Everyone can rest assured that the Global Link will officially become available for North American use on April 13th. This date had been posted on the site a few days prior to this announcement, but apparently the announcement was thought by Nintendo to be a little premature and as a result was was quickly taken down....

Pokemon GO: Aerodactyl Out of Range Fix If a player is unable to hit an Aerodactyl with their Pokeballs, it is recommended that they activate AR mode. This is done simply by flipping the AR switch that appears at the top-right corner of the screen when trying to catch a Pokemon in Pokemon GO, and this action will cause the player’s realworld surroundings to become the backdrop for their engagements. Turnining on AR mode will also reposition out-of-range Aerodactyls, allowing fans to catch them much more easily....

Giratina Altered Forme initially appeared in Pokemon GO raids quite a while ago, but is finally back thanks to the month of Legendary Weekend events. That means that there are a lot of new Pokemon, evolutions, and move sets available now and the strategy for the Raid has changed quite a bit. For players who still have an older roster saved, we thought it would be a good idea to post an update with the current best counters available....

The best moveset for Shiftry in Pokemon GO for PvP is Snarl for the quick attack and Leaf Blade for the charged attack. A Shiftry with Snarl and Leaf Blade will deal out more damage than a Shiftry with any other move combination, making it particularly useful in PvP. However, having a Shiftry in Pokemon GO that knows Snarl and Leaf Blade is useful for other purposes in the game besides just PvP....

One of the Team GO Rocket leaders that players can face in Pokemon GO is Arlo.

Part of Pokemon GO’s new buddy system involves leveling up your loyalty with your companion by completing certain activities and helping your buddy reach a certain excitement threshold.

Notably, churches and public parks are prime locations to play Pokemon GO, as they are typically safe locations for fans of the game.

The biggest complaint is that people have been driving around the park while using the app, which was revealed by park board President Maryfran Leno....

The report suggests that to help celebrate Pokemon GO Fest this weekend, players will have another chance to hunt down Lugia and maybe even collect a shiny version. Considering how useless Regice is in the current metagame, this is likely exciting news for a lot of players. Here’s a look at the report from Serebii… The reappearance of Lugia does feel a bit random, but most of the community seems to be over Regice raiding, so any change of pace is probably welcome....

Like most other mobile free-to-start games, Pokemon GO occasionally gifts players bonus items, especially when events are happening. That said, Niantic is generally a bit more selective when it comes to promo codes. RELATED: Pokemon GO: How To Enter Promo Codes Whereas some games, like the newer hit Genshin Impact, are known for dishing out promo codes regularly, that is not usually the case with Pokemon GO. Promo codes in this game are rather sporadic, and generally reserved for special promotions and customer service tickets....

Coronet. Following a little small talk, she’ll explain that she has something for the player and ask them to choose between her left or right hands.

Where to Find Squirtle in BDSP Unfortunately for early Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl trainers, Squirtle can only be obtained in the Grand Underground. Players will also need to have the National Dex attachment for their Pokedex. To get the National Dex, players will need to defeat the Elite Four and the Champion Cynthia and see 150 Pokemon in the Sinnoh Pokedex.

Still, with so much controversy surrounding the release of Pokemon Sword and Shield, it sold quite well despite it all....
