Our first trailers for the next Pokémon game have arrived - sort of. This game isn't another core game like many were expecting. It's called "Let's Go, Pikachu" or "Let's Go, Eevee". I will go over my general thoughts on the new games based on the trailers that have been released. You can view the English trailer here and the Japanese trailer here. I will probably do a more specific list of my likes/dislikes later once more information is available. Well, let's jump into it!!
First of all, the game is clearly a sequel or tie-in to the Pokémon Go app. In fact, it reminds me of the older console games like Pokémon Coliseum or XD Gale of Darkness but with Pokémon Go mechanics. This is fine and is clearly meant to hold us over until the next core game is released next year. The next thing you notice is the graphic style which is... not the best. After playing Pokémon Ultra Moon, these graphics seem a step down from what we've come to expect. I don't mind the cartoony look but it does remind me of Pokémon ORAS. That is not a good thing since the biggest letdown of the remake was the horrible pop-up book style of the graphics. I mean, Pokémon X and Y were beautiful even if the characters looked a bit cartoony. However, ORAS just looked even more cartoony.... if not worse. The characters were fine but the over world was just... not, but I digress.
The main protagonists look good and I love the female's appearance. The starter choice of Pikachu and Eevee is great since both are adorable. This leads me to my next point: this is clearly a Pokémon Yellow remake. For those that don't know, after Red and Blue, Pokémon Yellow came out with a major difference: Pikachu was your starter and he could follow you around. It was still Kanto and the journey was the same, but having Pikachu follow you around was an amazing idea. I think the idea of remaking Pokémon Yellow is pretty brilliant. The nostalgia will get the attention of the older Pokémon players and the new players will get to experience Kanto.
The other big changes seen are the return of Pokémon riding (without the awkward looking riding gear) and the return of Pokémon following you. I have to admit, both of these look really cool. I wonder if you can ride any big Pokémon or just specific ones. Pikachu and Eevee seem to ride on the trainer's shoulder or head through most of the journey instead of following. This is fine and kind of adorable. Speaking of adorable, nothing is cuter than a Pokémon in a costume which is another new feature for this game. I wonder how many choices the players will have for costume options.
Anyway, like I said earlier, there are some clear tie-ins to Pokémon Go with the ability to connect between the app and the Switch game. However, my favorite part is the new Pokéball Plus controller. Not only can you use it to control your character in-game, but you can also transfer any of your caught Pokémon into it. Of course, this only means that if you interact with the device, it lights up and you hear the Pokémon's cry but still that is an amazing idea. I just hope it comes with a mute button or one bump of your pocket and you'll startle people with Pikachu's cries. Speaking of surprises, there was also a new Pokémon teased at the end of the trailers. I don't know what it could be, but I'll work on a theory for a later post.
Overall, I am not sure how to feel about this game. I am disappointed that the next core game won't be until next year but at the same time, I don't mind. USUM were rushed and felt incomplete so taking extra time gives me hope that the games will be much better. Some things about the newly revealed games looks pretty cool and almost makes me want to buy it - then I realized that would include buying a Switch and I think I'll just hold off on that for now. Other than that, the hype is back and I can't wait to see what all this game has in store. What do you think of these new games? Leave a comment below telling me what you think. Would you pick Pikachu or Eevee? Which Pokémon would you like to see following you? I look forward to reading your comments. That's all for this week and I hope you enjoyed the post. Have a good weekend and as always, keep on gaming!!!

May 2018 Yu-Gi-Oh! Forbidden List Review
A new forbidden list has been released and as usual, there are a few surprises. We'll work our way through the list by limit as we did before. You can see this list for yourself here. Let's begin with the forbidden cards.
The following cards are now forbidden: Astrograph Sorcerer,
Master Peace the True Dracoslaying King,
Phoenixian Cluster Amaryllis,
Supreme King Dragon Starving Venom,
Ancient Fairy Dragon,
Rank-Up-Magic Argent Chaos Force,
and That Grass Looks Greener.
I understand all of these since they can all be abused in one way or another. However, Phoenixian Cluster and Ancient Fairy Dragon are rather old cards, as Yu-Gi-Oh! cards go, so I don't see why they would be suddenly more dangerous than before. Either way, not a bad a start for this list.
The following cards are now limited: Dinomight Knight the True Dracofighter,
Gem-Knight Master Diamond,
and Chain Strike.
I can see why these are all limited. They can be abused, but they're not as good as any of the cards on the forbidden list. It seems a fair and understandable choice. Let's move on to semi-limited cards.
The following cards are now semi-limited: Apoqliphort Towers and Ring of Destruction.
Each of these has perks and drawbacks. I don't see how either of these would be worth limiting since it is only practical to use 1 of each, if at all, in a deck.
Now the cards no longer limited in any way: Atlantean Dragoons,
Grandsoil the Elemental Lord,
Ignis Heat, the True Dracowarrior,
Mathematician,
Neo-Spacian Grand Mole,
and Compulsory Evacuation Device.
First of all, I don't know why Grandsoil was limited to begin with since it has such specific summoning requirements. Ignis Heat seems no less dangerous than the rest of the True Dracos that were hit this time around. Mathematician is a decent card and should be used if you need cards in your graveyard. The ones that I find most exciting are the last two. Both of these cards are pretty good despite some drawbacks. I would definitely use some of each of the two cards if I could. Being able to return a card to the hand would be very useful in a tight spot. Either way, this month's forbidden list has been interesting and fair. I hope all future choices follow this pattern.
That's it for this week. I hope you enjoyed this post and will follow me so you don't miss out on future posts. What did you think of the May 2018 Yu-Gi-Oh! forbidden list? Leave a comment below with your thoughts. I look forward to reading them. As always, have a good weekend and keep on gaming!!! :)

Top 3 New Evolutions for Eevee
I would like to preface this post with an apology for my extended hiatus from the blog. I was working on a project that took up all of my free time. Now that's over and hopefully this will never happen again. I thank you all for your patience and continued support. Okay, let's get started!!
Oh tis the season of leaks for the new Pokémon games. Everyone has been eagerly awaiting for any news of the upcoming Pokémon games for the Switch. The latest leaks seem to suggest that Pikachu and Eevee will be the focus of the next games. Either way, it does give me hope that Eevee will get a new evolution. I have created sprites for 3 options that I think would be awesome new additions to the Eevee line. Let's take a look at my Top 3 New Evolutions for Eevee!
3) Insecteon
Oh tis the season of leaks for the new Pokémon games. Everyone has been eagerly awaiting for any news of the upcoming Pokémon games for the Switch. The latest leaks seem to suggest that Pikachu and Eevee will be the focus of the next games. Either way, it does give me hope that Eevee will get a new evolution. I have created sprites for 3 options that I think would be awesome new additions to the Eevee line. Let's take a look at my Top 3 New Evolutions for Eevee!
3) Insecteon
For this sprite, I started with an Umbreon sprite as my base. I took parts of other existing Pokémon (Beedrill and Butterfree) and created what I think a bug-type evolution would look like. My favorite parts of this are the butterfly wings and the eyes. I apologize for the roughness of the antennae but they were challenging due to their size. Anyway, I think Insecteon would be the perfect foil to Espeon and Sylveon since it would know some bug and poison moves like Silver Wind and Sludge Bomb. I would also give it the ability Swarm or Compound Eyes.
2) Glideon
This is probably my best work out of all 3 of these. I took an Espeon and modified to a sleek and beautiful flying-type evolution using the wings of a Pidgeotto. I cannot believe how good this one came out and I really do hope we get a flying-type evolution like this. It could have access to Steel Wing so it could take on Sylveon. I think it would also have the ability Gale Wings or Keen Eye. I'm not sure if it would be plausible for it to be able to learn Fly but seeing the new trend for riding Pokémon, I don't see that being a problem.
1) Wispeon
This is another favorite. I wanted to create a ghost-type evolution but I didn't want to go purple or black. I was inspired by the Will-o-wisps from Brave and I really loved the appearance of shiny Gastly and Spiritomb. I used Flareon for my base and I used some new techniques to achieve that ghostly, wispy look. The only issue was the tail. Flareon's tail was too big but I could not get the tail exactly how I wanted it. Still, Wispeon would be an awesome Pokémon to have. I would give this Pokémon the ability Cursed Body or Levitate. And of course, it would be able to use the move Will-O-Wisp. I love this design and hope that if we do ever get a ghost-type evolution to Eevee, that it will be this awesome.
Well, that does it for this week. What's do you think the next evolution will be? Leave a comment below telling me your hopes and ideas. I look forward to seeing what you think. Next week, I will discuss the latest changes to the Yu-Gi-Oh TCG banlist. Until then, have a good week and enjoy the posts!!

New Yu-Gi-Oh! Forbidden/Limited List Has Big Changes
It's that time of the week again and this time, we're discussing Yu-Gi-Oh! The newest Forbidden/Limited list is out and boy, is it interesting. Let's start with the newest additions to the Forbidden list:
Blackwing - Gofu the Vague Shadow
Dandylion
Double Iris Magician
Level Eater
Maxx "C"
Performapal Skullcrobat Joker
I feel like many of these cards don't need to be forbidden. Most of them have low ATK and DEF plus some cost to offset their abilities. At any rate, any duelists using these cards will have to edit their decks pronto.
Now for the limited list:
Apoqliphort Towers
Grinder Golem
Performage Damage Juggler
Firewall Dragon
Monster Reborn
Spyral Resort
Solemn Judgment
First of all, I am glad Monster Reborn is no longer forbidden. Solemn Judgment is a surprise but I never understood why it was forbidden since it cost half of your LP just to stop the summon or activation of 1 card. That always felt far too risky to be of any use to me. Anyway, the other cards all make sense on this list with the exception of 1: Grinder Golem. I don't understand why this monster was ever limited. You summon it to your opponent's side of the field which means you give your opponent a 3000 ATK, LV 8 beater in exchange for 2 0 ATK and DEF tokens in attack position that you cannot tribute until your next turn. You can Xyz summon something but I cannot think of any LV 1 Xyz monsters that could take down the Grinder Golem. It doesn't really seem like it should be on any limited list due to its summoning requirements and the fact that it ends up on your opponent's side of the field. I really don't get it but that's okay.
The semi-limited list doesn't change so we won't go into that. All that remains is the cards that are no longer limited in any way:
Artifact Moralltach
Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning
Card Trooper
Thunder King Rai-Oh
Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier
Brain Control
El Shaddoll Fusion
Future Fusion
Mind Control
Preparation of Rites
Saqlifice
Bottomless Trap Hole
Ceasefire
Ojama Trio
Torrential Tribute
The biggest surprises here are Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning and Torrential Tribute. I remember a time when BLS was always on the forbidden list. It's dragon counterpart, Chaos Emperor Dragon, Envoy of the End is STILL forbidden. So why is it now unlimited?? At any rate, it is nice to see it unlimited now along with Torrential Tribute, Brain Control, Ceasefire, and Bottomless Trap Hole. Decks are going to be a lot more interesting this year.
Well, that's it for this Forbidden/Limited list review. I hope you enjoyed this post and will follow me so you don't miss out on future posts. Leave a comment down below telling me your thoughts on this new list. Do you agree/disagree with the changes? Are there cards that should have been limited or not limited at all?? I'd love to know what you think. Have a great weekend and as always, keep on gaming!!

Top 5 Pokemon Types I Would Like to See in Gen 8
I'm back! I am sorry this is so late but I was working on an assignment all day. Anyway, keeping in the theme of Gen 8 speculation, I have decided this week to talk about the top 5 Pokémon types that I would like to see in Gen 8. Here we go!
5. Ghost/Dragon
Can you just imagine what this would look like? I imagine a cross between a Druddigon and a Boo from Super Mario. It could also be a dragon utilizing the Ghost type color palette of blues and purples. Either way, I hope this typing makes it into Gen 8. It would be scary cool!
4. Ice/Bug
I admit it, I just want a white butterfly or moth Pokémon. Pokémon Uranium has a gorgeous ice moth that is just phenomenal. I would be so happy if this came true. I'd even take a white beetle Pokémon. This typing is just too (pardon the pun) cool to pass up!
3. Electric/Poison
I think this typing is one that we need to see. I can imagine an electric anemone or perhaps a creature that resulted from the disposal of waste near an electric plant. There is potential here and I would really like to see what Game Freak can come up with.
2. Dark/Fairy
I like it when types that are considered opposites are put together. Volcanion's Fire/Water typing is a good example of this and the design is great. I would love to see a Dark/Fairy in the future and hope that it does happen.
1. Fire/Ice
I just think that this would be the ultimate opposite combo. Heat and cold together would be very interesting to see. I can't think of a situation or habitat where this would work but I still think it would be a cool idea.
Well, that's it for this week. I hope you enjoyed this post and will follow me so you don't miss out on future posts. Leave a comment below telling me which types you want to see in Gen 8. Have a great weekend and as always, keep on gaming!!!

Top 5 Features for Pokemon Gen 8
I'm back, everyone! I again apologize because I didn't post last week. We lost our phone line again around Wed afternoon and didn't get it back until almost the next evening. I was hesitant to post since it felt like our phone (and Internet) could go at any time. It's been a week without incident so I return to the blog! This week we will continue our discussion about Gen 8. This time, I want to go over the top 5 features that I want to see in the Gen 8 Pokémon Game!! Let's go!
5. Rival Naming
There's something about being able to name your rival - it just feels so right! I have missed that feature since Gen 6 and 7 didn't use it. I want to be able to name my rival again.
4. Gyms
I'm sorry but I am not a fan of trials. I prefer gyms and hope they make a return in Gen 8.
3. Mega Evolution
Mega Evolution showed a lot of potential to help average Pokémon become great. So, my question is, why drop that so suddenly for Z-moves? Z-moves are okay but I prefer Mega Evolution since we actually see our Pokémon change form (albeit briefly). I just want to see it come back so some other Pokémon could get a Mega Evolution (cough) Butterfree (cough)!
2. Protagonist Choices Varying in More Than Gender
This is an idea that I have had for a while. Pokémon Crystal (Gen 2) gave us the ability to play as either gender. Since then, the choice hasn't really changed - especially in age. Not all Pokémon players are children so why have all protagonists be children? It would be so cool if you could choose between not only different genders but also different ages. There are already many trainer types varying in gender and age why not protagonists? The story itself could even be different based on the age you select. This would be amazing!!
1. Self Trading
I admit, I loathe the inclusion of Pokémon that only evolve through trading. If you don't have friends with the games, then you will never be able to complete the Pokédex. While wonder trading sometimes helps (if you're lucky) and maybe you can find what you need in the GTS (unless they ask for a legendary or a genderless Pokémon of a certain gender - yes, that can happen), it still is so frustrating!! Just make a way - an NPC, a special kiosk in the Pokémon center, whichever way you want so that you can trade for a Pokémon with yourself. That would be such a great feature to have! Fan games already use an item to represent trading to make evolution easier so why can't the official games do the same?
Well, there you have it. Hopefully, I will be able to keep to my schedule from now on and I thank you in advance for your patience. Leave a comment below telling me what features you want to see in Gen 8! Have a great weekend and as always, keep on gaming!!!

Top 10 Locations for Pokemon Gen 8
I just want to say something first: I am so sorry for not posting for 2 weeks. First of all, our phone line (and internet) went out just before Christmas and didn't come back until after Christmas due to repairs to a phone line taking so long. Second of all, it went out again before that week was over! I guess the repair job wasn't good enough? Anyway, while it did return before last Saturday, I was afraid to start writing this post since I had no guarantees that the internet wouldn't suddenly go out again. That being said, I have returned and for my first post of this year, I will tackle something that I have been pondering ever since the last games were announced: where will the Gen 8 Pokémon region be?? I thought about this for a long time and now I think I have a list of places that I would like to see the next generation games take place in. So, without further ado, here are my top 10 locations for Pokémon Gen 8.
10. Sinnoh
Since the next remakes are clearly Diamond and Pearl, it is a safe bet that the next games could take place in Sinnoh. While that excites me, my disappointment in the Hoenn remakes makes me apprehensive about how the final product will look. That's why this option is so low on the list.
9. Kanto
The Kanto region is the region that started it all so it makes sense to have the first game on the Switch be set in the first region. There were even numerous Kanto references in the Sun and Moon games. This has potential but I feel the game could go for something a bit more exciting.
8. Unova
It's no secret that there were also some interesting Unova references in Sun and Moon. I would love to see an updated B/W game. However, like the other options I've already mentioned it wouldn't be very exciting or have new Pokémon. Still, it would be cool to find out why Grimsley left Unova.
7. Mexico
I think the colorful culture of Mexico would provide a great backdrop to the next Pokémon games. I can imagine some very interesting Pokémon being created for this region. Just don't have an unbearably cheerful character obsessing over tacos...please? One Hau is enough.
6. Amazon Rainforest
This location was purely for Pokémon. The rainforest is one of the most diverse ecosystems with an abundance of creatures. This location would probably boast the largest Pokédex of all the regions. This could include more variations of older regional favorites. Vileplume, Vivillon, and Butterfree in particular could have some awesome Rainforest forms.
5. Russia
Another colorful culture that would make a great backdrop to the next generation of games would be Russia. I would love to see a Pokémon center with an onion-shaped dome like those seen in Russian Architecture.
4. Greece
A Mediterranean themed region would be an amazing idea. I also love Ancient Greek architecture and mythology. We could see some very interesting Pokémon based on the mythical creatures of Ancient Greece like Centaurs and Satyrs.
3. Australia
If you're a fan of Pokémon fan games then you have probably heard of Pokémon Spectrum. This fan game's region is based on Australia and I love that idea. Mostly, I just want a koala Pokémon. I mean other than Komala which was very disappointing. Also, a platypus Pokémon would be adorable.
2. Scandinavia
I admit it, I just want a region entirely in the snow. The fan game known as Pokémon Sage starts out this way but after a few towns the climate gets warmer. This is why I want to see an entire region in snow. Between caves, frozen lakes, and of course, snow, it would be a much different journey than we're used to. Also, I love the look of a snow-covered village. Imagine how beautiful that would look in the updated graphics.
1. Egypt
I love all things Ancient Egypt and I would love a region entirely in a desert. Perhaps Maractus could finally get that evolution? Anyway, imagine trekking through sandstorms to investigate ruins. I actually liked this in Hoenn and Unova so I would like to see what it would be like in the updated graphics. The potential here is huge.
And that's all for this week. Once again I apologize for not posting due to things that were really out of my control. This new year offers new hope and potential and I really want to try more posting ideas like my own Fakemon, or more regional variants if we get a new region announced?? I don't know, but I will figure it out. Perhaps I can start reviewing fan games that I have played before?? At any rate, I hope you liked this post. Follow me so you won't miss out on future posts. Also, leave a comment below telling me where you would like to see the next games take place. Is it based on a country or just an environment that you would like to see?? I can't wait to find out. Until next time, stay warm, have a great new year, and as always, keep on gaming!!
10. Sinnoh
Since the next remakes are clearly Diamond and Pearl, it is a safe bet that the next games could take place in Sinnoh. While that excites me, my disappointment in the Hoenn remakes makes me apprehensive about how the final product will look. That's why this option is so low on the list.
9. Kanto
The Kanto region is the region that started it all so it makes sense to have the first game on the Switch be set in the first region. There were even numerous Kanto references in the Sun and Moon games. This has potential but I feel the game could go for something a bit more exciting.

7. Mexico
I think the colorful culture of Mexico would provide a great backdrop to the next Pokémon games. I can imagine some very interesting Pokémon being created for this region. Just don't have an unbearably cheerful character obsessing over tacos...please? One Hau is enough.
6. Amazon Rainforest
This location was purely for Pokémon. The rainforest is one of the most diverse ecosystems with an abundance of creatures. This location would probably boast the largest Pokédex of all the regions. This could include more variations of older regional favorites. Vileplume, Vivillon, and Butterfree in particular could have some awesome Rainforest forms.
5. Russia
Another colorful culture that would make a great backdrop to the next generation of games would be Russia. I would love to see a Pokémon center with an onion-shaped dome like those seen in Russian Architecture.
4. Greece
A Mediterranean themed region would be an amazing idea. I also love Ancient Greek architecture and mythology. We could see some very interesting Pokémon based on the mythical creatures of Ancient Greece like Centaurs and Satyrs.
3. Australia
If you're a fan of Pokémon fan games then you have probably heard of Pokémon Spectrum. This fan game's region is based on Australia and I love that idea. Mostly, I just want a koala Pokémon. I mean other than Komala which was very disappointing. Also, a platypus Pokémon would be adorable.
2. Scandinavia
I admit it, I just want a region entirely in the snow. The fan game known as Pokémon Sage starts out this way but after a few towns the climate gets warmer. This is why I want to see an entire region in snow. Between caves, frozen lakes, and of course, snow, it would be a much different journey than we're used to. Also, I love the look of a snow-covered village. Imagine how beautiful that would look in the updated graphics.
1. Egypt
I love all things Ancient Egypt and I would love a region entirely in a desert. Perhaps Maractus could finally get that evolution? Anyway, imagine trekking through sandstorms to investigate ruins. I actually liked this in Hoenn and Unova so I would like to see what it would be like in the updated graphics. The potential here is huge.
And that's all for this week. Once again I apologize for not posting due to things that were really out of my control. This new year offers new hope and potential and I really want to try more posting ideas like my own Fakemon, or more regional variants if we get a new region announced?? I don't know, but I will figure it out. Perhaps I can start reviewing fan games that I have played before?? At any rate, I hope you liked this post. Follow me so you won't miss out on future posts. Also, leave a comment below telling me where you would like to see the next games take place. Is it based on a country or just an environment that you would like to see?? I can't wait to find out. Until next time, stay warm, have a great new year, and as always, keep on gaming!!
