5 Pokemon That Were Badly Translated into Pokemon GO

While Pokemon GO does have a lot of Pokemon, from across all regions of the Pokemon series, there are still some Pokemon that, well, don’t really fit in. Pokemon that change forms or look different or just turn invisible. In today’s article, we’ll look at some Pokemon that don’t work the same way they would in a main series game. Smeargle I’ve always kinda liked the little paintbrush dog. It’s cute and has a cool gimmick, copying moves from other Pokemon. However, the move-copying gimmick in Pokemon GO is very basic. When a Smeargle appears, it only copies the moves… [Continue Reading]

Five Pokemon I Always Catch When I See Them

When I go on my daily walks, I generally play Pokemon GO at the same time. Unfortunately, there aren’t that many Pokemon to catch where I live, so I just have to make do with the daily incense. And, frankly, most of the spawns are pretty damn mediocre. However, there are some Pokemon that I always catch, no matter what. Houndour Houndour is my favourite Pokemon, so this is kinda obvious. Although I have both a shiny Houndour and a 100% Hundoom, I find myself still catching them, because I need the XL Candy to get my Hundoom to level… [Continue Reading]

A Warm Welcome Back to the Sea of Thieves

A while back, I kinda stopped playing Sea of Thieves, or any games in general. All I played was Pokemon GO. When it comes to Sea of Thieves in particular, a single gameplay session can end up being rather long. I just didn’t have the stamina for hours of gaming. But after a day of almost binge-watching my friend Bacxaber’s Sea of Thieves videos, I decided that I needed to get back into playing Sea of Thieves again. So I asked Bacxaber if he was available to play and he said yes. That evening, we got on a sloop, then… [Continue Reading]

I Hate Elite TMs

Elite TMs suck. They are rare and hideously expensive, and you have separate Elite TMs for fast attacks and charge attacks. The only way to reliably get Elite TMs are by buying them in a bundle for Community Days, or reaching rank 20 in PvP. And even then, it still alternates every season, between fast and charge TMs. On top of that, seasons are pretty long, generally 90 days long, so once you reach rank 20, you’re still waiting for three months to claim your reward. Sure, Elite TMs allow you to give a Pokemon any of its move, especially… [Continue Reading]

The Same Volt I Started With

Normally, when an older player gets a new Prime Warframe, their normal version is chucked away. Some will get eaten by the Helminth, but others might just be sold entirely, especially if they have already been subsumed. After all, inventory space is limited, and it’s nicer to keep the new, spangly golden Warframe, rather than keeping the old one. Me though? Even though I have Volt Prime, I still use a normal Volt. Not just any Volt though. I use the same Volt that I picked in Vor’s Prize. I mean, why not? The only real difference is how much… [Continue Reading]

5 Pokemon You Should Ideally Have 6 Of

If you want to be efficient and powerful in raids, then you need a good team to back you up. And if you want to be really efficient, then you want six of the best Pokemon, and ideally leveled up Pokemon as well. Here are some Pokemon that are just too good and useful. Note that I’m talking about normal Pokemon, because you can only have one Mega Pokemon at a time. I’ve also not included shadow Pokemon since they’re automatically better than anything else. If it’s on this list and can be a shadow Pokemon, then you should use… [Continue Reading]

Halo’s Perfect Pistol

“And I looked, and behold a pale horse– And his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him…” Reunion Tour The most surprising thing to come out of the Magnum’s development is how none of its engineers lost an arm wielding one. Adorned in chrome finish, the UNSC’s M6D Pistol is a sledgehammer with night sights. Demanding as it is destructive, the Magnum gives what it gets. Master it, and nothing will stand in your way. Despite firing an Elephant stopping cartridge, Halo’s pistol is laser accurate– And can instantly kill any unshielded opponent. Shot placement… [Continue Reading]

The Problem with Legendary Raids in Pokemon GO

During the Hoenn Tour, we actually had a lot of raiding to do. Both Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre had come out, and they were insanely powerful. In fact, they were so powerful that we needed much bigger teams than normal. While a standard Kyogre generally goes down with 4-6 players, Primal Groudon needed 8 for a comfortable victory, and was only just doable with 6 players, all using Megas. The Primal Legendaries were actually a nice bit of challenge, an excuse to bring out all the best gear, for a big fight. But the difficulty of these raids also… [Continue Reading]

Warframes I Should Play More

Warframe now has over 50 Warframes you can play with. But somehow, I keep on sticking to the same few Warframes. To the point that my time spent as Volt accounts for about a third of my playtime (on both Volt and Volt Prime). However, I could really do with stretching myself a bit and playing some different frames. But what Warframes fill the role I want when playing casually? Volt has always been a jack of all trades, and I want that in other Warframes too. Criteria Volt has got a lot going for him. He can speed through… [Continue Reading]
