Vaporeon, Flareon, Jolteon getting the Pokemon Build-A-Bear treatment
Posted on 2 weeks ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
The latest Pokemon have been revealed for the Build-A-Bear line, which will have Vaporeon, Flareon, and Jolteon getting the plush treatment.
Typically we’re used to seeing these roll out one at a time, but given the original Eevee evolutions, it makes sense to have all three up at once. Fans can make their own plush in select Workshops or shop the online bundle for its 5-in-1 sound and sleeper. All three come with a cape.

The most surprising mispronounced Pokemon names
Posted on 4 weeks ago by Ethan Gnau in Features, General Nintendo | 0 comments
Today, we’re going over a list that includes more commonly-mispronounced Pokemon names. Some of them are particularly surprising!
During the 2025 Pokemon World Championships event, the official Pokemon Twitter account put out some commonly-mispronounced Pokemon names. And it makes sense why people pronounce some of them wrong: the games don’t have any voice acting, so for the most part players don’t hear the names of creatures spoken out loud unless someone brings them up in conversation. Even then, it’s very easy to accidentally pronounce them wrong or put emphasis on the wrong syllable.
Best Pokemon games of all time, ranked from best to worst
Posted on 1 month ago by Ethan Gnau in 3DS, DS, Features, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Today, we’re going over the best Pokemon games of all time – more specifically, the top 10 main series Pokemon games. The list has been updated for March 2026 since its original publish date in 2024 in celebration of the series’ 30th anniversary. Spin-offs don’t count for this particular list, but there are definitely plenty of those that are more than worth playing in the modern day. New Pokemon Snap and Pokemon Mystery Dungeon are some commonly-acknowledged highlights.
The Pokemon series is, in a way, difficult to write about. At present, the series isn’t quite in a lull, per se, but it’s also most certainly not at its peak. Developing games is difficult, and for a never-ending media franchise like Pokemon, deadlines can be tough to meet. Over the past few years, titles like Sword and Shield and especially Scarlet and Violet have drawn criticism for several reasons. Though the design quality of individual Pokemon has remained strong, things like the graphics, performance, and postgame content have become somewhat inconsistent. This leads us to ask: what do you think are the best Pokemon games of all time? We’ve made our own list, so be sure to let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

It’s officially Pokemon Day 2026, and with the Pokemon Presents presentation happening in a few hours, we’ve got the live stream for you. The fun starts at 6 AM PT / 9 AM ET / 2 PM in the UK / 3 PM in Europe.
It was already announced that Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen are returning on Nintendo Switch today in celebration of Pokemon’s 30th anniversary. However, this should be just the tip of the iceberg for news. We’ll likely get another update on Pokemon Champions, for one thing. And while no one can say for sure, some fans believe that Pokemon Gen 10 will be revealed – that’d certainly be a good way to end the presentation.
Below is where you can watch the Pokemon Day 2026 Pokemon Presents live stream:

These Pokemon look better as 2D sprites and could use a 3D upgrade
Posted on 2 months ago by Ethan Gnau in 3DS, Features | 0 comments
At the time of writing, it’s been well over ten years since every single Pokemon received its first main series 3D model. As the first 3D game in the series, Pokemon X and Y fully converted every single one of its creatures to three dimensions, and some of them translated better than others. So today, we’re looking at Pokemon who looked better as 2D sprites, and how you could fix their 3D models to give them more personality and charm. In many cases, it’s actually the animations that need to be improved – the base 3D models are generally fine, with a few small exceptions here and there.
