What’s up, gamers!? Hope you’re having a Wonderful Wednesday! It’s Mark Emery, AKA TacoRemix, and this is what you missed yesterday in gaming news:
Pokemon Let’s Go! Pikachu / Eevee updates
Let’s talk about Pokemon Let’s Go! Pikachu and Eevee here for a second. I’ve been away for a little, working on the wizard of legend video, which did pretty well compared to these videos. I’ll try to sprinkle those in more, but ultimately I like doing gaming news, it’s a steady stream of content, and I don’t have to buy the latest and greatest game to keep up with trends. It gets expensive.
Enough about the digression, here’s all the new things you need to know about the upcoming pokemon game on Nintendo Switch!
The pokeball plus will take 3 hours to charge on a USB C cable, which by the way is my favorite cable to use! Can everything be on USB-C from now on? I can’t tell you how many times i’ve broken my USB micro.. Mini.. I get those two mixed up, but both of them need to be replaced with the USB C immediately, i’m so glad the pokeball plus will be having that port. It takes 3 hours to charge, No word on how long it will last, depends on the use. If you’re trekking this bad boy along with you all day, petting your pokeball, as it.. You know.. Yells at you.
The Pokeball will light up and move when you catch a pokemon, it’s supposed to simulate the way catching a pokemon would feel. That’ll be fun to see!
As far as the pokemon go, (HA! See what I did there? Pokemon go..) There will only be the original 151, Let me tell you, I am working my ass off to catch Mew right now in Pokemon Go, that’s my favorite Pokemon, and the only one I care about. I want to be running around with mew trailing behind me, like a super duo. Can I put sunglasses on my Mew? You think I give a shit about Eevee? Can eevee transform? NO! IT CAN’T! Will eevee learn wish so it can recover? PROBABLY NOT! Can Mew learn softboiled and roost? Yeah! Yeah it can! But! Turbo Taormino is getting Let’s Go Pikachu, so if Eevee and Pikachu have to fight, i’ll be hitting him with a sand attack trying to brace for all of the thunder waves that’s coming my way.
What other notes do I have here? So this game is based on Pokemon Yellow, you guys knew that already, if not, hey! You learned something new! Online play looks like it won’t be supported in terms of co op. You can still battle your friends online. I’m coming for ya, Justin!
As for Pokemon Go intigration, it looks like you can transfer pokemon from Pokemon Go to Let’s Go Pikachu and Eevee, but not transfer back. Which is fine, because i’m only picking up Pokemon Go again to get Mew to transfer over. Am I spoofing? Yeah, I am. I want Mew, and I work 16 hours a day and don’t have time to stroll around the block. I’m a fucking adult! Finally, back to the original 151 you’re also going to see some alolan pokemon in there, Pokemon Go is currently having the palm tree exeggutor going around, these guys are great, you catch a ton of them that are above 2000 CP and you can scatter them across gyms. It’s a good alternative to all the damn chanceys and blisseys that i’m seeing. They just… they just take so long to take down.
Lego is basically building AR ‘Sims’ for its playsets
For our next story, it looks like Lego is making an artificial reality game due out later this year! It combines real world lego buildings with digital ones. I’m reading this article from Engadget and they are comparing it to a Lego Sims. Plus Lego has things like Harry Potter, Batman, Sonic, Simpsons, all that, so you might be seeing digital springfields, arkham city, etcetera etcetera! Did you guys have legos as a kid? I couldn’t have legos, I had a bunch of brothers and sisters, well I could have legos, but they’d play with them, and lose them. I mean, it took the fun out of it you know? They would get into the legos, and you’d have pieces lost, and you know you have that one lego guy you really really like, and they lose that guy, and you FLIP OUT! Cuz you’re 10 years old and … hormones!
Anyway! The Sims, I mean the lego AR game is going to enable multiplayer games, so 3 other friends with their own phone or tablet can join in on session. You’ll also be able to do things like unlock vehicles as time goes on.
Pokemon Quest Glitch /Cheat Run away and Survive. Patience = Win
Speaking of Pokemon! It’s time for Taco’s Cheat Mix! This one is from Gamester 5001, for the game Pokemon Quest out for the switch right now. He shows you by taping on the run away button as much as you can, you can keep one pokemon alive while your other two pokemon wail on the level’s boss. Just like in the video’s title: Patience = Win. Follow the link below for more details, and give him a what’s up from me.
Team Sonic Racing hands-on — Kart racing fans are getting another lap
Next up here are some more details for Super Sonico Kart, Sonic Racing? Team Sonic Racing. You can pre-order the game for $40, hey not bad! You’ll have unique vehicle customization options, seems to be pretty standard in Kart racers, or at least should be standard. You can play solo or team up, and also race against each other.
Let’s talk about something that I haven’t seen in a Kart racer yet: Team Ultimate Power, which boosts other members of your team. This is next level, and I really want to see that in an esports environment, maybe not a Sonic racing game. Sonic has so much to do to repair their name. Sonic Mania was a good start. But their 3D games are still so buggy. They just need one REALLY good 3D sonic game. I Don’t care if everyone else is doing a large free roam RPG, it’s exactly what sonic needs, he doesn’t have to go fast, I know that’s the staple of that, but he can start slow, and with each chaos emerald he can go faster. People re-brand things all the time, take note from Mario Odyssey and Breath of the Wild, get a progression system similar to Skyrim or something, these formulas WORK. I know there’s like 100 of you maybe watching this. But what do you think? I’ll be talking with the few of you that comment down below, like I typically do. By the way, Mythical Knights asked where my gaming news videos were, right here buddy!
