20 Years of Pokémon

What's up Pokémon fans?

As most of you know, it was Pokémon's 20th anniversary yesterday. To kick off the anniversary, Pokémon is giving away legendary Pokémon video game codes each month. Below is a chart about which Pokémon will be given out each month, and you can get these codes from places like Gamestop.

In addition to the free Pokémon, the Pokémon Company also released the original Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow video games for Nintendo 3DS. The games are pixelated and have 4-bit background music. Pokémon Yellow is also in color. I have attached a video of what the video games will look like on your screen below. 


Lastly, new merch has been released as well. Most of the merch has the exclusive new Pokémon 20th anniversary design. The design is a Pikachu made up of all the starter Pokémon from previous generations. Clothing like hats and shirts have been released and, if you ask me, they are pretty cool.

The Pokémon Company has released a ton of different things to celebrate their 20th anniversary, so if you're interested in finding out more feel free to go to their website. That's all for today, Pokémon fans, and I hope you all have a great day today!

Pokémon Go!

Hello Pokémon fans!

I just came home from school, and I was scrolling through the internet when I found news on the Pokémon Go game. If you don't know what Pokémon Go is, it is an augmented reality game. This basically means that computers are generating images on a user's view on the world. I know it might sound extremely complicated, but I'm sure the Pokémon Company will not disappoint with this new piece of media.

The article I was reading broke down what Pokémon Go is, so I definitely recommend reading it if you want to know more about the device. Andrew Webster, the author of the article, mentioned that the Nintendo is going to work with the Pokémon Company to develop a Blue-tooth enabled device that will light up and vibrate whenever you approach a Pokémon in the real world. This accessory is called the Pokémon Go Plus.

I don't know about you guys, but I have so much hope in the device. I know that there has been a lot of controversy with the Pokémon Go game because it's something that just seems to complicated to create. I think that the Pokémon Company is taking a big leap with the game, but in the end I hope everything goes as planned.

The game is a collaboration with DeNa and Nintendo, and if the game does release, I think it will change the gaming industry forever. I'm really excited for this game and I know Nintendo will do a good job. I'm all for change and I know that Pokémon Go will definitely change people's perspectives on video games.

Well thats my opinion on Pokémon Go, but what's yours? Please feel free to comment your thoughts and onions in the comment section below this post!
