RE: Pokémon (Series) - Moonface - Jul 21st, 2025
Some comments I saw gave really good ideas of what could've been done. The keyboard could've used Unown for all the letters because it just works, and the headset could've featured Pikachu or Eevee ears on it.

Is....is The Pokémon Company okay?
The video title made me think someone forgot to replace the placeholder title for the video until I watched it and realized it was intentional. It doesn't announce anything, it just seems to be a somewhat unhinged video about Malamar just for the heck of it?
RE: Pokémon (Series) - Mr EliteL - Sep 6th, 2025
I didn't know Malamar was a....I'd say popular but that doesn't seem like the word, for a video out of nowhere. Quite weird, but I guess that's what Malamar is.

It an announcement about a series the Pokémon series will be stating called 'My friend Malamar'. sauce

What I find funny is how most people online think the ditto humans are basically nightmare fuel. I do however like the idea of the game, just want to see more in the future of how it will play.

What I find hilarious is how a lot of people hate that this game has a key card for it. Nothing physical. Idk I think digital works just as well. 🤷♂️

there are some people that i know that are looking forward to this. personally, i don't think the gameplay is going to be my cup of tea necessarily, but im curious as to the gameplay of it and i'm up for watching others play to see how it is.

Pokémon FireRed and Pokémon LeafGreen Coming to Nintendo Switch
As part of Pokémon's 30th anniversary, the Pokémon FireRed Version and Pokémon LeafGreen Version games are coming to Nintendo Switch! These classic remakes of Pokémon Red and Pokémon Green will be available to download exclusively from Nintendo eShop after the conclusion of the Pokémon Presents beginning Friday, February 27, 2026, at 6:00 a.m. PST.
I always felt putting the older Pokémon games onto Nintendo Switch was an obvious thing to do that Nintendo just wouldn't ever actually do. However, I did always expect them to charge for the games as standalone titles rather than putting them into their NSO Libraries because it would just be leaving so much money on the table otherwise.
@azalea: EuroGamer put out a good video covering how Pokopia is in detail, particularly with the gameplay loop. They likened it to playing a mixture of Animal Crossing, Minecraft, and (unexpectedly) Viva Pinata, so how you and others feel on those games might give a clearer picture of if it's definitely to your tastes or not.
RE: Pokémon (Series) | FireRed/LeafGreen for Switch - Dragon Lord - Feb 22nd, 2026
$20 a piece for these is absolutely diabolical. They should have been $20 as a dual-pack at most.
RE: Pokémon (Series) | FireRed/LeafGreen for Switch - ShiraNoMai - Feb 22nd, 2026
I also thought it'd be a dual pack at that price. It's half the original MSRP!
I naively thought they'd just add this to the NSO GBA line-up, and *maybe* charge a small Pokémon Premium™️to it. Nah. Just full release ports. Which, on one hand, is a better outcome than arbitrarily owning it (through subscription). Eh.
My OG copy is still in great shape, and even played it relatively recently to do a Pokémon Fiesta challenge and it was perfectly in tact. I should invest in some save batteries at some point (or legally dump the ROM from the cart).
