To understand it, you have to take into consideration a weird quirk of the games: have you ever…

The Sims, In The Style of Pokémon

YouTuber Hat-Loving Gamer has imagined and animated a life simulation game based in the Pokémon world. So, yes, think The Sims meets Pocket Monsters. It has aesthetics of old Game Boy Pokémon games. Too bad we didn’t have this back then! A game with unhappy Pokémon, glitchy tiles and that cool custom UI would have…

Edward Snowden’s favorite Pokemon is none other than the glitch-tastic Missigno. An appropriate choice, if you know what the mysterious Missingno is.

Tiny Pokémon Fit on your Fingertip

Very cute but probably very easy to lose. Better not drop them. Or take them near couches. These polymer clay sculptures were created by Ruby Huang, AKA Lonelysouthpaw. She likes to make clay fanart, basically, sometimes selling the results through Etsy. Apart from these Pokémon, which she recently started uploading on Instagram under the #pinkymon…

Well, this is pretty damn incredible. What you’re looking at above is a screenshot of an ambitious project undertaken by RedditorMagib1, who is using command blocks in Minecraft to rebuild Pokemon Red in its entirety.

Pokémon Make For Badass Mecha

Because Lugia, leader of the Legendary Birds, who can tear cliffs down with one wave of its wings, apparently isn’t terrifying enough by itself. So now here it is in the form of a flying death robot.

Lucha Libre Pikachu Looks Badass In The Pokémon Fighting Game

Why have one Pikachu in your Pokémon game when you can have two? I was ready to react to “Masked Pikachu” with “Fuck Pikachu,” but after watching its trailer, I’ve decided that actually, this version of the yellow mouse is pretty awesome. Masked Pikachu makes more sense to include than normal Pikachu, who otherwise looks…

Fan Game Will Let You Bring Horrible Pokémon Fusions To Life

Mashing together unlikely pairings results in hilarious Pokémon—that’s exactly why Alex Onsager’s fusion website, which lets people create Frankenstein Pokémon with a few easy clicks, blew up the internet a while back.

The Square folks don’t…

Pokémon Go Could Be Amazing (And Maybe A Bit Dangerous)

The words “alternate reality game” were the last thing some hardcore Pokémon fans wanted to hear last night. I understand why. It’s a spin-off. It’s on mobile. You can’t play from the comfort of your own home. And yet! Pokémon Go could be the shot in the arm that the monster-collecting series needs. The key…

I Wish There Were Pokémon Toys Like This When I Was A Kid

So Pokémon wasn’t a thing in North America until I was 25—the point still stands. Younger me could have learned a lot from Battle Moves Pikachu. How to dodge, for instance. I recently got a chance to play with a pair of Pokémon toys from Tomy that should either be in stores now or in…
