As a long-time Pokémon fan, I remember hunting for Pikachu in so many different games! Sometimes it meant trekking all over the place hoping one would appear, or being lucky enough to start with one like in Pokémon Yellow. But Legends: Arceus had a really unique way – you had to become best friends with a Pichu and help it evolve! It was such a cool experience.
Shiny Pokémon are typically very rare in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, just like in other Pokémon games. If you’re hoping to find one, focus your search around Lumiose City, particularly in the Wild Zones.
In Pokemon Legends: Z-A, you can discover Alpha Pokemon simply by exploring Lumiose City – check streets, alleys, and even rooftops! Keep in mind that some Pokemon only come out during the day, while others prefer nighttime. If you need to change the time of day, you can always rest on a bench to quickly cycle between day and night.
Just starting out with Pokémon Legends: Z-A? This guide will teach you everything you need to know about the game’s basic mechanics and how to play.
Okay, so last season of ‘Ghosts’ left me totally stunned! Hetty’s ex-husband, Elias – pretending to be this guy Brent McAfee – seriously tricked Jay into basically selling his soul to get his restaurant off the ground. Now, season five starts with Sam and all the ghosts at the mansion trying to figure out how to undo the deal and save Jay from a pretty terrible fate. It’s a race against time to break the contract and get things back to normal!
As a big fan of ‘Shifting Gears,’ I was excited for this week’s episode, and it definitely delivered… eventually. They kept the celebrity cameos coming – this time with Gabriel Iglesias dropping by Matt’s garage – but after the first two episodes focused so much on recognizable faces like stars from ‘Home Improvement’ and Lilly Singh, I was hoping for more substance. Thankfully, they gave us a significant development for Kat Dennings’ character, Riley, which actually addressed a concern I had with the new season and made things feel much more grounded.
The Duffer Brothers, creators of *Stranger Things*, initially chose Netflix because the platform offered creative freedom that traditional television didn’t. Now, they’re moving to Paramount, largely because Netflix focuses so heavily on streaming, and the Duffers want to create projects meant for movie theaters. As Matt Duffer explained to *Variety*, the appeal of Paramount was “just to be able to do something theatrical, which is not something Netflix does.” While they still have some loose ends to tie up with Netflix – including an animated special called *Stranger Things: Tales From ’85* which will feature the characters as they were in season 2, and a spinoff series set in a new location – the move signals a shift in their creative direction. It seems the Duffers, much like their character Will Byers, may always be connected to the world of *Stranger Things*.
Now, ain’t that faster than a jackrabbit on a hot griddle? Just four months after Erebor tossed its hat in the ring, Washington rolled out the GENIUS Act (because nothing says “genius” like letting bankers play with digital Monopoly money). The bank plans to operate digitally from Columbus and New York, armed with $275 million and a risk framework tighter than your grandma’s corset.
I recently shared a collection of demos that I thought were particularly interesting. If even that smaller selection feels like too much, it’s a good place to begin your search. The demos are grouped by genre and type to help you find games you’ll like, though the categories aren’t always exact. If you try a demo that isn’t on the list and think it should be, please let me know in the comments!
