They say big things come in small packages. That is especially true this month for “Pokémon Sun” and “Moon,” as the registration for the Tiny Tourney has started.

This new online competition for June brings the spotlight to pokémon equal or less than 1 meter tall. Unlike in the past, trainers can now pick members of their team from the entire National Pokédex. This is a big change from previous competitions, where the only allowed pokémon were Alola variants.

Given the huge difference from the past tournaments, players are back to the drawing board in creating their winning roster. This means the usual lineup is out of the question but makes things interesting.

Pokémon to expect in the Tiny Tourney

Fortunately, trainers are given suggested pokémon to raise for the said PvP battle. Powerful choices include the Ultra Beast Kartana, the Lake Trio Azelf, Mesprit and Uxie, and Belly Drum Azumarill to name a few. Favorites from previous generations such as Rotom, Ferrothorn, and Shedinja are also mentioned. One can bet that these pokémon will make an appearance in the upcoming tournament, thus a counter strategy is crucial.

Another popular choice to anticipate is the tanky crippler, Pachirisu. This unassuming pokémon brought Se Jun Park into the limelight during the 2014 Pokémon VGC. Fans of the unique moveset are sure to replicate the tiny mouse’s success in the Tiny Tourney. Below is a video showing just how tenacious it can be in a doubles match.

Considering the vast number of pokémon, there are a lot of clever combinations to choose from. Lists from websites like PokemonDB and Bulbapedia have pokémon grouped according to height. This can help in creating one’s own team as well as predicting opposing players’ rosters.

Get Mega Stones as Participation Gift

Players who fight in at least three matches will get three new mega stones – namely Galladite, Gardevoirite, and Lopunnite. Fans of Gallade, Gardevoir and Lopunny’s mega-evolved forms will find these worthy prizes for joining the fight.

The registration starts today through June 22. The competition proper ensues from June 23 to June 25.

ReFantazio Takes a Different Approach to Romance, Setting Itself Apart from the Persona Games

Atlus’ highly anticipated RPG, Metaphor: ReFantazio, appears to incorporate familiar systems reminiscent of the developer’s acclaimed Persona series. The game features turn-based battles that heavily rely on exploiting enemy weaknesses. Additionally, players have the ability to summon warrior spirits during combat. However, the most significant aspect of this game, which will be discussed in this article, is the bonding system. Through this system, players can spend time with important characters and gain deeper insights into their personalities and stories.

In contrast to the Persona games, the bonding system ends at that point. Unfortunately, players will be unable to pursue romantic relationships with their beloved waifus, which may come as a disappointment to those who have developed strong feelings for Hulkenberg, the party’s charismatic red-haired elven knight.

According to Siliconera, the absence of romance came up during a recent question and answer session. Atlus emphasized the continued opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with your allies while also introducing additional narratives through substories. In addition, familiarizing yourself with the supporting characters will grant you access to new archetypes, which serve as the game’s character classes.

In the Persona games, romance is not obligatory; rather, it serves as a means to customize your playthrough. However, it is quite unexpected that Metaphor has chosen not to pursue such a venture, considering the significant amount of discussion it typically generates!

Were you anticipating any romantic elements in Metaphor? If you’re not satisfied with your pre-order, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.

It appears that many

are eagerly anticipating the launch of the highly anticipated PS5 exclusive, Stellar Blade. Shift Up, the developer, has shared a lengthy video showcasing the “secrets” found in the physical box of the game for PS5. From what we can gather, these secrets include a reversible cover/dust jacket and a download code for cosmetic items.

We must clarify that while we do appreciate the variant cover, it may be more appealing than the game’s standard art. However, it is not something we would typically classify as a “secret.”. However, what’s interesting is that Shift Up has confirmed through the comments section that this will be the case in all regions. Additionally, the visually striking action RPG will remain uncensored worldwide.

It’s refreshing to witness a developer going the extra mile for physical collectors, and it’s evident that the developer is determined to leave a favorable mark in the console realm. Stellar Blade is set to make its highly anticipated debut this Friday, April 26th, exclusively on the PS5.
