Just cause Pokémon GO hasn't hit Singapore yet, doesn't mean the policing authorities don't know their audience...

vPokémon Go is the latest Pokémon game to be announced for Android and iPhone in which smartphone owners will be able to catch and battle Pokémon outside in the real world!

Coming some time in 2016, Pokémon Go is being developed by Niantic, a company known for the mobile game Ingress. Paired with a peripheral called the Pokémon Go Plus, trainers will be able to take their phones out into the real world and catch Pokémon in the actual wild.


The Plus device vibrates and flashes on your wrist when a Pokémon is nearby, allowing players to resist the urge to stare at their phones constantly, and instead enjoy the world around them, or whatever you're supposed to be doing while not catching Pokémon. From there, you'll take out your phone and get to work.

A new scan from Corocoro revealed Mega Metagross, which will be used by Steven. Steven Mega Evolves Metagross using the Mega Brooch and the scan references the fact that there are different Pokémon in Hoenn than before.

Mega Evolutions are a feature of certain Pokémon that allows them to gain special abilities while in battle, possibly by means of a mega stone. Confirmed Mega-Pokémon are MegaAbsol, MegaAmpharos, MegaBlaziken, MegaLucario, MegaMawile, and MegaMewtwo.

Other Pokémon shown include a Grass-type pre-evolution of Gogoat called Meekuru, an n Electric/Fairy-type called Dedenne and a Normal-type rabbit, Horubii. Both Dedenne and Horubii have a new ability called "Cheek Pouches."

Also pictured is a new gym leader named Koruni, who is linked to Mega Evolutions.

The fish named Grayson Hopper has been playing for around 135 hours. Grayson has even acquired his first Pokémon, a Charmander named AAAABBK, and defeated the rival's Squirtle!

Scanning these QR Codes or heading to the Nintendo eShop will allow you to download a patch that fixes the Lumiose City save bug and improves filtering within the Global Trade Station.

We almost missed this. Almost. All signs in the picture below point to the fact that we're about to have a bizarre ghost/ground-type Pokémon in Pokémon Sun and Moon:

The Pokémon is called Sunabaa, which happens to be a play on the Japanese word for 'sandbox.' Sunabaa evolves into Shirodesuna, which literally translates into 'A Castle of Sand.' This news was revealed in Japanese magazine Coro Coro Comi; but the official announcement should be here in short time.

The premise of The Thieves and the 1,000 Pokémon is to befriend and collect Pokémon through StreetPass. You can use Pokémon to take on the band of thieves and their Pokémon by clashing in stampede-style battles to retrieve stolen treasure.

If you don't have enough Pokémon, you'll end up losing against the thieves, so you'll actually need to have quite a lot of Pokémon to get far in the game. The villains are characters who'll be appearing in the upcoming film, Pokémon the Movie: Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction.

The trailer also mentions that there's a special something in store for those who play the game and take it to the movie theaters when the new Pokémon movie premieres. There will also be something special for those with Pokémon X and Y.

The petition, which was started up over on change.org has already gained over 57,000 supporters, and 'needs 75,000 total'. Harambe is a dual ghost and fighting type-- a gorilla who died abducting a child. His ability is “Meat Shield.” Seriously though, could any Pokémon be more legendary?

The images of a new Pokémon have been revealed by Jeux Video. This Pokémon is said to be the evolution of Amaura and is called Aurorus. Aurorus has a move called Freeze Dry, which is an Ice-type move which freezes the opponent but is said to be super effective against Water-type Pokémon. IGN have also revealed another new Pokémon called Tyrantrum.

According to an interview on Polygon, it has been stated that no Kalos Pokémon will have a Mega Evolution within Pokémon X & Y. Various details are coming in from impressions at the media briefing last week. Pokémon will gain EXP when a Pokémon is captured. The Pokémon Centers not only have the standard PokéMart, but will also have a place for you to change your outfit.
