I think it is safe to say Nintendo's first foray into the augmented reality scene is a success. Pokémon GO game out one week ago in the United States and it has been an instant hit flooding all social media with what has been caught, where what has been found, and more. So why is this game so addicting? The answer is the same it has always been, Gotta Catch Them All!
Read MoreNintendo has been having fun with the 20th anniversary of Pokémon. They have given away cards with a free level 100 Mew for the 3DS games. They have had the first Pokémon moviee on the official Pokémon site streaming. And now, during the recent Nintendo Pokémon Direct they have announced the next game in this massive series, Pokémon Moon and Pokémon Sun.
If this is not good enough for you, Nintendo is also releasing the original Pokémon games, Pokémon Red, Pokémon Blue, and Pokémon Yellow (Ok, that one is original-ish). These games are now available in the Nintendo eShop for the 3DS. A new feature in these digital versions will be access to the Pokémon Bank. These means you can go and catch the original 150, and then transfer them to Pokémon Sun or Pokémon Moon. Sounds like a completionist dream to me.
20 years ago Gameboy owners started their mission to catch them all. You had the choice of red or blue and Bulbasaur, Charizard, or Squirtle. And then you were off. There were 151 monsters of amazing variety and we chased after them with vigor. 20 years later we have had over 30 Pokémon games, 18 years of Ash Ketchum staying 10 years old, and tons of toys. To celebrate Nintendo has announced a new New 3DS box set that comes with Pokémon Red and Blue and two face plates so you can customize as you see fit. This is set to release on February 27th. But that is not all they have planned.

An augmented reality game that is made by the same ground that brought us Ingress. In the game you can find and capture wild Pokémon, you can battle other trainers, and even take place in group events such as battling wild Mew-Two. They are even going to have a wrist based item that will vibrate when you are near wild Pokémon and to simulate throwing the Pokéball. Check out the trailer to the pure awesome.
Read MoreHave you ever looked at Pokémon and thought that this turn based stuff is for the birds and it really needs more of a fighting game quality? Well then you are in luck! Live(ish) from YouTube comes a first look at "Pokkén Tournament". It is basically Tekken only with Pokémon characters. Fingers crossed this makes it state side.
It is not even April 1st, but Google is not one to rest when it comes to an epic April Fools event. And this year they are looking to hire a Pokémon Master to their employees. And they way they are going to find it? By having people search the world over in the Google Maps app for Android and iPhone for Pokémon, and then capture them! Don't believe me? Check out the video that says so.

Have you ever wondered what it would look like if some people with too much time on their hands arranged 30,000 dominoes into Nintendo shapes and then set them all off? Me neither, but that does not mean that someone did not do it, and here is the video as proof.
Do you like to capture Pokémon? Do you enjoy traveling across the country so you can enslave sentient creatures and then force them to fight while you stay on the sidelines yelling out commands? Do you enjoy forcing a fellow breathing and living being to an early grave? If so you are an evil evil person, and the following PSA agrees. Lets hope you mend your ways and set free your slaves before it is too late and you end up in a level of hell that forces you to be a Pokémon in an eternal losing battle.
