Review: Pokémon Legends: Arceus (Nintendo Switch)

February 2, 2022
Game Freak/JRPG/monster collection RPG/Nintendo/Nintendo Switch/Pokemon/Reviews/Switch Review

Review by Matt S. Pokémon Legends: Arceus is a really, really good looking game. I’m going to put that up-front because it has been the discourse that has plagued this game from day one, but I genuinely love the aesthetic. I’ve always been a fan of softer colours, be that watercolour…

Poll of the week: Is this new Pokémon Legends: Arceus game aesthetically pleasing?

January 31, 2022
DDNet Poll/Game Freak/Nintendo/Pokemon/Poll/Poll of the Week/Poll Results

Poll by Matt S. Since it doesn’t seem possible for Game Freak and Nintendo to release a Pokémon game without it becoming painfully controversial, we thought we would focus the first poll of the year on the newly-released Pokémon Legends: Arceus (the review is coming, I promise!). This time around…

Review: Pokémon Shining Pearl (Nintendo Switch)

November 17, 2021
Game Freak/JRPG/Nintendo/Nintendo Switch/Pokemon/Reviews/Switch Review

Review by Matt S. Pokémon Diamond and Pearl have Piplup as one of the starter Pokémon, and Piplup is the best Pokémon of all. Ergo Diamond and Pearl are pretty darned good games, and remaking them was always going to be the right thing to do. But seriously, I do…

Review: Pokemon Sword & Shield (Nintendo Switch)

November 19, 2019
Game Freak/JRPG/monster collection RPG/Nintendo/Nintendo Switch/Pokemon/Pokemon Sword & Shield/Reviews/Switch Review

Review by Matt S. I’ve been playing Pokemon for 21 years. I figured that out because Pokemon Blue and Red was released in Australia in 1998, and I was an early adopter. Before it was even popular here my brothers and I were collecting and battling the critters like crazy.…

On the new Sonic trailer and why we need to stop “fixing” art

November 12, 2019
film/Game Freak/Opinion/Pokemon/Sonic

Opinion by Matt S.  A fair few months ago, a trailer for the upcoming Sonic film was released… and it looked terrible. So terrible, in fact, that the entire Internet seemed to blow up at the creators, who rapidly announced that they were going to go right back to the…

Review: Giga Wrecker Alt (Nintendo Switch)

May 1, 2019
2D platformer/Game Freak/Giga Wrecker Alt/Metroidvania/Nintendo Switch/platformer/Reviews/Switch Review

Review by James T. You could be forgiven for believing that Japanese developer Game Freak is only responsible for bringing the world of Pokémon – the series it is best known for – to our games libraries. Since the company’s inception in 1989, more than fifty percent of its releases…

Review: Pokemon Ultra Sun/ Ultra Moon (Nintendo 3DS)

November 24, 2017
3DS Review/3DS Reviews/Game Freak/JRPG/Nintendo/Nintendo 3DS/Pokemon/Pokemon Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon/Reviews

Review by Matt S. Nintendo and Game Freak don’t have to do much to create a best-selling Pokemon game. The franchise has such a loyal fanbase, and those fans are so committed to the basic principles of the game, that the risks involved in trying to evolve the basic game…

Review: Pokemon Sun & Moon (Nintendo 3DS)

November 23, 2016
3DS Review/3DS Reviews/Game Freak/JRPG/monster collection RPG/Nintendo 3DS/Pokemon/Pokemon Sun & Moon/Reviews

Review by Matt S. Pokemon has been a fading franchise. I know I’m going to get a horde of people yelling at me for saying that, but here’s the reality; without actually changing anything about the core Pokemon game, Game Freak has churned out iteration after iteration, each time with…

DDNet Premium/Game Freak/JRPG/Nintendo/Pokemon/Pokemon Blue/Pokemon Red/Retro/Retro Reflections

Retro reflections by Matt S. In 1998, two years after realising that it was onto something big in Japan with a humble game called Pokemon, Nintendo and Game Freak unleashed their first monster collecting JRPG in the west, with little fanfare, and minimal expectations that it would succeed (over and…

Preview by Matt S.  Due for a full release next month, a little demo for Pocket Card Jockey has arrived on the Nintendo 3DS, and immediately I have fallen in complete love with it. In the same way that Nintendo Pocket Football Club immediately grabbed my attention thanks to its…
