Niantic, the company behind Ingress, recently scored its independence from Google. Players had previously been worried about that the End Game project was… a rival game, not an end to Ingress, Niantic had (mostly) successfully reassured people. Then players had life after Google to worry about. The launch of Pokemon Go serves both to reassure […]
Pokemon coffee labels
The Shirts.com team figured that at least one generation of coffee drinkers have grown up with Pokemon and that the two go together. I think they might be right; with titles like Pikachu’s Morning Spark, Drowzee’s Sleep-Inducer (decaf, right) Gengar’s Jump Scare and Hoothoot’s Night Owl to pick from, who could say no? If you’re […]
Vote Mudkip!
Here at Geek Native this blogger has learnt that it is best to steer clear of politics. Oops. Ths poster, spotted in the tube, just had to be shared. It’s not vote UKIP. It’s vote Mudkip who’ll stop those non-water type Pokemon coming over to the UK and stealing your job.
Don your very own Cubone skull mask
At a glance this mask might look a bit sinister. What is? A dragon? Some sort of dark Viking warrior? What if I told you the skull worn is typically that of a dead mother? This is a Cubone skull mask. Cubone is a lonely Pokemon that cries itself to sleep each night as it […]
Pokemon meets D&D? Let’s talk MajiMonsters!

Would you trust this Squirtle?
Would you trust this Squirtle with your fire prevention responsibilities? She looks a little evil to me. Look at her eyes and compare that to the standard Squirtle plush and there are clearly differences. Ask yourself where the fire extinguisher went? Scary. Not as scary as this Grimlified Squirtle, though.
Worth more? Old Charizard Pokemon cards or 50s Barbie? [Infographic]
Bingo site Two Little Fleas has been inspired by old Pokemon cards selling on eBay for £1,200 (and there are many scary prices for cards on Ebay). They’ve also been driven by the need to get in touch with gamers. The result? An infographic that worth of old toys if you were to sell them today. […]
Relive the best of 2014’s gaming in under 2 minutes
Malcolm Klock has put together this montage of some of the great games of 2014. He stresses that if your favourite game is missing it will probably due to editing rather than it not being worthy. I think the final montage is neat. It’s both dramatic and beautiful. It has, as Klock says, been an […]
Zombie Pokemon for your nightmares
These two horrible alternative Pokemon are the love-children of artists J.R. Coffron and Stephen Oakley. Pikachu is pretty scary as a brain eating undead monster. Weezing is far, far, worse, though. You can imagine running from this monstrous Weezing as a level boss in a survival horror gets the drop on you.
