We're running down the known list of new Shiny Pokemon appearing in Pokemon GO this month, starting today, March 1, 2021. The first Shiny Pokemon that'll appear in a special event in Pokemon GO is Incarnate Forme Landorus! This Pokemon will appear in five-star raids starting on March 1, 2021 (today), and lasting until Saturday March 6th, 2021.
In the first gameplay trailer for the next-generation Pokemon game Pokemon Legends Arceus, we saw the future. The promise of the Pokemon game we've been dreaming of for a decade. EDIT: The game we've been dreaming of since it was made clear that Pokemon GO couldn't actually deliver a very similar dream until at least 5G was solidified across the planet.
If there's one thing the Pokemon series could use, it's a bit of a shake up. Fans have been saying it for years, and now it looks like they may get what they've been wanting in a new game called Pokemon Legends: Arceus. Announced at the tail end of today's Pokemon Presents presentation, Pokemon Legends: Arceus will take us back to the early days of the Sinnoh region, long before the events of Pokemon Diamond and Pearl.
Pokemon fans have been asking for them for years, and now it seems they're getting them: The Pokemon Company has confirmed that Pokemon Diamond and Pearl are being remade for the Nintendo Switch. It seems that ever since the Switch was released, Pokemon fans have been wondering when we're going to get remakes of Diamond and Pearl, and they were finally revealed during today's Pokemon Presents presentation.
Pokemon GO has a collection of updates and releases ready to roll for the month of March, 2021. In this month of chills, users will find a Research Breakthrough connected to Gible. If you're looking to make use of this tiny baby monster, you'll need to start this Research Breakthrough quest and follow through on seven individual days - it's not going to be easy.
This year is Pokemon's 25th anniversary, and while The Pokemon Company has indicated that it has big plans for the year, it hasn't really revealed any of them just yet. We might finally get a look into the company's plans for Pokemon's 25th this week, as a new Pokemon Presents presentation has been announced. While The Pokemon Company hasn't told us what to expect from the presentation, we can take a few educated guesses.
The Pokemon Trading Card Game released a new set here at the tail end of February called Shining Fates. Today we're taking a look at a few different boxes and and unpacking a few packs to see what's inside. This isn't your average set - it's relatively small, meaning you've got a better chance to "Catch Em All" than usual. This set contains not only standard rares, and foils, and Pokemon V cards, and VMAX Pokemon, but SHINY versions of each of these sorts of cards.
This week the folks at Niantic revealed a special Kanto-themed Raid Day ready for the tail end of February. This next major Raid Day will "celebrate some fan-favorite Pokemon" on the final day of the most long-lasting and epic series of events in Pokemon GO history draws to a close. This event will take place on Sunday, February 28, 2021.
Although the Pokemon franchise has very passionate and hardcore fans, especially in Pokemon GO, the games themselves are rarely considered to be "hardcore", at least not in the sense of action. Designed for younger audiences from the start, Pokemon's actual turn-based battle system, unlike those in the animated shows, offers more time for thought and planning and not exactly the adrenaline-generating competition that some games have these days. The next Pokemon spin-off, however, will be turning that notion on its head and fans in Canada will be some of the first to experience whatever novelty Pokemon Unite has to offer.
Pokemon is celebrating a big milestone this year, as the franchise is celebrating the 25th anniversary of the release of Pokemon Red and Green in Japan. It’s a big anniversary, to be sure, and it’s prompting not only fans but also Game Freak and The Pokemon Company themselves to take a look back at the history of Pokemon. While the franchise has experienced popularity that’s waxed and waned throughout the years, today Pokemon is as popular as it has ever been, if not more. It also seems to be stuck in the rut of iteration, at least as far as the games are concerned.
Research Tasks for Pokemon GO appear at all levels of difficulty, from nearly the beginning of the game. Now that we're several years out from the game's first release, we've got a need for not only the basics, not only mid-tier and difficult research tasks, but insanely difficult-level research tasks and rewards, too. This week we've got the details on the highest requirements for the most monstrous research tasks in the game!
The Pokemon Company just announced that they'd be bringing Post Malone into the Pokemon universe. Much in the way Epic Games brought several music artists into Fortnite with virtual concerts of several sorts, The Pokemon Company decided it was time to team up with Post Malone. There'll be a virtual concert with Mr. Post on Pokemon Day this year - but that's not the strangest part of this situation.
