Pokemon is a series that many grew up with, so it's not a surprise to see product collaborations being popular. In fact, many of us have been waiting for the Razer Pokemon TWS earbuds when it was first announced in April. Now, it's finally coming to Malaysia along with a few other Pokemon Limited Edition gaming peripherals.

So some of you might already know, but there was a new Pokemon announcement that a new game was in development. Pokefans were hoping for a Diamond/Pearl remake but turned out it was Pokemon United, a MOBA version for the Nintendo Switch, iOS and Android. Yes, it is cross-platform and yes, nobody was asking for it, but it makes sense from a business point of view.

You probably have seen Pokemon grandpa online before with his 'obsession' on Pokemon Go, you know, the elderly man who cycles around with a bunch of smartphones attached. Ever since the pandemic hit Taiwan hard, we haven't heard of him since but now that they are cleared from the lockdown, he came back with even more smartphones.

If you want us to be honest, augmented reality games are taking a serious hit in 2020. Many things had to be tweaked to enforce social distancing, but Niantic has managed to keep Pokemon GO going strong. Moreover, the Pokemon GO Fest will still happen this year as an online event and details have now been revealed.

So now that we know the Movement Control Order has been extended (again) to 12 May 2020, we won't be surprised if our government decides to extend it again. In case that happens, we will have time to do more things we've always wanted to do. If you're still looking for more movies or TV series to watch on Netflix, Pokémon Journeys: The Series, a Netflix Original is coming soon.

Earlier today, Razer has officially unveiled the Pokemon-themed true wireless earphones on weibo at the price of RMB849(~RM519). To go into more detail, the aforementioned earphones are kept in a PokeBall charging case which is able to provide several hours of listening time before you need to charge it again.

Just in time for the Pokemon franchise birthday 24 years ago, Google has released the official Pokemon of the Year results a few hours ago. Started from 14 February, users around the globe were able to vote for their favourite Pokemon and to our relief, Pikachu didn't take the top spot as it belongs to Greninja, a water-type started from Kalos. Apart from that, the company also released the Top 30 Pokemon of each region!

Yes, Pokemon International Championships is a real thing and it doesn't work like the ones you saw in the anime. In this latest news, it has been reported that a 7 years old Pokemon trainer, Simone Lim from Singapore has won the Pokemon Oceania International Championships (Junior Division) as well as our hearts because she's so darn cute.

Despite many of its features locked behind a monthly subscription, many Pokemon fans have downloaded and install Pokemon Home since the app launched. Currently, the app has been downloaded and installed 1.3 million times on its very first week.

It was just two weeks ago when we got news of a new cloud service for Pokemon that allows you to store your Pokemon. Today, the Pokemon Company officially launched Pokemon Home, which is now available on the Nintendo Switch e-Shop, Apple App Store, and Google Play Store in selected regions.
