Pokemon Home Pricing And Features Detailed

The cloud-based Pokemon Home is coming in February, and Nintendo has opened a site that shares more on pricing and other assorted details. Storing your pocket monsters from games like Pokemon Sword and Shield in the cloud won't exactly come cheap, though, as a yearly premium subscription costs almost as much as a Nintendo Switch Online subscription.

The Pokemon Home app on mobile devices provides a large repository of info, including the Pokemon that can Mega Evolve or Gigantamax, abilities, and the moves they can learn. You can also receive Mystery Gifts straight through the mobile app. A "Judge" function lets you get automated feedback on the strength of your Pokemon. You'll be able to see personalized info in an area called Your Room, and decorate your profile with stickers. Finally, you can earn Home Points by depositing Pokemon, which can then be traded for Battle Points (BP) to be used in the core Pokemon games. Various trade types are supported including the Wonder Box, GTS, and Room trades.

The basic (free) plan gives you access to most features in some limited capacity, albeit with a fairly low storage limit. Premium users get much higher storage and trading limits, and also get exclusive access to moving Pokemon from the 3DS Pokemon Bank, and the judge function.

One month of Pokemon Home Premium costs $3, three months is $5, and 12 months is $16.

Currently, Pokemon Home is planned to work with Pokemon Sword and Shield and Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee, at launch. Pokemon Go functionality is planned for the future, but no date has been announced. Home can also connect with Pokemon Bank to transfer your monsters from 3DS. Pokemon Bank and Transporter will be available for free for a month after Home launches, so you can move them over easily.

The launch of Pokemon Home was one of the major announcements in a Pokemon-focused Nintendo Direct at the beginning of the year--along with DLC for Sword and Shield and the announcement of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX, a remake of the classic dungeon-crawler.

MediEvil Review - Bones 'n Brawn

As a remaster of the 1998 puzzle-platformer of the same name, MediEvil holds up reasonably well. Its cartoonishly charming characters and varied, if relatively simplistic, level design both stands the test of time and looks better than ever thanks to a complete graphical overhaul. But as much as MediEvil can feel like a warm blanket of nostalgia--especially for those of us who played the game 21 years ago--it also feels incredibly dated, with jittery controls and camera issues that regularly get in the way of progress. You play as Sir Daniel Fortesque, a dead knight who is returned to life when the sorcerer Zarok makes an unexpected return to Gallowmere, bringing with him hordes of monsters. Fortesque remains every bit as charming a character as he was; his gnarled teeth, warbly voice, and single, rolling eyeball lose none of their charisma in the remastering process. Zarok's design hasn't aged well, though, and the new visuals leave him looking like a plastic doll who’s been

After Pitching Dragon Age Musical DLC, David Gaider Is Finally Getting To Make His Musical Game

Dragon Age lead franchise writer David Gaider is making a new and intriguing-looking musical adventure game Chorus . As it turns out, the veteran game developer--who left BioWare years ago--has been thinking about making a musical game for a long time. In an appearance at the GameSpot Theatre today at PAX Aus about his new game and studio, Gaider said he in fact pitched musical DLC for Dragon Age during his time at BioWare. The musical Dragon Age DLC could have taken place inside the metaphysical Dragon Age realm called The Fade, he said. It was a semi-serious, semi-joking pitch, Gaider said, but whatever the case, it never happened. Gaider is now getting to realize that dream. His new game, Chorus, is a musical adventure game where they big story beats play out through song. Gaider is working on Chorus with Summerfall managing director Liam Esler (former Obsidian, Beamdog developer), while prolific voice actress Laura Bailey (Uncharted, Gears of War) is voicing the main character.
