Zarude is interesting I suppose. I'll admit that it's not nearly as appealing as some previous Mythicals like Volcanion and Zeraora were from my viewpoint, but it's not quite as bland as Marshadow at least. I really like its type combination.

 

[Zipper4242]

It would be funny if Zarude had Sandstorm in his movepool lol

I thought about this when I saw the video!

 

[Nutter t.KK]

I have a feeling Zarude will live up to its name.

For some reason, all I can think of is some sick beats and the move Sandstorm.. and was it done with Trumpets?

Hmmm. Team Rocket with that bird Pokemon that likes to swallow stuff huh?

Calling it now: it'll be a team Rocket Pokemon and it's running gag will be swallowing up Pikachu!

In sad news Pokemon Rumble Rush will be terminating services on 22 July 2020. With this Pokémon Go and Pokémon Masters remain the only Pokémon mobile games that are still active (everything else has either terminated services or is no longer receiving active updates). There is still Pokemon Sleep but we have not heard a thing about it since Let’s Go was announced.

Cramorant, and I desperately want this. I know we've got too many Water/Flying-types, but this lovable derp-ball rules!

A lot of Krys fanart on her birthday. I like how a lot of it ranges from gentle to serious, reflecting how her personality changes when in battle.

With the sales data that's come in for Pokémon Sword and Shield, I thought it would be interesting to show this video in which a bar graph showing every Switch game that's sold at least 1 million units expands rightward with time.

As it seems, at 17.37 million, Pokémon Sword and Shield, if taken collectively, is currently the Switch's 5th best-selling game, right below Super Mario Odyssey and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, which are tied at 17.41 million each.

That being said, Animal Crossing: New Horizons is currently the fastest-selling Switch game.

These are the Switch games that have reached the million-seller mark. Pokémon games are in bold:

Read words number 12 to 17.

So hyped about the new pokemon snap sequel. The N64 generation has wanted a sequel to it for years. The first one was amazing, if a bit short.

Its got a stupid name though. The name is gonna be dated within six months of the game being released, especially if they do another one in 20 years time.

Same here, and the gimmick to go to Blockbusters to print your photos was cool ^_^

New Super Mario Bros ?

 

[RileyXY1]

New Pokemon Snap y'all.

I never knew that was a thing. Do you think that one surviving Blockbusters in Oregon would still print it out for me? I wanna know before I buy a plane ticket.

 

[Captain Jigglypuff]

About time Snap got a sequel but I would have liked to have seen it on the 3DS where both the AR and Camera features are used for the game.

 

[Pokemon Power]

The original Pokemon Snap was the first Pokemon game I ever played, so this new title is a must have in my list! So next week, they say they're gonna reveal something big. I have three predictions, from most to least likely.
1: Pokemon Diamond and Pearl remakes, everybody is expecting them, so it's the most likely guess.
2: Let's Go Johto, I think this is just as likely for the latest generation.
3: Let's Go, Pikachu and Eevee Expansion Pass, it would be a good way to bring back the Sevii Islands, and allow Pokemon other than the original 151, Meltan and Melmetal to be sent over from Pokemon Go.

 

[Jadgirl04]

That was a pretty fun video! Im surprised that everyone's been focused on the shelf full of legendaries though and not the pitch black pikachu plush as well as the eevee flanked by espeon & umbreon. Thought Id hear more people yelling coliseum confirmed lol.
I never buy into all that stuff but it is suspicious...
Edit: looking back the eeveelutions could also point towards gen 2 like people have been pointing out, i still wabt to know what that pikachu is about though

It's likely Let's Go Johto, considering all the Gen 2 plushes in back, which are displayed alongside the original Let's Go games.
