20 Years of 'Pokémon' and Why I'm Still a Fan
20 years ago I was the kid who had no friends. I was the quiet one. I preferred the darkness of my room over being out in public. I preferred sitting under my lamp with a book in my hands, a controller in my lap, and empty coke cans laying around the floor around me in my "shrine". 20 years ago was also the first time I'd ever heard of the series. Before it I found myself surrounded by games such as Mortal Kombat, G.I. Joe, and even Battletoads still.

We're not strangers to the ferocity of Nintendo's ways to keeping leaked copies of games from hitting consoles or handhelds early. Pokémon fans are finding this to be the case when playing leaked copies of Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon for the past week. How has Nintendo found this? It seems that they are finding people who decide to try and access the game via the online portion of it. Users with ROMs are the ones being cut off and this seems to be verified through forum posters on both Reddit, 4chan, and even Gamefaqs.

With #PokémonGo about to wrap up its 'Adventure Week', there's always a question about what you can or can't do in in the game between its rather large-scale events. While its latest monthly event focused on rock-types and boosts for your buddies. This event is the most valued and enjoyable one to date. It's one that gave players a chance to take in the games buddy walking bonus and even a chance to obtain some of the games most rare, but powerful rock-types within the game.

Pokémon has been a franchise that has recycled, rehashed, and continued to make the originals such as Rattatata, Spearow, Kakuna, and the original host of Pokémon creatures readily available as players explore. It's also a series that should debut on the Nintendo NX next year, much as Gale of Darkness did on Nintendo GameCube. This would work quite well as new games keep getting introduced to the franchise.

It's no secret that the Nintendo NX has been shrouded in mystery with what it will be.

Dustin MurphyPublished 7 years ago in GamersWait? 'Metroid's' Samus Aran Is Really A Guy?!
Back in the day, Metroid was my game. I loved jumping into the power suit and taking Samus for a spin. Part of what I loved about Metroid was that it wasn't just a standard side-scroller, there was some actual thought that had to go into the game to succeed.

One of my all time favorite video games comes from the Super Nintendo era. I loved my SNES, I can't even begin to tell you how many hours I logged on my various games. There was one game in specific that I spent countless hours on though.
Matthew BaileyPublished 7 years ago in GamersDay 4 Video Game Challenge: Gotta Play It Again... And Again... And Again
Okay, so it pains me to a point to admit this, but I am a Pokémon junky. I LOVE Pokémon. Yes, I said that in the present tense. I love them now, I have loved them since 1996 with the first games release and I will love them as long as they keep making new games. I may even have to travel a lot more once Pokémon Go is released (Seriously?! I can actually catch Pokémon at home, at work and everywhere I go... Can we say awesome!!)

Pokémon Go is so last year. Early on Wednesday, the Pokémon Company has announced a new iOS and Android app called Pokéland.

Nintendo has gone through an incredible transformation over the last few years. After introducing the #1. Wii back in 2006, fans of the Nintendo legacy thought that it would revolutionize the industry in terms of how gamers play.
