• Welcome back to Pokécharms! We've recently launched a new site and upgraded forums, so there may be a few teething issues as everything settles in. Please see our Relaunch FAQs for more information.

    Unfortunately, I don't have any access to the backups that would be old enough for that any more. Sorry.

    Happy 'Charms Day (from the members of Pokecharms!)

    It is quite an honour to be the progenitor of a site that can illicit such a response from its users both long-time and new. There's a lot coming in the future for the site that I'm sure will only help it become that for even more people and hopefully we can all end up agreeing that it's the...

    Pokémon Shuffle Launches In Europe!

    Actually, I pretty much agree. But it doesn't excuse the unethical tactics used in this kind of freemium game. There's a right way to do F2P, and this is the way that sleazy outfits run by online gambling veterans have tunnelled through because it uses the same gambling-game based tactics, but...

    Amiibo!

    Just bought Sonic, Mega Man and Pikachu (which is on sale on ShopTo today). Still quite want Charizard and possibly Pac Man, but until there are more games than Smash, I'm not too bothered about getting any more.

    Pokémon Shuffle Launches In Europe!

    It's also pretty much the same game as the last Pokemon puzzle game they released on the 3DS that doesn't have any of this bullshit attached...

    Pokémon Shuffle Launches In Europe!

    You shouldn't put much thought into it, really. It's not worth it. It turns out that Nintendo's take on freemium is the same soul-sucking take as everyone else's. And 100% fuck you to anyone that buys the £42.99 pack for a 'free' game. Don't be the problem.

    The 'New' Nintendo 3DS is great... and also the worst electronic product I've bought in years

    That's an absolutely fair complaint, because there's literally no reason why this console should have been released without this system being improved. Its entire existence hinges on the fact people will have to upgrade from it. The 50 million 3DS figure is a point that's relatively close to...

    The 'New' Nintendo 3DS is great... and also the worst electronic product I've bought in years

    There's a lot of great things about Nintendo's latest hardware update... but it's underlined by a series of terrible choices that continue to pull Nintendo backwards into the digital dark ages. The 'New' Nintendo 3DS hits shelves across America and Europe this Friday, alongside a long awaited...

    New Pokken Tournament Trailer, Three New Characters Revealed

    It makes sense. They'll be wanting to ensure that this game stays accessible in the same way Smash does. Fight sticks are expensive and can be intimidating to non-FGC players. This may not matter much when we're taking about Japanese arcades, but there's no hiding the reality that this -will- be...

    New Pokken Tournament Trailer, Three New Characters Revealed

    I'm actually more hyped forthis than I have been for a main series game for a while... Hopefully it won't be too long before we can actually play it, but a localised, Wii U release, doesn't really seem like it's something that's going to happen this year...

    Impossible/No Thanks Requset: A Trainer Card with Friend Safari

    To be honest, for the moment, I think simply doing it as you have deals with the issue as well as really necessary. It'd be a cool idea to do something more, but there are a few questions about where to go with the TCM in the future in terms of new features and ideas, so it's really just one...

    CoroCoro Reveal Four New Mega Pokémon + A Bunch Of Information!

    At the moment, I'd probably put stock in a Wii U game set in Kanto (or even multiple regions) rather than yet another Gen I remake. With their increasing work in a 3D space on the 3DS, the barriers to GameFreak developing for the consoles have fallen in recent years - and indeed, there's enough...

    Pokémon TCGO Comes To iPad

    It's worth baring in mind that while the TCGO app/game is a great way to learn the game, and to practice with new decks, it's not very functional without going out and still actually buying the cards to redeem the codes for in the app. You won't really be able to get any of the cards you need to...

    More Details On Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Demo + 2DS Bundles Revealed

    I'd never, ever, ever, ever play on a 2DS (purely 'cos the size of the screens are the reason I needed to upgrade to the XL in the first place), but I'd so totally buy at least one of those regardless...

    Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire New 3DS' Systems For Japan + Soundtrack

    I will quite happily take one of those Groudon 'New' 3DSs if they make their way over here.

    CoroCoro Reveals A Batch Of New Mega Pokémon

    Probably worth pointing out that you can quite clearly see that Camerupt and Sharpedo are pictured here alongside Teams Magma and Aqua - so they're pretty definitely Maxie and Archie's mega evolutions. I'd figure that since everyone else is getting a mega evolution, your opposite gendered rival...

    Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Pre-Order Bonuses Revealed

    The lesson here, clearly, is don't be not Japanese. Pretty frustrating that they not only get way, way better figures than we do (why can't they just be the same ones? Why is that so hard?), but there's absolutely no way to get that art book otherwise.
