You'll either love or hate the S.O.S. feature and Team Skull
Barring some kind of cataclysmic failing, everything we've seen so far from Sun and Moon indicates that they'll be good Pokémon titles. Is that enough to appeal to the droves of millennials who walked miles this summer in the hope of finding a wild Charma...
Abstract: Although the Nintendo Switch is fully portable, there's still a huge appeal to the DS handheld consoles. A key difference is the games available as many are exclusive so here we bring you the best 3DS games for 2017. If you thought the Nintendo Switch ha...
This generation's villainous organisation is Team Skull, nu-metal rejects that speak in awful rhymes and with no-one really taking them seriously. They're desperate for you to be scared, but they come off as a joke, but it's a self-aware one and their mel...
For many, a new generation of Pokémon is an instant buy. And that's for good reason: These games have, for 20 years, been unbelievably consistent in their greatness. You can sink hundreds of hours into these, as fans have with every past generation. In th...

Abstract: This is a voyage of discovery. Alola's tropical island chain is the series' most creative setting yet, introducing exotic new Pokemon and altering the forms of existing ones. It's a land where roaming Pokemon start fights by darting out from caves and div...
Abstract: Admittedly, it's a bit ridiculous this is only being incorporated into the series now, but this newfound sense of momentum is a perfect fit for Sun and Moon's dynamic camera angles, which swoop around you on each and every route. We saw a bit of this in X...
Pokémon Sun and Moon may take its sweet time getting you hooked on its battle monster formula, but once they're in they're never coming back out again. Even after twenty years of Pokémon games, Game Freak still has a few surprises and tricks up their slee...
