I'm positive both Bulbasaur and Pikachu have also already been officially named in some entomology *something* as well

Godamnit that answer! *Chef's kiss*

I nearly cried in the movie theatre when those Pidgeots started to soar in the countryside passing by Bouffalants and you can't take that from me Kotaku, damnit!

Why would there be any? I use my switch pro controller to play games on Steam and I'm not even hacking anything

Definitely my type of priority.

They just released a "Project Piplup" in Japan and I think that basically proves that point: basically any Pokémon could be an entire brand (and often they are)

Oh no guys, oh no! We've left Zack go too far into Pokémon fandom! Retreat, before he finds all that goddamn unsettling furry porn, I SAID RETREAT!

I’ve been playing GO since launch and I’m mostly fine with the egg system. I agree it’s definitely not the most predatory out there, but come on, Kotaku can’t seriously be complaining about more transparency. That’s honestly, like, the bare minimum. Just the fact that I don’t have to Google which eggs are in rotation…

This is the first time I'm ever hearing this word and I have no idea what it means or what it's context is (just to be clear, I'm a foreigner). This is definitely not an N-word situation. He knew what he meant.

Heck it looks worse than Let’s Go Pikachu/Eevee, which were also remakes of even older square-tiled games. I never played the Sinnoh games and I thought I would play the remakes, but nope, hard pass. I actually decided to take Link’s Awakening out of my backlog and that game looks GORGEOUS, the comparison with Gen4…

Pikachu loves ketchup because when he repeatedly says it’s name (“Pikachu, Pikachu”), Japanese people hear the pronunciation of ketchup in the middle (“-kachu, Pi-”).

I can’t believe the day has finally come: me and Ash, agreeing on a fiiiiiine man! And this one doesn’t even have scales (at least I hope not)!

Yeah because Galaxy of Heroes and Pinball or whatever were all masterpieces.... EA also did shitty mobile stuff with the license

The fact that I have a full national dex in Pokémon Home and basically forgot Tynamo existed is all there needs to be said about it.... I basically skipped gens 3-5 so there are a lot of Pokémon I'm still not super familiar with and don't really care about (case in point)

Not to be an ass, but "I don't see mutants running around in this show" for a show that has right now four mutants from the comics as main characters is very ironic. Yes I know they were all retconned but that was just to spite Fox and they'll probably walk back on it 

#JusticeForUtica she won this ball

...Switch soon?

I wish I could’ve enjoyed this article but it’s written in nonsensical measures taken out of a random British king’s bodily parts some centuries ago instead of a worldwide measure system that actually makes sense.

“At this point, it really does seem like there are two different Pokemon universes. The one in the show and the Hell dimension that exists in the metafiction of the Pokedex.”

IT’S THE BEST TIME OF THE YEAR except that this year it isn’t of course. FESTIVALE SHOULD BE A MONTH LONG EVENT, COME ON NINTENDO! At this time in a decent year I’d have already rubbed my ass dancing in at least three different city pavements each weekend, Festivale deserves the long build-up and then the full outburst…
