Pokemon Day 2025 predictions
Posted on 1 year ago by Ethan Gnau in Features, Switch | 0 comments
With Pokemon Day 2025 approaching, we’ve got some predictions for the big event.
Pokemon Day just around the corner, and every time February 27 comes around there’s always a Pokemon Presents to go with it. Last year’s presentation revealed the existence of Pokemon Legends: Z-A, details on Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Raid events, and updates on The Pokemon Company’s other ongoing games. While the 2025 Pokemon Presents will probably be more of that (minus Scarlet and Violet, most likely), it’s a good time to toss out some predictions before the Pokemon hype cycle begins.
Completing the National Pokedex in 2025 is almost impossible – the toughest Pokemon to catch
Posted on 1 year ago by Ethan Gnau in Features, Switch | 0 comments
We’ve been in the late era of the original Nintendo Switch’s life span for a good while now, which means it’s as good a time as any to work on a Pokedex. At the time of writing, there are a whopping 1,025 existing Pokemon, and the only way to hoard ’em all at once is to put them in Pokemon Home. To be clear, I’d finished my “Living Dex” a long while ago – but to fill the time between Nintendo’s official releases, I decided to redo my entire Living Dex – but with every Pokemon caught in a standard Poke Ball and with my OT (which means traded Pokemon don’t count towards it). If you don’t know this already, a Living Dex is when you have every single Pokemon in the game stored in your boxes. That means the entire evolutionary line, and in my case, every gender difference and form difference for each Pokemon as well.
Working on a Living Dex in 2025 made me realize how absurdly difficult it is to complete this task in 2025. Having completed all of the main series Pokemon games, this was much easier for me than for someone just starting a Living Dex project. But today, I’ll explain what the toughest Pokemon to obtain for Living Dex purposes are and how to go about obtaining them in the easiest way. Surprisingly, there are also a lot of Pokemon that cannot legitimately be caught in a standard Poke Ball along with your OT. We’ll be going over those too.

Fans are always anticipating a Pokemon Presents presentation to go along with Pokemon Day, and it looks like another event is planned for 2025.
X user mattyoukhana_ conducted a Pokemon GO datamine and noticed a particular piece of code that has now appeared. It’s pretty clear that based on what’s stated, we’re on tap for a new Pokemon Presents 2025 broadcast on Pokemon Day. Obviously that isn’t surprising given what’s happened in years past, but we’ll take it regardless.

Pokemon developer Game Freak hit with hack, internal info leaking
Posted on 1 year ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Game Freak, the main developer of Pokemon, appears to have been hit with a significant hack. As a result, source code for various games, behind-the-scenes information, and more has started to leak online.
Thus far we know that source code for Pokemon Heart Gold / Soul Silver and Black 2 / White 2 have surfaced. A few codenames are also popping up, including “Gaia” – which is apparently what Gen 10 is going by internally. Speaking of which, the new gen is apparently being developed for “Ounce”, which supposedly confirms Switch 2’s codename. And for those curious, “Ikkaku” is the codename for Pokemon Legends: Z-A.

Strange moves you never knew Pokemon could learn
Posted on 1 year ago by Ethan Gnau in Features, General Nintendo | 0 comments
In the early days of Pokemon – we’re talking back on Game Boy – many Pokemon suffered from incredibly small movepools. For example, Scyther didn’t have access to a single Flying-type move in Red and Blue despite being a half Flying-type itself. Fortunately, the developers have fixed this issue over the years, and now many Pokemon have huge movepools. That being said, certain move decisions are questionable at best. Some Pokemon have access to certain moves that don’t make a ton of sense thematically, and today we’re going over a big list of some of the strangest movepool additions in the Pokemon series.
