Pokémon Art Academy has been confirmed for a July release in the UK, which means an English translation is underway and the game could come to the US. It was previously only announced for Japan.

Gary Dear, owner of Mad Hatter's Ice Cream in Anacortes found himself situated in the middle of a maddening Pokémon GO mecca. Eager players have flocked from miles and miles away to his shop, where there are three Poké Stops located nearby---many end up getting ice cream after their journeying around.

"Never in my wildest dreams did I ever expected it to end up like this," said Dear. "I've never seen anything take off like this."

Dear even estimates that his store's sales have doubled, if not tripled, on certain nights when the Poké Madness runs wild.

Pokémon Bank arrives December 27!

We get to follow the aptly named 'Darkathion' for his first nine minutes of character customization and exploration to spots like the 'Giant Rock Stack' and library. The game's already showing clear signs of being geared towards encouraging taking your next adventure outside. 



Maybe the biggest highlight of this revealing video was the part in which we get to see just how hard it is to actually 'hit' a Pokémon with a Poké Ball when trying to catch it--takes a serious chuck, man! All in all the hype continues to build with this pretty dang exciting video!

New magazine scans confirm that ORAS will have a Pokemon Dress Up mode that goes with the Coordinator competitions in the games. No word yet on if anyone OTHER than Pikachu can be dressed up, but seeing Pikachu as a Luchadore is enough for me! <3
