Over the course of the franchise’s history,\u00a0the Pokemon<\/em><\/a>\u00a0series has evolved and branched out numerous times. Most can’t even keep track of all the spin-off titles that have released in the wake of\u00a0Pokemon Red<\/em> and\u00a0Green<\/em><\/a>‘s release in 1996. For fans of Pocket Monsters, this is surely a good problem to have. Especially since this has led to TV shows, Manga, and various other media as well.<\/p>\n

With increasing intensity, hype for unreleased games has made news of any data from them a commodity. When something particularly novel or unexpected surfaces,\u00a0fans can almost begin foaming at the mouth for more. With the generation of such interest, some announcements made by various production companies for the games, anime, and other branches can leave lasting impacts on both new\u00a0appreciators and longtime trainers.<\/p>\n

Very early in the year, trainers everywhere were able to begin voting for which Pocket Monsters were their favorites. When polling was concluded, Greninja, the lithe Water pokemon<\/a>, was named the winner and given the title of ‘Pokemon of the Year<\/a>‘. It was rightly deserved, with them beating the closest competitors by nearly 40’000 votes. Lucario, Mimikyu, and Charizard were the\u00a0closest runners-up.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

At the end of February, a previously unknown pokemon was discovered; a mythical one. Zarude, the Rogue Monkey Pokemon, was unveiled to the world. This Dark and Grass-type<\/a>\u00a0monster is apparently very aggressive and is openly hostile to any strangers who approach their home deep in the jungle. If one is unlucky enough to go toe-to-toe with this beast, be prepared for attacks involving sharp claws and trees being swung around like baseball bats.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX<\/em><\/a>\u00a0is the first time that a\u00a0Mystery Dungeon<\/em><\/a> game has received a remake. Games in the main series have done so more, but a remake of a title from another beloved Pokemon game series gives many fans hope for the future.\u00a0Rescue Team DX<\/em> is a remake of\u00a0Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team<\/em> and contains the same charming gameplay but with updated graphics and all the benefits that come with being released on the\u00a0Nintendo Switch<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

Some of this content was new and powerful attacks<\/a>. The first are\u00a0a Flying attack called Dual Wing and an Ice attack called Triple Axel. Both of these are multiple-hit moves that strike foes repeatedly. The next two are Grassy Glide and the Psychic move Expanding Force. These two are also damage-dealing attacks but are more situational in that they require specific types of terrain to be active to unleash their full effects. Lastly is Burning Jealousy, a fire move that hurts and burns all other Pokemon in play.<\/p>\n
