Pokemon GO Will Hold an Egg-cellent Equinox Event

The equinox is almost here, and the developers at Niantic plan to celebrate with a special egg-themed Pokemon GO event.

Starting September 22nd, trainers can participate in a limited time equinox event that offers special Pokemon Eggs. These Eggs look like any regular green 2KM Egg and can be found at Pokestops and Gyms, but instead of hatching common Pokemon like Krabby and Geodude, these special Eggs will contain rare Pokemon such as Mareep, Chansey, and Larvitar. Furthermore, the event will grant all trainers double Stardust for catching Pokemon and hatching Eggs, which means players could potentially obtain enough Stardust to choke a Wailord. But, the event doesn’t stop at Eggs and Stardust. Any new Pokemon registered to a Pokedex will give triple XP, and the in-game shop will sell special boxes filled with items designed to help trainers maximize XP and Stardust gains, such as Lucky Eggs, Lure Modules, and a Super Incubator that hatches Eggs at 1.5 times the normal rate. Finally, Entei, Suicune, and Raikou will travel to new locations during the event on September 30th, so trainers who haven’t caught one yet should redouble their efforts.

Trainers have come to expect XP and Stardust boosts from Pokemon GO events, but hiding rare Pokemon in green 2KM Eggs is a welcome addition. Granted, in the past Niantic has changed which Pokemon appeared in specific Eggs, but the devs just removed certain Pokemon from the list (i.e., Bulbasaur, Pidgey, and several other Gen 1 Pokemon) or moved Pokemon up or down one Egg tier (e.g., Porygon moved from the orange 5KM Eggs to the blue 10KM Eggs). Rare Pokemon such as Chansey and Larvitar have always remained in the blue 10KM Egg category because of their strength, which is why the ability to obtain these powerhouses in green 2KM Eggs is such as boon, especially to trainers who have yet to level up, evolve, or even catch these rare Pokemon.

The Pokemon GO equinox event will only last until October 2nd, so trainers who have yet to obtain a Tyranitar or Ampharos might want to get out there and start hatching those Eggs.

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.
