New Pokémon game confirmed: Watch the trailer now

Pokémon Let’s Go Pikachu and Let’s Go Eevee will be the next Pokémon games for Nintendo Switch. The games are a mix between a Pokémon Yellow sequel and remake and will hit the shelves on November 16. In more exciting news, the games will also add Pokémon Go dynamics to the action.

Players will capture Pokémon just like they do in Pokémon Go. The Pokémon will appear on the map, and then players will have to fight them catch them using their Poke Ball. To throw the Pokémon ball you simply press a button on the joy-con, give it a shake, or you can use this Christmas’ must-have gift, the Poke Ball Plus. A cool feature of the Poke Ball Plus is that players can put a Pokémon they’ve captured on the inside the Poke Ball and then take it with them everywhere they go.

Battles in the new games will be against other coaches. They’ll follow the same turn-based dynamics players will be used to, but there is little else known about whether new features will be added before release.

Players will be able to share Pokémon or fight both locally and online. Also, Pokémon can be transferred between Pokémon Go and Pokémon Let’s Go Pikachu / Eevee, but there’ll be a completely new story. Team Rocket will return, and Mewtwo will be back in his cave.

The 151 Blue / Red / Yellow Pokémon will be available in the game along with the Alola variants and an all-new mysterious Pokémon.

As the titles indicate, the Initial Pokémon will be Pikachu or Eevee. You will not be able to evolve them, but you will be able to capture other wild Pikachu or Eevee and evolve them to Raichu or Jolteon / Vaporeon / Flareon. Pikachu or Eevee will accompany you on your adventure on your cap. You’ll also be able to customize them.

Another great new feature of the game is the local cooperative mode. Another player can join the adventure at any time and help you capture Pokémon and fight other coaches.

Pokémon director, and producer, Junichi Masuda is involved in the development of the game. He clarified that Let’s Go Pikachu / Eevee are not the games that were announced at E3 of 2017. These games will be more classic deliveries in the style of Sun and Moon and will arrive on the Switch in the second half of 2019.

What is Pokémon Let’s Go Pikachu / Let’s Go Eevee?: Information, images and rumors about the Nintendo Switch Pokémon game

“The new Pokémon game will be called Pokémon Let’s Go Pikachu and Pokémon Let’s Go Eevee!” “Nintendo will reveal this Pokémon to Switch next week!” “This is the logo!” “It will be a remake of Pokémon Yellow!” “There will be elements of Pokémon Go!”

The Pokémon community is freaking out over the latest rumors. But where are they coming from? Can you trust any of them? And, by the way, what is really Pokémon Let’s Go? Below, we’ll go over the strongest evidence of this game’s existence and gradually reveal what it is… or at least what it could be.

Registered domains

The strongest evidence came out on May 16, 2018. Fans discovered that web domains for pokemonletsgoeevee.com and pokemonletsgopikachu.com had been registered. The registration took place on May 15, exactly when the rumors exploded.

If you check it out, the owner of the two domain registrations is CSC Corporate Domains, Inc. This same company registered pokemon.com back in the day and also domains for Pokémon Sun and Moon for Nintendo. This is important because it’s not just some fan-troll registering these domains.

“What a coincidence. On the 15th, people start talking about the new Pokémon game and suddenly Nintendo decides to register domains. Why didn’t they register them before?” you may be thinking.

Something similar happened in 2016, when rumors started popping up about Pokémon Sun and Moon. Nintendo registered the domains and literally revealed the games the next day. It’s possible that the Great N delays registration to avoid raising suspicion and, when evitable leaks happen, they register the domains to prevent some clown from taking them.

Does this mean we’ll see an official announcement about Pokémon Let’s Go Pikachu / Eevee soon? Leaker Emily Rogers posted in the ResetERA forums that the reveal could take place next week but she doesn’t rule out Nintendo making the announcement earlier due to leaks.

The first image of the game

Last month, in April, the Twitter account @pixelpar, another specialist in leaks, posted an image of what the new Pokémon game for Nintendo Switch could be.

At first, nobody believed the image. But now it’s taken on new relevance for two reasons. The first is that the trainer has an Eevee over his head. The second reason is that some fans have realized that this photo shows a recreation of Route 21 from Pokémon Blue / Red / Yellow.

Since the image was revealed before the rumors that Eevee would be one of the important Pokémon and before the return to Kanto, the evidence is undeniably authentic and shows the game in action. Now, whether it’s an image from the final version of the game or from its early development is another matter.

Clues from Game Freak

Some of the most important clues were in plain sight this whole time, but we didn’t realize it until now.

Junichi Masuda, the director of Game Freak, the developer behind Pokémon, had been suggesting the content of the next game for days. Check out his latest tweets:

And here we’ve got one of the most recent promotional videos:

Is this the official logo?

Another leak has been the alleged logo of the Pikachu version.

Where did this logo come from? One of the sources that has leaked it is Twitter user @pixelpar. Is he trustworthy? See for yourself below.

Pixelpar had been posting a few strange sketches on Twitter.

Pixelpar ended this series of sketches with this video explaining that the truth was hidden in these sketches:

These sketches also reveal that the game will have elements taken or inspired from Pokémon Go. Sadly, we don’t know any other details.

So, this Twitter user deserves our trust when he suddenly revealed this:

That original evidence wasn’t a joke

The first hard evidence of Pokémon Let’s Go Pikachu / Eevee was taken as a joke on April Fool’s Day.

Specifically, a mysterious message appeared in the shady 4chan forums. We’ve left this until the end because the rest of the evidence, which came out later, helps verify it.

The message said that the Pokémon game for Switch will be a remake of Pokémon Yellow, with two versions (Pikachu and Eevee), Blue and Red playing a role in the story, and both you and your rival as new trainers. It also said that following Pokémon will return, Hidden Machines will be replaced by Pokéride from Alola, Online mode will have a hub for players, there will be integration with Pokémon Go, capturing Pokémon will work like Go, there will be rewards for linking it with Pokémon Go and there will be a new accessory that can be used with both games.

It seems like a joke, but as you can see, all the evidence (the image of Lapras, the Blue and Red images combined with Pikachu and Eevee…) has ended up being true.

Origins of Pokémon Let’s Go

At the start of 2017, the portal Eurogamer shocked Pokémon fans by revealing that Nintendo would launch a game called Pokémon Stars for Switch. This would be an HD port of Pokémon Sun and Moon. With this port, Nintendo’s plan was that Switch would have one game from each of its three-star franchises in its first year: Mario, Zelda and Pokémon.

But in a Pokémon Direct, Nintendo announced two pseudo-expansions of Pokémon Sun and Moon for Nintendo 3DS: Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. Where the heck was Stars?

Eurogamer has taken advantage of the excitement of latest rumors to clarify that, according to their sources, Nintendo decided to turn Pokémon Stars, a “simple” port, into something more ambitious: a remake/sequel of Pokémon Yellow.

In theory, since Game Freak already had models of many Pokémon in HD thanks to the Pokémon Stars development, the transition shouldn’t have been too painful. However, it’s possible that Eurogamer has come up with this explanation to try to clean up their bad image after the failed leak.

Now, patience… though you won’t need much

Now we just have to wait for Nintendo to make a move. Luckily, you won’t have to wait long. All the leakers have insisted that the reveal of the new Pokémon game is close. In theory, it could be before the end of the month. Soon enough!

Oh by the way… Pikachu or Eevee? Which one would you choose?

7 tips to avoid dying right away in Fortnite Battle Royale

Fortnite: Battle Royale has become the phenomenon of 2018. During 2017, its big rival (PUBG) won the popularity contest. This year, Fortnite is beating all the records. A few weeks ago, Elrubius and other YouTubers got an audience of more than 10 million viewers (among all the channels) while playing the game.

If you want to join in, here you’ll find seven tips to avoid dying right away on Fortnite.

Choose your landing spot well

This is a basic tip that any expert player will tell you: choose your landing spot well. It’s key that you do this before launching yourself from the Battle Bus, since there could be areas that you can sweep through better than others. Also, and this is key, you shouldn’t forget that there are 99 other players trying to kill you, so watch where they land so you’re not right next to them.

Grab a gun

The second “tip” is also basic: grab a gun. Many users go directly to collect supplies, but our advice is that you start going into buildings to find a gun, rifle, machine gun, etc. It doesn’t matter what kind you get, the important thing is that you have one at the start so you can blow up your enemies.

Build

You made a good landing, scooped up a gun to defend yourself, and now it’s time to construct buildings. Yes, to do this, you need to collect supplies first. Choose the pickaxe and start destroying everything you can. The more materials you have in your inventory, the better. You don’t want to start building a wall and running out of materials midway through.

Learn to build well

Here’s where we get into the advanced stuff. It’s one thing to know how to build a wall (the previous “tip”). It’s another thing to know when to do it. The best players of Fortnite have shown that they can build elements with frightening speed and in extreme situations. Thanks to these walls, ramps, etc. they are better protected (and covered) against enemies. If you know how to use these materials well, we can assure you’ll be in the top 20 of almost all games.

Watch your surroundings

You could camp out and wait for the enemy. Or you could run for your life. Somewhere in the middle is best, so keep watching your surroundings, but never stop what you’re doing. For example, a good tip is to take advantage of the existing buildings, since they offer materials for building and additional protection.

Silence

If it’s important to watch your surroundings, remember that all players are doing this. Open fire only when you’re in an extreme situation or when you think the setting is in your favor. It’s usually a common error to see an enemy, shoot without thinking, and later say, “He was very far away, I should have stayed quiet.” Likewise, weapons aren’t the only thing that make noise: building elements does, too. Oh and don’t forget that a player can see you building from a distance.

Don’t forget the storm

Our final tip is the most ridiculous, but perhaps the most important: watch the storm. If you’re within the exclusion area, after a while you know you could die in a matter of seconds. Though it’s hard to believe, it’s unusual to have a game where players don’t die under the cloud.
