Personally, as a gamer, I’ve had a semi love/hate relationship with Pokémon over the years. I was an early adopter to the series having Pokémon Blue when it came out and did really enjoy the game. But we haven’t really had anything quite like that until then. Obviously, since then it has blown up to a worldwide phenomenon with people camped out for cards, buying games left and right, storming Build-A-Bear to get plushies…its been a crazy ride. I’ve gone…

With just a few more days until Pokemon Snap officially launches for the Nintendo Switch, and I for one am very excited. The original Pokemon Snap was one of my most played games on the N64, it was just at the right time, a relaxing game with tons of replay value. Keep in mind due to system limitations the game really hasn't aged well as most games of that era didn't. But my wife (girlfriend) at the time and I spent countless hours perfecting our craft. Yes, we did even take our save data to blockbuster and printed the stickers they used to do.

During today’s Pokemon Direct, we got a few more details on New Pokemon Snap for the Nintendo Switch due on April 30th. The original title came out in 1999 for the Nintendo 64 and my wife (girlfriend) at the time and I spent countless hours running through Pokemon Island to get the best scores possible and fill up our Pokedex. Because the ’90s was also super gimmicky we even went to Blockbuster Video to print out some stickers of our…

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX is another in a long line of Nintendo games to feature unnecessarily long titles. But long story short this is a remake of 2005 games on the Gameboy Advance: Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team and Red Rescue Team. While visually the game is VERY different than its predecessor, featuring a hand drawn and painted art style, mega evolution, auto mode and such. The mechanics of the game go largely unchanged. But I am…
