The 10 Best Sonic Games

-

Few video game characters are as iconic as Sonic the Hedgehog. The speedy little blue blur has been around for over three decades, touching every corner of pop culture along the way, from games, to comics, to TV, to blockbuster movies. But we’re here specifically to celebrate the mainline Sonic game series and pick the best of them. Before we start, let’s quickly touch upon our criteria. We tried to rank these games based on a combination of historical significance, innovation, and how well these games stand the test of time. Some games, like Sonic Adventure 1 and the original Sonic the Hedgehog, for instance, are obviously super important to the Sonic series and set the foundation for both 2D and 3D Sonic games to follow, but we felt like they both didn’t quite hold up as well as their sequels when judged by a modern standard, which was why they just missed this list. The 10 games on this list are the ones we feel are the best examples of both classic and modern Sonic style. So w...

Nintendo Works to Fix Game-Breaking Paper Mario Issue

-
Nintendo has promised to fix a game-breaking issue in Paper Mario: The Origami King that can keep players from progressing through the story. Light location spoilers for Paper Mario: The Origami King follow. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/05/14/paper-mario-the-origami-king-announcement-trailer"] On Mario and Olivia's journey to the last streamer in The Origami King, players have to collect four stamps for their Spring of Rainbows VIP card in the Shangri-Spa area. After you collect all four stamps from four different hot springs, you gain access to a secret fifth hot spring. However, once you enter the fifth hot spring, the Spring of Rainbows, you lose your VIP pass. And, the other four hot springs will not give Mario a second stamp, meaning it's impossible to regain the VIP pass after you've already used it. If you try to re-enter the Spring of Rainbows, Mario will once again be asked to show his VIP pass. So, if you leave the Spring of Rainbows b...

The 1000th Pokémon Has Been Revealed At Last

-

At last, Game Freak has done it. As of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet there are now more than 1000 Pokémon.

Pokémon Sword and Shield, along with their DLC, brought the total up to 905, and Scarlet and Violet's additions cap the number at a whopping 1008. For those tracking, that's not counting regional variants such as Wooper's new variant in the Paldea region, though it does count new regional evolutions, assuming they have different names than their counterparts elsewhere.

So who, then, is Pokémon number 1000? Turns out, Game Freak seems to have been very aware they were designing a monster with the distinguished honor of being number 1000, so they leaned into that a bit.

Warning: We're going to spoil Pokémon number 1000 for you below this video. Don't scroll further if you don't want to know.

Who's that 1000th Pokémon? It's...Gholdengo!

Okay yes, he looks like a cereal mascot. But hear us out. Gholdengo is a fascinating little dude, and a fun choice for Pokémon 1000. He evolves from Gimmighoul, a ghost Pokémon that haunts treasure chests and can be found pulling mimic-style pranks on unsuspecting trainers across Paldea. When defeated or captured, Gimmighoul drops Gimmighoul coins, which can also be found lying around on your travels across the region. You need 1000 of these Gimmighoul coins before Gimmighoul will evolve into Gholdengo on its next level up. It's a clear nod to Gholdengo's status as the 1000th Pokemon.

Gholdengo's Pokedex entry is also a testament to this amazing little guy being beloved by Game Freak. In Scarlet, at least, it reads:

Its body seems to be made up of 1,000 coins. This Pokémon gets along well with others and is quick to make friends with anybody.

What's more, the cover of its Pokedex entry is incredible: it shows him surfing on a skateboard made of coins.

We're huge fans of Gholdengo here. Congratulations, Gholdengo, on being the 1000th Pokémon. Can't wait to see what Game Freak will do for number 2000! [Editor's Note: Pokemon 2000... I liked that movie - Kat Bailey].
