Gamer Limit writes, "Even after ten years, the Pokémon series has consistently sold hundreds of thousands of copies, even though Magikarp still stinks, and a level 7 Zubat will still manage to attack you every 2 steps in any dungeon in the game. Yet the Pokémon community is alive and well. Competitive Pokémon battling has been thriving since the games first debuted. Those who participate take Pokémon out of the casual arena and unexpectedly transform the experience into the hard-core."
The future could be filled with revived Nintendo DS classics. Hopefully it happens!
My kid yesterday proclaimed he liked the DS more than the Switch because the controls work on the go. Then I asked if he would rather have Monster Hunter Stories 2 on Steam or Switch and he chose Steam. So proud!
With the Pokémon 25th Anniversary rumour mill in full spin, fans firmly believe Pokémon Diamond and Pearl remakes are a guarantee. It makes sense really, with Sinnoh next in line for a regional reboot, and it’s been six years since the last remakes, the Hoenn-based Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
Alex S. from Link Cable Gaming writes: " Pokémon’s release kicked off a worldwide phenomenon that is still going strong to this day. In fact, some will say it’s never been a better time to try to ‘catch ’em all’. But is it? That’s the question we’re aiming to answer in this inaugural article of Pokémon week here at Link Cable Gaming – which generation of Pocket Monsters is truly the master of them all?"
I forget how long Pokemon has been going... wow, I was really into it 10 years ago - that's a weird thought!
Great article, nice to see some really well thought-out journalism on gaming!
