While I may berate it and poke fun at its failures, the Pokémon franchise is one of the most respectable and influential works in gaming. Nobody can deny that this is one of the biggest series created by Nintendo. Perhaps it is one of the biggest gaming brands there is, and certainly one of Nintendo’s most important properties.

The craze begun in 1996 when Pokémon Red & Blue were released on the Game Boy. From that point, the love child of Nintendo and Game Freak grew up so fast and became a gargantuan franchise.

With 7 different generations of Pokémon, a handful of spin-offs including the Mystery Dungeon and Ranger series and millions and millions of fans willing to go at any length for their favorite game.

The Pokémon Company has revealed the fact that they broke a new sales record. According to the numbers provided by the company, the Pokémon franchise has sold over 300 million units worldwide. These sales are distributed among 76 games released between 1996 and 2017.

Even as the years passed, people are still crazed by the Pokémon Fever. For example, we can look at the success of Pokémon Ultra Sun / Ultra Moon in Japan, which debuted as one of the most sold titles there.

There’s also the fact that people are still excited to play Pokémon GO and it’s still a very popular app. And speaking of titles that don’t follow the main series, we can talk about the movies like Pokémon: I Choose You! Or the upcoming release of the “I still can’t believe this is happening” game Detective Pikachu.

It’s way too obvious to be questioned at this point, the Pokémon franchise will stay here for a long time. And gamers will continue to experience an RPG series unlike any other seen in the industry.

I always wanted to be a journalist who listens. The Voice of the Unspoken and someone heavily involved in the gaming community. From playing as a leader of a competitive multi-branch team to organizing tournaments for the competitive scene to being involved in a lot of gaming communities. I want to keep moving forward as a journalist.

While Sony may not classify Gran Turismo 7 as a live-service game, the team at Polyphony Digital certainly approaches it with a similar mindset. The game continues to impress with every new update, and although v1.44 may be smaller compared to previous versions, it still manages to enhance the already extensive content of this simulation racer.

The update, now available worldwide, introduces three new cars: the Audi R8 Coupé V10 Plus ’16, the Lamborghini Urus ’18, and the Toyota GT-One (TS020) ’99. Furthermore, it introduces three fresh events to World Circuits, an extra menu to conquer in the GT Café single-player campaign, and a collection of livery stickers inspired by the upcoming Highspeed Étoile anime, set to debut next week in Japan.

This author has consistently praised the realistic portrayal of tennis in TopSpin 4. After more than a decade, we are thrilled to witness the release of TopSpin 2K25, which expands upon the success of its renowned predecessor. This gameplay video provides a comprehensive overview of the features discussed in our recent preview while also incorporating relevant footage to enhance understanding.

The series’ swing system sets it apart from arcade-style games like Virtua Tennis, as it requires players to charge up their shots in a different way. In order to succeed, timing is crucial, and fortunately, a new meter above your player will assist you in achieving that. Surfaces have their own distinct characteristics, such as clay, where you’ll experience a noticeable amount of sliding.

The game ensures that every player has a distinct set of animations, adding a touch of individuality to each competitor. The courts, found in all Grand Slams, possess a remarkable amount of individuality and charm. It is mentioned in the video that with each in-game season, players can expect a plethora of additional content, such as animation packs. This indicates that there will be plenty to anticipate even after the game’s initial release.
