OpenCritic Reviews
Pokemon Pokopia is sadly continuing one of the most disappointing traditions of the entire series, giving me no reason to pre-order it.
Pokemon Legends: Z-A tries to make hunting for Legendary Pokemon more exciting, but Sword and Shield's method is still the best in the series.
In my 27 years of playing Pokemon games, I have kept quiet about a feature I hate that is always there and ends up taking the fun away.
It's already a huge year for the Pokemon series with its 30th anniversary on the horizon, but one creature has quietly broken a major record.
A controversy surrounding Pokemon Legends: Z-A is already brewing because a damning cutscene is going viral on social media.
Pokemon Legends: Z-A may be turning a legendary Gen 8 meme into a real part of the game if one leaked new Mega Evolution is real.
Pokemon Gen 10 games find themselves in another alleged leak, this time including details about new critters, starters, and forms, with a huge caveat.
Despite Gigantamax being present in Pokemon GO for nearly a year, many Gigantamax forms are still unavailable in the Pokemon mobile game.
A Pokemon fan artist shares an alternative evolution for the sheep-like critter Wooloo, and explains the basis for the evolution concept's design.
While Pokemon Scarlet and Violet advanced the series in several ways, it skipped over one Gen 8 addition that Gen 10 should include.
Inspired by the Gen 8 creature Applin, a talented Pokemon fan designs a new monster, surprising the community with their originality.
Fans have noticed that Pokemon Legends: Z-A's Jett feels familiar, leading to worries that the game may repeat a storyline from a previous title.
There are many powerful Pokemon in Pokemon Sword & Shield, but some of the Galar Pokemon are a cut above the rest.
A Pokemon fan gives the Water Starter Tototile a new look, as they take its Legends: Z-A appearance and render it in the Sword and Shield style.
A passionate Pokemon cosplayer recreates the appearance of Melony, one of the characters featured in the Sword and Shield games.
Breeding is a core mechanic in the Pokemon series, and Gen 10 can take the feature to new heights with the best systems of Gen 8 and 9.
Nintendo reveals updated sales figures for the 10 best-selling games released for the Switch console.
An ingenious Pokemon player creates a concept for a pre-evolution of the eighth Generation Flying/Water-Type pocket monster Cramorant.
Pokemon Gen 10 has a lot of room to get creative with its starters, which means it should avoid one misstep from Sword and Shield.
Some of these water-type Pokemon will certainly make a splash on any Water-type playthrough of Sword & Shield.
