AOTW: Snow Cloak and Sand Veil

Wil Brendel January 27, 2011

Weather effects were an insane addition to the Pokémon franchise back in 2000 (1999 for Japanese players- jerks) with the release of Gold and Silver Versions. Weather conditions debuted with three possible effects as we took our first excursion through the Johto region: intense sunlight, sudden downpours, and damaging sandstorms. In generation three, hailstorms became… Continue Reading »

Fossil Fuel

Jay Petrequin January 24, 2011

History is important in Pokemon, primarilly in it’s mythos and culture, as touched upon in my last article. One often overlooked sect of Pokemon history is the origin of fossil Pokemon, and that’s our topic for today. The reason I like fossil Pokemon is the creativity in design found with them. Nintendo decided not to just choose… Continue Reading »

Region-Locked

Jay Petrequin January 10, 2011

Geography is an interesting thing. …okay, that’s a lie, but in this case it can actually be pretty cool. Today, we’re going to take a bit of a different route(see what I did there?), and look at the regions throughout generations I-IV, from real-world basis to atmosphere and location. Before we look at the individual… Continue Reading »

AOTW: Intimidate

Wil Brendel January 7, 2011

It’s Friday, folks! And that means it’s time to learn about another Ability. But first, a quick correction from last week’s article about the generational starter Abilities; in my example, I stated that Surf had a base damage of 80, when it’s actually 95. At first, I thought that this was a recent development, but… Continue Reading »
