Tuesday 6-19-18: Pokemon Go Trade Support, Nintendo TV Show, and Beyond Good and Evil 2 Beta

I’m not dead! I promise! Here’s today’s news.

  • Pokemon Go Trading
  • Nintendo TV Show
  • Beyond Good and Evil 2 Playable Beta?

Pokemon Go Trading

In a recent announcement by developer Niantic, the popular mobile game will FINALLY be getting player-to-player trading. It’s not that simple, however. First, you have to share your friend code with another person, and register each other as friends. After this, you only need to be level 10 to be allowed to trade. Performing these trades requires a very large amount of stardust, I’m talking 1,000,000 dust to trade in a worst-case scenario. If you want to make it cost less, you can improve your friendship level with the person. You do this by participating in raids with them, or by sending them gift items (now findable at pokestops). You have to be a certain friend level to trade legendaries, as well. More details can be found in the Niantic post about it.

Nintendo TV Show

Nintendo has teamed up with Disney to produce a competitive video game show. Titled the Nintendo Switch Family Showdown, the show pits four families against each other in a series of challenges on the Nintendo Switch console. This ranges from finding coins in Super Mario Odyssey to direct matches in Mario Tennis Aces. No word on when the show will launch, but there better be a Mario Party episode.

Beyond Good and Evil 2 Beta Date?

The game made waves at last year’s E3, and again at this years with a new cinematic trailer. While the release date of the game remains uncertain, game director Michel Ancel stated that “we aim for a playable beta for the end of next year” on Instagram. So here’s hoping to that.


That’s all for today! Tune in tomorrow for more news and such. Starting Wednesday, I’ll be posting a series of guest reviews from some other journalists I know, Stay tuned for that, some of them are pretty good. Just remember that, while they are on my site, they do not reflect my own personal thoughts on these games, simply the guest writer’s.

Friday 5-4-18: Battlerite Royale, Beyond Good and Evil 2 Gameplay, and Pikachu’s Third Evolution

It’s the last weekday! I look forward to the weekend. Not because of relaxation, but because I won’t have to be at my day job. Here’s the news.

  • Battlerite Battle Royale
  • Beyond Good and Evil 2 Dev Footage
  • Pikachu’s Long Lost Evolution

Battlerite Royale


The popular MOBA, Battlerite, has announced a battle royale mode to release this summer. This mode consists of 20 (not 100) players dropped off in a map about 30 times larger than a standard Battlerite map. The players will fight each other for 10 minutes, aiming to be the last one standing. Expect this next season.

Beyond Good and Evil 2


The developers of the long-awaited RPG have checked back in with us. This time they’re showing off a bit of the movement and controls. Explaining how players can travel and coordinate. I’m happy to see progress being gradually made on the game, it certainly looks like its coming together. You can watch the video here, it’s not long. Good luck with the French accents, though.

Momochu, Pikachu’s Third Evolution


In an interview with Pokemon designers Koji Nishino, Atsuko Nishida, and Ken Sugimori, We discover the truth behind Pikachu’s forgotten third evolution, Momochu. “The Pokémon known as Gorochu bared fangs and even had a pair of horns,” according to Nishida. There was nothing wrong with the design, but the Pokemon was removed for balance reasons. You can read the entire interview on SiliconEra. It’s not bad.


Thanks for reading, everyone. A new episode of The Cozy Co-op has gone live, in which we talk about Mass Effect. It has an amazing ad break too. Check it out! Check back Monday for the next news post. Otherwise, have a good weekend!
