If there is a character in pop culture media that you love, there is a good chance Funko Pop has made a figurine of them, complete with those signature solid black eyes. When it comes to Nintendo, however, the selection of characters is surprisingly slim. That is why it is good news that Funko has decided to add another figure to its slowly growing Pokemon collection.

Squirtle joins Pikachu, Bulbasaur, and Charmander as a Funko Pop figure, which means that all the starters from Pokemon Red, Pokemon Blue, and Pokemon Yellow will finally be available. There is no word on a release date for the Funko Pop Squirtle, just that it will be coming soon. The other Funko Pop Pokemon figures, however, are available now.

While Funko Pop continues focusing on the early generations of the Pokemon series, Nintendo and Game Freak are hard at work developing generation eight. There have been multiple trailers released so far and new information is pouring in every week. If you aren't up to date on the latest, we have laid out everything we know so far about Pokemon Sword  and Shield.  This handy guide gives the skinny on things like the new region, some of the new Pokemon, and release details as well. There's even information on Dynamaxing and Gigantamaxing Pokemon, a very big new feature being introduced.

Over on mobile devices, Pokemon GO is being invaded by the infamous Team Rocket. A Shadow Pokemon update is about to be introduced, bringing shadow versions of Pokemon that can be caught and eventually converted to their normal forms. The update is steadily being rolled out and isn't live yet, but when it is, players can expect to see Shadow Pokemon roaming the wild.
