The Pokémon Trading Card Game enters the Sword and Shield era today with the release of the first expansion based on the Switch game. The Sword & Shield expansion introduces Pokémon V, special pocket monsters with the ability to evolve into Pokémon VMAX, including Dynamax and Gigantamax Pokémon.  

A box-office smash when it released in Japan last year, CGI movie Pokémon: Mewtwo Strikes Back - Evolution debuts worldwide exclusively on Netflix on February 27. It’s a remake of the very first Pokémon movie from back in 1998, redone in computer graphics because they are all fancy.

Previously released on Google Play, mobile pocket monster bumping game Pokémon Rumble Rush is now available on iTunes. The free-to-play game is pretty basic but is definitely a way to interact with Pokémon on your iPad or iPhone. 

Tencent is teaming up with The Pokémon Company to make a new Pokémon game with Tencent’s TiMi Studio Group developing. As Kotaku previously reported, Tencent got the rights to distribute the Nintendo Switch in China. There were no details about what kind of game it will be or on which platform it will be released.
