kerfuffle. Read The Full Story

Pokemon Fake removed from App Store while fans remain stalwart

, Feb 21st 2012 Discuss [6]

This week there's been a proverbial firestorm surrounding the undeniably massive amount of downloads of a Pokemon Yellow fake app in the iTunes App Store. Now it's been taken down (because it was fake, and for the most part didn't work), but the fans looking to actually have a working copy of Pokemon for their iPhone remain wanting. It's a matter of Nintendo not wanting to get in to the mobile world outside of their own cartridge-based gaming systems, and because Pokemon is a massive hero game for the Nintendo line of devices, fans have been and will continue to be waiting for quite some time for an official release.
