Gen VIII Pokedex Review - Part 1: New Pokemon!
Pokemon Sword and Shield released almost a month ago when we first reviewed the game. Now we feel it's time to review and share our thoughts on all the new Pokemon introduced in this generation. As of this posting, TPCi has not officially revealed all Pokemon, so if you've yet to purchase the game, or haven't finished, be warned as this post will contain spoilers. For those who are ready, below is our review of all the new Pokemon introduced in Pokemon Sword and Shield.
Since there are a fair few new Pokemon, we've decided to split this up into two parts. The first part will focus on all the Gen VIII Pokemon, and the second part will focus on the Galarian and Gigantamax forms, which we will post next week. We've really got to take our hats off to the designers though. Out of all the Pokemon introduced, there aren't that many we dislike, and can easily count them on one hand.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons Being Translated to Latin American, New Details Revealed
Whilst many of us thought we'd have to wait until the new year for any more information on New Horizons, Nintendo has thrown a curve ball at us, revealing that the game will be translated into Latin American, and will also include Mexican content, such as holidays and clothing!
The news was revealed earlier today by Nintendo Latin America, which also showed off 6 new screenshots. Not much is shown in the new screenshots, though they do however show off a new flower coloration, of what we believe to be orange poppies. It's also nice to see how the game is currently looking.
In addition to being able to chose which hemisphere you're playing in, it's great that Nintendo is deciding to include more cultures into the Animal Crossing franchise, and makes us wonder if they'll decide to include some other cultures as well. Animal Crossing: New Horizons released for Nintendo Switch on March 20th, 2020.

Pokemon Sword and Shield (Nintendo Switch) - Review
From the infamous "Armoured Evolution" to #BringBackTheNationalDex to Gigantamaxing, it sure has been a wild ride since February when Pokemon Sword and Shield were first revealed. This time around, their marketing tactic was scarce when compared to the previous generation, and a lot was kept hidden until the games finally released. But does the first mainline RPG on the Nintendo Switch live up to the hype? Let's find out!
The games start off like any other Pokemon game. You start your game, you meet someone, you get your starter Pokemon, and then you being your journey. There is a little something at the start of the game that adds to the mystery and story (more on that later), but the small taste they give to you doesn't seem sweet enough. You then play the game like you would any other Pokemon game, until you reach the fabled Wild Area.
The Wild Area has been covered to death by this point, and is an expansive area where wild Pokemon roam free, but it's one of th…
