The Pokemon Company Reveals Tricks and Treats for Pokemon Fans

October has only just begun, but The Pokemon Company already has a lot of plans for this, the creepiest and spook-tacular of all months. So grab your Silph Scope and stock up on Pokeballs, because this month will be filled with more Ghost-types than you shake a Max Repel-doused stick at.

The announcement started off strong with some important Pokemon GO news. No, the announcement didn’t say much, but it included some extremely important words: “Plenty of good stuff is coming to the game late this October, and we can’t wait to get out and about to see what sort of excitement we can scare up while catching new Pokemon to fill out our Pokedex.” Judging by this sentence, trainers should expect another Halloween event that increases the spawn rates of Ghost-types, but everyone has probably already caught a Gastly, Haunter, Gengar, and Misdreavus by now, so what would count as new? Well, last month, I wrote an article covering a rumor that Pokemon GO‘s upcoming Halloween event might feature Gen III Ghost (and Dark) types such as Banette, Dusclops, and Sableye. Since the announcement basically admitted new Pokemon will be released during the event, this rumor is all but confirmed.

Pokemon GO isn’t the only game set to receive a spooky update this month, as the legendary Marshadow will also be available for any gamer who owns Pokemon Sun or Moon. Starting October 9th, trainers can visit a local GameStop store to obtain a code for this unique level 50 Fighting/Ghost-type, complete with a balanced moveset of Fighting attacks and Ghost attacks, the Technician ability, and a special Marshadium Z Z-Crystal. Trainers who want this paranormal pugilist will have to hurry, though, as it will only be available until October 23rd.

Not all of the Halloween festivities will take place in the games, however. Trainers looking for a scare can head over to The Pokemon Channel and watch a collection of horror-themed anime episodes, including Ash’s first encounter with Ghost-types all the way back in Season 1. Trainers can also buy various plushes of Pokemon dressed up in spooky costumes at The Pokemon Center, and the site has also updated its collection of jack-o’-lantern stencils with some new faces.

While Halloween might be several weeks away, I’m already excited for this year’s All Hallows’ Eve. Maybe this year I’ll make a Mimikyu jack-o’-lantern instead of a Gengar one.

All you have to do to get my attention is talk about video games, technology, anime, and/or Dungeons & Dragons - also people in spandex fighting rubber suited monsters.

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.
