    TPCi registers trademarks for new Pokemon fighting game?

    Regarding the two different trademarks, my main theory would simply be that they had two ideas for the name of the game, and figured both would be valuable. Publishers tend to do this if they think the name they end up not using might still be useful as a sequel name. It could, however, also be...

    TPCi registers trademarks for new Pokemon fighting game?

    Following some digging, Siliconera have discovered two new trademarks recently filed by The Pokémon Company International under the names 'Pokkén Fighters' and 'Pokkén Tournament'. A similar trademark was later established in Japanese for the core term 'Pokken' 'ポッ拳' by AAPF. The name, odd as it...

    Doctor Oak's Trading Topic

    First, to preface this, my time is somewhat limited - so if you can't organise trades on my schedule (which will generally be weekday evenings/late weekend afternoons GMT), there's not much point in replying as I won't be able to work to yours. I've got a few Pokemon worth trading off, and am...

    Kickstart Video Games Live's 3rd Album

    Here are just a few more videos from VGL to sum up why we love it so much: This one is Pokemon, but you'll probably notice it's a bit of a cheat - hopefully the one on the album will be actual game music:

    Kickstart Video Games Live's 3rd Album

    Here at Pokecharms, we're huge fans of Video Games Live, with a few of us being lucky enough to have been able to go and actually see the show live. So far they've released two studio albums, but because record companies are, well, record companies, they've decided to go it alone for a third...

    Mega Kangaskhan

    The design of the parent Kangaskhan doesn't change - but the baby does (it basically develops a bit more). The point of this one is that it's the baby that 'Mega Evolves', not the parent.

    Pokémon TCG And VG 2013 World Championships Come To A Close

    What I learned from watching the VGC finals: If you're the guy on the right, who isn't being used as the 'host' game for the video feed: just give up right now. Was glad to see a few different Pokemon in amongst the Cresselias and Genies, but God do I hope X/Y's meta game is a littttttle more...

    Mega Evolution Predictions

    It would be pretty nice of them to add these by updating the game, rather than them all just being there in the code for us to find but hidden away from availability in the game. It would make for good, engaging, fresh content for the games on a regular basis. I expect we'll probably see at...

    Mega Kangaskhan

    This has got to wind up being extremely broken. OHKOs all over the damned place here.

    The Post Your Thoughts of the Moment Thread

    Oh man, Gargoyle's Quest. I don't even really know what it is about it, but it's very much a defining Gameboy game for me. It is a hard game, so don't feel too put down by it :p

    English Info for Yesterday's Reveals

    It's also on the bracelets the main characters wear. They will almost certainly play some role in how Mega Evolutions work. Maybe enough to mean that they just won't be present in real competitive play at all due to being limited like the Wonder Launcher.

    X/Y Super Training

    To clarify the Core Training aspect, what seems to be the case if you can get the training bags, and then set your Pokemon off 'against' them while you run around doing other stuff. Effectively, EV training by walking around. My guess is that you'll see various kinds of bags for each stat...

    New Pokémon, Mega Forms Revealed, and More

    Mareep Digivolve Tooooooooooooooo..... It's now been confirmed that they are in-battle form changes only, and require the Pokemon to hold a special item under the class of 'Mega Stones', such as 'Blazikenite'. These items are not available in-game, so it looks like they'll be restricted to...

    Wii U Discussion

    More bad news for Nintendo as ASDA, the second largest supermarket chain in the UK (and owned by Walmart - though the policy is unlikely to be a reflection on the parent company) drops the Wii U hardware and games from its shops following massive price gouges to get rid of stock. Nintendo's...

    Pokémon Smash Shows Off More X & Y Footage

    I don't think Smash is going to come out with any scoops - at all - for the rest of this pre-launch period. The rest of the marketing wheel is well underway online and in CoroCoro, so Smash is really just a roundup for those that don't follow it in those places. However, I really hope we get to...

    Get the popcorn!

    Last night, we went to see a triple bill of Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and The World's End. I'd never actually seen Shaun of the Dead before, so watching it on a cinema screen was pretty cool. You don't often get a chance to catch a movie in the cinema for the first time years later. The...

    DS Lite Troubleshooting Help, please?

    Well, we're not Nintendo, so there's not exactly a lot we can do. The easiest answer is, yes, your now two hardware cycles old DS Lite is pretty much a goner. Chances are, you've knackered the connectors in the card reading slot (it could have, for a complete, unsubstantiated example, been a...

    Global Link for Black/White & B2/W2 closing

    No more Dream World. Best news of the year.

    #687 - Malamar

    Worth noting in this thread that it's pretty certain, given previous leaks that included this Pokemon and it's pre-evolution, that to evolve Inkay, you will have to turn your 3DS upside down when levelling up.

    New Trailer, English Names and More!

    The smart thing to do would be to only allow you to send Pokemon of the same species once in 10 times or something like that. Or require that the Pokemon has levelled up since you caught/received it. Any small restriction, really, would be enough to deter a majority of exploits of it. It's a...
