A brand-new Pokémon that hides in coin chests has been discovered: Gimmighoul.

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet will mark the main series debut of the Pokémon, which was initially found earlier this week in Pokémon Go.

Gimmighoul will have two different forms: a chest form and a roving form. Though not much is known about the roaming form, it is thought to be connected to Pokémon Go.

 

Gimmighoul, a Pokémon that followed players around on the map in Pokémon Go over the weekend but couldn’t be caught, suddenly arrived.

Following Greavard, the ghost dog Pokémon, this is the most recent new Pokémon for the new set of games to be announced.

According to a description of the Pokémon that accompanied the new trailer, “Greavard is so affectionate that paying it any attention will make it so happy that it will follow you everywhere you go.” But Greavard will unintentionally and gradually take the life power of anyone in its vicinity.

In a recent Pokémon Scarlet and Violet trailer, many tasks that players might undertake were displayed.

Farigiraf, a Pokémon that evolved from Girafarig, a Pokémon that made its debut in Pokémon Gold and Silver, was also made public in the 14-minute video.
Up to four players can freely explore an open environment when Pokémon Scarlet & Violet is released in November.

Additionally, it has been revealed that Ed Sheeran’s new song, which is inspired by Pokémon, will appear in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.

Nintendo revealed plans to release an exclusive Scarlet & Violet-themed Switch OLED console last month.

Sony Has a “Monopoly” on the High-End Japanese Gaming Market, According to a US Senator

The never-ending saga surrounding Microsoft’s proposed $69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard has a new participant.  Today, Senator Maria Cantwell, a Democrat from the state of Washington, said some things about the subject that were hard to understand.

The senator, whose remarks were reported on by ResetEra, spoke at a Senate finance committee hearing on “the president’s 2023 Trade Policy Plan,” which we are sure was quite interesting.

Senator Cantwell said that she had been told that Sony “controls a monopoly of 98% of the high-end game market” despite the fact that “Japan’s government has allowed Sony to engage in blatant anti-competitive conduct through exclusive deals and payments to game publishers, establishing games that are among the most popular in Japan.”

This 98% statistic is highly deceptive because it ignores PC, Nintendo, and mobile games and instead refers to Sony’s adoption rate over Microsoft in Sony’s native country of Japan, a fact that shouldn’t surprise anyone who is even somewhat familiar with the video game business.

What can we do to rectify these problems and create a level playing field, she said of US Trade Representative Katherine Tai after charging Japan’s Federal Trade Commission with improperly failing to look into this purported “exclusionary conduct”?

It is absurd to claim that Sony has a monopoly on the Japanese video game market, as Luke Plunkett of Kotaku correctly points out, “because Sony doesn’t even have a 98% share of the market for the God of War series, a title they own, as Steam is getting 30% of every sale on PC.”

It goes without saying that we can’t expect elected officials to be experts in every field, but this is a visible step at a time when the ongoing attempt to buy the company is at a very important point.

Is it significant that Microsoft, along with Nintendo, maintains its headquarters in Redmond, Washington—Senator Cantwell’s district—or that Microsoft has given Cantwell more than $500,000 over the past two decades?  Let us leave that up to you.

Pizza Possum is an arcade action game in which you, a possum, attempt to consume as much trash as you can without being discovered.  It is a web-based sequel to the anarchy simulator Untitled Goose Game.It will eventually be available on the PS5.

We couldn’t help but notice that the possum in the title doesn’t look like the cute Australian possum that comes out at night to visit people.On the other hand, it looks like the horrible North American opossums are the ones that will attack trash cans and cause general chaos.Even though we think the second choice was better in terms of theme, we prefer the first one and are happy to explain why.

Your thoughts on Pizza Possum?  Does it possess the necessary mass appeal to successfully skitter along the back fenceline while setting the dog off in the process?
