Pokemon: Core Nintendo Switch RPG Title Releasing in 2019

There's a proper Pokemon game coming to Switch next year.

At the Pokemon press conference in Tokyo, Game Freak revealed that they are still working on a "core" and more traditional Pokemon game for Nintendo Switch. 

Details are few and far between at this time, but early reports from the press conference indicate that the core Pokemon Switch game that Game Freak is working on is designed in the style of Pokemon X/Y and Pokemon Sun/Moon. That is to say that it sounds like it's going to be the kind of traditional JRPG Pokemon experience that we've been getting on Nintendo handhelds for years, but this one will playable on Nintendo Switch. 

In other words, it sounds like it's going to be exactly the Pokemon game we were expecting when it was revealed that core Pokemon experiences are coming to the Nintendo Switch. 

At this time, the current plan is for this unnamed core Pokemon game to be released for Nintendo Switch sometime during the second half of 2019. Beyond that, Game Freak and Nintendo are not revealing any more information about the game (though that may change at E3 2018).

This news will surely be welcomed by a legion of Pokemon fans who are reading the reports of Pokemon Quest and Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee and are suddenly wondering if this is all that Nintendo has planned for the Pokemon franchise. While both of those games look relatively amusing in their own right, it's safe to say that many Pokemon fans out there - yours truly included - did not envision an elaborate version of Pokemon Go when Nintendo talked about developing a core Pokemon title for the Nintendo Switch. This 2019 title sounds like it's going to be the kind of console Pokemon JRPG experience that players have been waiting roughly 20 years for (which thankfully means it will likely allow you to actually battle Pokemon in order to capture them). 

We'll bring you more information on this game as we get it, but don't expect Nintendo to release too many more details until this 2019 Pokemon Switch game nears its release date.

There's Only One Blockbuster Video Left in the United States

The true end of an American institution draws closer, as after two closings in Alaska, only one Blockbuster Video remains in business in the U.S. It might seem like a lifetime ago to many, but before subscription streaming services like Netflix and Amazon dominated the home video rental market, the good old-fashioned video store was king. The biggest player in that industry up until its final gasps as a major force was Blockbuster Video, which employed over 58,000 people and operated over 4500 stores in the U.S. at the company's peak in 2004. Blockbuster Video was founded in 1985, naturally right around the beginning of movie rentals as a whole. The company dominated the 80s and 90s, and became culturally ubiquitous. Of course, it wasn't always widely known for good reasons. Things like lacking supplies of new releases, annoying late fees, and Blockbuster's tendency to put surrounding independent video stores out of business by undercutting their prices, all became inf

WARNING: The following article contains SPOILERS for Disenchantment . - Fans of Matt Groening's work will not be surprised to learn that Disenchantment - the new fantasy series Groening created for Netflix - contains a number of Easter eggs and references to his earlier work. The early seasons of The Simpsons   often made reference to Groening's comic strip Life In Hell , and the sci-fi comedy  Futurama   also paid tribute to Groening's past creations - even before an official crossover  was arranged between Springfield's favorite family and the employees of Planet Express. To that end, we've attempted to inventory all of the subtle nods and sight-gags in Disenchanted that pay tribute to the earlier animated series and comics - from familiar wigs to a potential shared universe.

Harry Potter: 20 Things Everyone Gets Wrong About Voldemort

Tom Marvolo Riddle started out as an orphan at a muggle orphanage. He was convinced that he had a destiny greater than mundane obscurity. Then Albus Dumbledore arrived and told Riddle that he was a wizard. Riddle jumped at the chance to go to Hogwarts. However, he had already developed cruel and selfish tendencies - tendencies that he carefully worked to hide from the Hogwarts students and staff. He quietly expanded his knowledge, power, and influence until he reemerged many years later as Lord Voldemort. Voldemort spread such a reign of terror across Great Britain that the magical community as a whole feared to speak his name. They only referred to him as “You Know Who” or “He Who Must Not Be Named.” Just when he was at the height of his power, Voldemort was defeated and banished after an encounter with an infant. Harry Potter became known as the Boy Who Lived. For the rest of his life, Voldemort was obsessed with regaining his power and destroying Harry Potter, the supposed chos
