Pokemon Legends: Z-A’s ninth season of ranked battles has begun, and it completely bans Legendary and Mythical Pokemon. Order has been restored!

Whether you are or aren’t going for Consummate Gamer, today we’re going over all of the top Pokemon you can use on your team to get some wins.

Why Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen are still great 20 years later
Posted on 2 weeks ago by Ethan Gnau in Features, GBA, Switch eShop | 0 comments
Whether you love or hate the modern Pokemon era, it’s safe to agree that Nintendo Switch has a huge selection of games in the series to pick from. You’ve got Pokemon Scarlet and Violet for open-world gameplay, Sword and Shield for a more classic and experimental experience, Legends Arceus for a whole new take on the franchise, and Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl if you want to be bored out of your mind. But now, for the first time in several years, Pokemon has made two of its legacy titles available – and available on Nintendo Switch for the first time ever. By this point, many of us are growing tired of Kanto – we have full-price Kanto remakes on the system already, even – so the thought of playing FireRed and LeafGreen again wasn’t hugely exciting to me, even as a huge Pokemon fan. 35 hours later, though, and it’s clear to me that these games really are the definitive versions of Kanto. Whether you’ve played these games before and are coming back for more, or if you’ve never really gotten into Pokemon and want a good place to start, FireRed and LeafGreen are great options.

Nintendo and The Pokemon Company are now offering a new version 2.0.2 update for Pokemon Legends: Z-A. The patch can be downloaded on Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch.
We’ll get this out of the way: there doesn’t seem to be much here. The team has addressed some issues, but hasn’t gone into detail about what was tackled.
In any case, the patch notes are as follows:

New Pokemon Winds and Waves beta screenshot leaked
Posted on 2 weeks ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Screenshots, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Another leaked beta screenshot has surfaced for Pokemon Winds and Pokemon Waves. The image specifically comes from a build made a couple of years ago.
Obviously the final game won’t look like what’s in the screenshot. If nothing else, it’s an interesting peek behind the curtain. What’s interesting is that the screenshot was taken during a point when the project was still targeting Nintendo Switch instead of Switch 2.
Below is the latest beta screenshot leak for Pokemon Winds and Waves:

The best Pokemon in Legends Z-A’s Season 8 Ranked Battles
Posted on 3 weeks ago by Ethan Gnau in Guides, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
It feels like we say this every time a new season comes around, but Pokemon Legends: Z-A’s ranked battle season 8 is probably the worst one yet – but for real this time. Not necessarily because a small group of Pokemon overpowers the rest (that is the case here to an extent), but because your choices are extremely limited. Not only are you restricted to using Pokemon that got Mega Evolutions in Pokemon Legends: Z-A (which means no Mega Evolutions from X, Y, Omega Ruby, or Alpha Sapphire), but they cannot be entered unless they’re holding their Mega Stone. This means you can’t run Focus Sash at all, which means if you’re going for the Consummate Gamer bonus, you have no protection against one-hit KO moves. At any rate, given how small the selection of Pokemon is here, it makes sense that there are a few that tower above the others.

Pokemon Pokopia is selling out around the world
Posted on 3 weeks ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch 2 | 0 comments
While we don’t have exact numbers just yet, it looks like Pokemon Pokopia is a smash hit on Nintendo Switch 2 with the game selling out worldwide.
Let’s take a look at the U.S. first. Many retailers do not currently have the game available in stock – and that’s despite the fact that it came on a controversial game-key card. Best Buy, Walmart, and Target are not taking orders at this time. Amazon technically has the game in stock, but has strangely increased the price to $80 – perhaps to take advantage of the hype right now.

Safari Zone guide for Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen
Posted on 1 month ago by Ethan Gnau in Features, GBA, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
With Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen coming to Nintendo Switch, we have a dedicated guide for the Safari Zone.
The Safari Zone is its own unique brand of evil. It’s home to Chansey, Kangaskhan, and Tauros, who cannot be found via any other means. Scyther appears here in FireRed, as well as Pinsir in LeafGreen, though they can also be purchased as game corner prizes in Celadon City. There’s also Dratini and Dragonair, which can be fished up with the Super Rod. All of these Pokemon are difficult to catch – if you don’t know this already, the Safari Zone prevents you from weakening wild Pokemon with paralysis or sleep, which would normally make catching them much easier. Wild Pokemon also love to run away – for instance, I spent well over 6 hours catching all of these rare Pokemon just today. Here’s everything we learned about the best ways to catch rare Pokemon in the Safari Zone.
