Pokémon’s next anime season gets a new look and a new sidekick

Pokémon’s next anime season gets a new look and a new sidekick

by Megan













After the latest episode of the Pokémon anime aired in Japan, a trailer for the upcoming season was shown, showing off new designs and hints about where the series is going.

Ash has a new look, as expected, and the art style has shifted again, to be more of a blend of the serious style used in Pokémon the Series: XY and the cartoony style we saw in Pokémon the Series: Sun and Moon.

Ash’s new companion is a boy named Gou, whose dream is to find Mew and catch many Pokémon. Though the new season will likely have a bunch of Pokémon from the Galar region, the region that Pokémon Sword and Shield is set in, it seems like Ash and Gou will spend the season traveling all over the place, based on the background shown in the video.

The background shows a lot of iconic monuments from different regions: the Indigo Plateau from Kanto, the Bell Tower from Johto, Mt. Chimney from Hoenn, Mt. Coronet from Sinnoh, the Driftveil Drawbridge from Unova, and the Prism Tower from Kalos. Alola is represented by palm trees, and the upcoming Galar region is shown with a Big Ben-esque building. Eighth-gen Pokémon like Yamper and legendaries Zacian and Zamazenta also appear.

Not very much has been revealed about the new season, which makes sense — Pokémon Sword and Shield doesn’t come out until November, and The Pokémon Company likely does not want to spoil any big reveals.

Blog games review

  Shadowrun: Hong Kong  is a turn-based tactical role-playing video game that was released in 2015. It is the third licensed instalment of the  Shadowrun  video game series and is, in our opinion, one of the best titles to be released in the franchise. It received almost unanimous critical acclaim and is one of the best cyberpunk games to ever be released. Read on for our  Shadowrun: Hong Kong  review . Shadowrun: Hong Kong  is a turn-based tactical role-playing game that includes a single player campaign and an editor that allows players to create their own levels and share them with other  Shadowrun  players. The  Shadowrun  series is set in a near-future universe where cyberpunk themes are prevalent, and the fictional universe is abounding with elements of conspiracy, crime, and sci-fi fantasy.

A guerra original do console

  Sonic está atualmente encontrando sucesso nos cinemas, e Mario está prestes a tentar as coisas novamente com um projeto Illumination. Com esses personagens de grande nome indo para o cinema, faz você se perguntar se poderíamos ver algum tipo de colaboração cinematográfica estilo Smash Bros. Se isso acontecesse, o diretor do Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Jeff Fowler, adoraria enfrentá-lo. Em entrevista ao Comicbook.com, Fowler se abriu sobre seu interesse em tal projeto. "Nada me faria mais feliz do que apenas jogar todos os personagens em um battle royale e fazer uma grande coisa Smash Bros. Isso provavelmente exigiria algum trabalho dos advogados antes que isso pudesse acontecer. Colocando Mario e Sonic no ringue, quero dizer que todos estariam meio que morrendo por isso, certo? Isso é clássico." A partir de agora, não há tais planos para um filme de Smash Bros. mas você nunca sabe o que o futuro reserva. Universos cinematográficos são toda a raiva agora, um Nintendo certamente po...

Destroy All Humans! 2 Reprobed Review

  The remake of Destroy All Humans! 2 Reprobed looks fantastic but is ultimately dragged down by the limitations of its console past. Cryptosporidium and his alien cohorts first touched down on Earth back in 2005 when THQ and Pandemic Studios created an alternative world to ours with  Destroy All Humans! , a Sci-Fi story filled with foreign spies and alien conflict. Pandemic did it again in 2006 with  Destroy All Humans! 2 , carrying the aliens' ridiculous story further into the gaming mainstream during the days of PS2 and Xbox dominance. With  Destroy All Humans! 2 Reprobed , the second remake by THQ Nordic and Black Forest Games in the  Destroy All Humans!  series, Crypto and friends have a chance to bring the boom to the new generation of gamers, but the game doesn't always meet those expectations. The game is curbed from reaching glory by the constraints placed upon it being an older title, but maintains its outrageous satirical humor all while looking ...
