Hoenn Pokemon and Weather System Inbound for Pokemon GO

Niantic heard Pokemon GO trainers like Mudkips, so the company is finally putting Mudkip in the game. And its evolutions, the other Hoenn region starters, and 41 other Pokemon. I can’t wait to catch ’em all. Again.

Back in October, trainers got a small taste of the Hoenn region with the Ghost-types Sableye, Duskull, Dusclops, Shuppet, and Banette. Niantic has confirmed we will get another taste with 50 new Pokemon later this week. While the starters are a foregone conclusion, the trailer Niantic released to celebrate these new Pokemon teases Salamence, Shiftry, Aggron, Ludicolo, and Groudon. Add in the silhouette of a Zigzagoon from screenshots on the official website, and that leaves 24 Hoenn region Pokemon unaccounted for, assuming the above Pokemon, their preevolutionary and postevolutionary forms, and the other two Gen III mascots Kyogre and Rayquaza are scheduled to release first. And since 135 Pokemon were introduced in the Gen III games, we have 80 more Pokemon on the way. How much do you want to bet we’ll have to wait to capture the likes of Flygon, Tropius, and Deoxys?

Some people think new Pokemon games only add Pokemon and maps; they don’t realize each generation introduces new features that change core game mechanics, including 2v2 battles that personalities that affect Pokemon stats. Well, Niantic will also add a new system to Pokemon GO alongside the Hoenn Pokemon, something many trainers have asked for: dynamic weather. The player avatar will be soaked by digital rain when it rains in real life; the game world will be covered with snow when snow falls in the real world, and so on. And this weather isn’t just for show; it will impact both Pokemon spawn rates and attack efficacy. Trainers are more likely to find Mudkips splashing about on rainy days, and Charizard’s Fire Blast will be far more devastating when the sun is shining. I’m now curious if Mareeps, Electabuzzes, and other Electric-types will wander about during thunderstorms.

Pokemon GO might have had a very rough start, but trainers and developers have stuck with it and transformed the game into the must-play app. I eagerly await all the new Hoenn Pokemon, dynamic weather system, and any other surprises Niantic has up its sleeves. Maybe cosmetic items trainers can use to customize their Pokemon is in the works; why should Pikachu be the only one to wear a hat?

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.
