Shiny Zapdos Accidentally Released in Pokémon Go

With the introduction of Legendary Pokémon in Niantic’s Pokémon Go comes Zapdos, one of the three Legendary birds from the first generation. However, players have noticed that the color scheme is actually matched with the Shiny model rather than the normal one.

Pokémon Go Hub is reporting ‘the Zapdos model currently available in game is actually a shiny Zapdos model, not the regular one’. They cite a Reddit thread that shows in-game models of the Legendary birds alongside their Shiny counterparts as well as pictures of players’ captured Zapdos in Pokémon Go. There is no question that the Zapdos players have acquired more closely resembles the Shiny model.

However, Pokémon Go Hub continues that ‘unfortunately, this doesn’t imply shiny Zapdos is available. It seems to be a problem completely on [Niantic’s] end, as the models are mistakenly swapped – the game is downloading the shiny, instead of the normal, variant’.

Questions are being asked how Niantic will respond to this error, but the most likely outcome is that Niantic will fix whatever’s causing the models to be swapped and players will lose their Shiny Zapdos; the color will revert to the standard design for Zapdos. This hasn’t stopped some being optimistic that they may be able to keep their Shiny version, however.

Currently, Japanese players can participate in the ‘Pikachu Outbreak’ event in Yokohama and acquire Shiny versions of Pikachu, leading some to think the palette swap for Zapdos may be a mistake caused by this introduction. Whether or not players worldwide can capture the new Shiny Pikachu is also unclear, although many believe more news will become available at the end of the Japanese event; the same day Zapdos is due to stop spawning, August 15th.

Unfortunately, there is so far no official response to the news, leaving many players puzzled as to what might happen to their hard-earned Legendary Pokémon. As Niantic is already losing credibility for some of the players, all we can do is hope for a quick clarification.

British resident and sucker for over-analysis. Games are the future of Literature and I'll gladly argue that fact for hours.

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.
