It Took Me 10 Minutes To Hit A Paywall In The New Free-To-Play Pokémon Puzzle Game
23.7.2025
I know “free-to-play” is often a misnomer, and these games should actually be called “free-to-try,” but I haven’t played one that felt as blatant in its efforts to extract money from me as Pokémon Friends in a hot minute. The puzzle game/plush collector is cute and clearly geared toward young...

There's Something Very Suspicious About These New Pokémon Plushies
21.5.2025

Switch 2 Will Launch With Almost Twice As Many Profile Icons, Including Every Pokémon Starter
6.5.2025
