Last week’s Pokemon Presents had plenty of huge announcements: Pokemon Unite is going mobile, trainers got more glimpses of the long-awaited Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl remakes (finally!), and Pokemon Legends: Arceus unveiled a couple of critters that have sent fans crazy. Let’s kick start Monday with a Poke-fest of Memes!

Machamp Madness

What it’s like to play Machamp from PokemonUnite
We already know Machamp is more beast than Pokemon. But Pokemon Unite takes this four-armed behemoth to the next level. How else would you explain Venusaur being pounded into a diced vegetable? Incredible.

But before we get all excited about Pokemon Unite going mobile, the folks at Tencent need to get something sorted out: letting players know the damn score. It’s just basic fundamentals.

Poor Pokemon Unite. This fairly new game will probably be outshined and outsparkled by Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl when the Gen 4 remakes release in November. But after a 14 year wait for a remake, can you really blame fans?

Last week Pokemon Presents saw the release of Pokemon Legends: Arceus’s  2nd trailer, and there’s only one thing currently flooding the Reddit streams: Hisuian Growlithe. Just look at its adorable 70s hairdo – this ancient firecracker of a Pokemon is set to be a red hot asset.

Now everyone wants a Basculin

Finally, the nippy little Basculin can feel vindicated. This green piranha has often been shown a lack of respect: no evolution, slightly worthless, and according to the Pokedex, extremely delicious. But Pokemon Legends: Arceus has boosted its street cred by giving it an evolution: Basculegion.

Apparently, this new Pokemon’s evolution comes from a Basculin being possessed by the deceased souls of other Basculin. Who’s laughing now?

Meme Monday: Lighten(ing) your mood with these Neon memes

It’s been a few weeks since the release of Valorant’s newest agent, Neon, and she’s been a blast to play with (and against.) Naturally, a character as fun as Neon will breed memes equally as electrifying. Here are some Neon memes that are guaranteed to strike your funny bone.

Meme Monday: Gamers, roar with laughter with these Chinese New Year memes

If the constant blasting of Chinese New Year (CNY) music in public spaces hasn’t told you already, the Year of the Tiger is here! Sorry gamers, time to log off and visit relatives (or not, COVID-19’s STILL a thing.) Here are some CNY gaming memes to laugh at when you need an escape from all your relatives’ incessant questioning. Gong Xi Fa Cai!

Meme Monday: Arceus is here, so have a Legendary week ahead!

It’s here, it’s here, it’s finally here! Okay, well…not quite. But it’s coming! Just four days from now, Pokémon Legends: Arceus will officially be released. To celebrate the release of yet another game variant of our favourite childhood show, we’ve compiled a list of memes to help you count the next few days.

Meme Monday: You’ve seen the Spider-Verse, now get ready for the Riot-Verse

It’s only midway through January and Riot is already treating us well with the release of two new characters: Neon from Valorant and Zeri from League of Legends (LOL). Even better, Neon is canonically Filipino, a huge win for Southeast Asian gamers! But we, like the rest of the internet, are seeing double – Neon and Zeri are practically the same person. Case in point: They are voiced by the same Filipino voice actress, have very similar abilities and look basically identical. We can’t help but think that Riot is trying to hint at something…a Riot multiverse, perhaps? It won’t be too far-fetched, since crossovers between both games have happened and Valorant’s storyline literally revolves around a second Earth from another universe. Alright, that’s enough speculation. This Meme Monday, we bring you PROOF of the Riot-Verse. Well, kinda.

Meme Monday: Game NFTs are ruining my life!

The turn of a new year usually brings resolutions and new goals. People generally aim to better themselves in the following year. Square Enix president Yosuke Matsuda didn’t get the memo though.
