After a wait of over twenty years, we’re finally getting a new Pokemon Snap, called, appropriately, “New Pokemon Snap.” The New Pokémon Snap game for the Nintendo Switch system is based on its namesake, which was first […]
It’s a huge day for Poke-fans as Pokemon Sword and Shield are officially released onto Nintendo Switch, but if you travel back a few gens, today also marks the release of a tribute album for the Nintendo DS’s Diamond and Pearl games. Time And Space was created by Braxton Burks, a game composer, arranger, and […]
We’ve covered a lot of Materia Collective’s video game music albums around here, but this is one of the more interesting: Metal Trainer, an album that renders the soundtrack of Pokemon Red and Blue in guitar-shredding metal.

Last week, a Nintendo Direct occurred and showed off Pokemon titles for both Nintendo Switch and 3DS. This confused many though, as it stated that a truly “new” Pokemon title wasn’t coming to the Switch yet.

Pokemon GO nails the feeling of being a Pokemon trainer in many ways. You have to walk around to get Pokemon, you have a partner Pokemon travel with you, there are other trainers in the world, etc. However, the one major way it’s not like a regular Pokemon game or like the Pokemon anime is […]
One of the highlights of the past couple Games Done Quick marathons is the showcase of ACE tricks.
