Brock of Pewter City



Type: Rock
Prizes: $1400, TM39 Rock Tomb, Availability to Flash
Suggested Pokemon: Mankey

Geodude
Geodude @ None
Level 12
Ability: Rock Head
- Tackle
- Defense Curl
Onix
Onix @ None
Level 14
Ability: Rock Head
- Tackle
- Bind
- Rock Tomb

Brock, being the first gym leader, is also the easiest. His team can be taken down by a Water-type or a Grass-type. Thing is... there aren't any of these available before him. Mankey, on the other hand, can put a hurting on Brock's team, despite Onix's excellent Defense. Your starter will also help, especially Squirtle and Bulbasaur, but Charmander gets access to Metal Claw at level 13, so there's no worries there.

Misty of Cerulean City


Spr FRLG Misty Type: Water
Prizes: $2100, TM03 Water Pulse, Availability to Cut
Suggested Pokemon: Paras, Pikachu

Staryu
Staryu @ None
Level 18
Ability: Natural Cure
- Tackle
- Recover
- Harden
- Water Pulse
Starmie
Staryu @ None
Level 21
Ability: Natural Cure
- Rapid Spin
- Swift
- Recover
- Water Pulse

Paras is a great candidate for Misty, as well as Pikachu. With availability to Bug AND Grass type moves, it's the perfect counter for Starmie. Stun Spore or Poisonpowder it, then spam Leech Life or switch into Pikachu to zap it.

Lt. Surge of Vermillion City


Spr FRLG Lt Surge Type: Electric
Prizes: $2400, TM34 Shock Wave, Availability to Fly
Suggested Pokemon: Geodude

Voltorb
Voltorb @ None
Level 21
Ability: Soundproof
- Shock Wave
- Tackle
- Sonicboom
- Screech
Pikachu
Pikachu @ None
Level 18
Ability: Static
- Quick Attack
- Double Team
- Thunder Wave
- Shock Wave
Raichu
Raichu @ None
Level 24
Ability: Static
- Quick Attack
- Double Team
- Thunder Wave
- Shock Wave

Geodude shouldn't have much of an issue here, considering none of their attacks can really damage it much. It learns Magnitude at level 16, and that's all you're going to need to defeat Lt. Surge.

Erika of Celadon City


Spr FRLG Erika
Type: Grass
Prizes: $2900, TM19 Giga Drain, Availability to Strength
Suggested Pokemon: Fearow, Pidgeotto, Vulpix/Growlithe

Victreebel
Victreebel @ None
Level 29
Ability: Chlorophyll
- Giga Drain
- Stun Spore
- Acid
- Poisonpowder
Tangela
Tangela @ None
Level 24
Ability: Chlorophyll
- Poisonpowder
- Constrict
- Ingrain
- Giga Drain
Vileplume
Vileplume @ None
Level 29
Ability: Chlorophyll
- Sleep Powder
- Acid
- Stun Spore
- Giga Drain

Erika's team isn't very defensive (besides Tangela) and can be taken down by any strong Flying-type, like Pidgeot and Fearow. Fly will take down just about every one of Erika's team. Vulpix and Growlithe will also deal with Erika well.

Koga of Fuschia City


Spr FRLG Koga Type: Poison
Prizes: $4300, TM06 Toxic, Availability to Surf
Suggested: Hypno, Kadabra

Koffing
Koffing @ None
Level 37
Ability: Levitate
- Sludge
- Smokescreen
- Toxic
- Selfdestruct
Koffing
Koffing @ None
Level 37
Ability: Levitate
- Sludge
- Smokescreen
- Toxic
- Selfdestruct
Muk
Muk @ None
Level 38
- Minimize
- Acid Armor
- Toxic
- Sludge
Weezing
Weezing @ None
Level 43
- Tackle
- Sludge
- Toxic
- Smokescreen
[/center]

Koga's team is unbalanced, but his Pokemon are sturdy to non-supereffective attacks. Bring along a strong Psychic-type to take him down. Hypno works by hypnotizing them and using Dream Eater or can just attack head on with Psychic. Alakazam is even better, but Hypno is sturdier and easier to obtain.

Sabrina of Saffron City


Spr FRLG Sabrina Type: Psychic
Prizes: $4300, TM04 Calm Mind, Availability to Rock Smash
Suggested Pokemon: Haunter/Gengar

Kadabra
Kadabra @ None
Level 38
- Psybeam
- Reflect
- Future Sight
- Calm Mind
Mr. Mime
Mr. Mime @ None
Level 38
- Psybeam
- Barrier
- Baton Pass
- Calm Mind
Venomoth
Venomoth @ None
Level 38
- Psybeam
- Gust
- Supersonic
- Leech Life
Alakazam
Kadabra @ None
Level 38
- Psychic
- Recover
- Future Sight
- Calm Mind

Sabrina's pretty challenging, considering Psychic is a great offensive type. Ghost is your only hope of beating her, so use a Haunter or Gengar to smack her team around. Venomoth will need a Fire-type or Rock-type, but besides that, you shouldn't have much of a problem.

Blaine of Cinnabar Island


Spr FRLG Blaine
Type: Fire
Prizes: $4700, TM50 Overheat, Availability to Waterfall
Suggested Pokemon: Golduck, Gyarados

Growlithe
Growlithe @ None
Level 42
Ability: Intimidate
- Bite
- Take Down
- Roar
- Fire Blast
Ponyta
Ponyta @ None
Level 40
Ability: Flash Fire
- Stomb
- Bounce
- Fire Spin
- Fire Blast
Rapidash
Rapidash @ None
Level 42
Ability: Flash Fire
- Stomb
- Bounce
- Fire Spin
- Fire Blast
Arcanine
Arcanine @ None
Level 47
Ability: Intimidate
- Bite
- Take Down
- Roar
- Fire Blast

Blaine's team is basically the same two Pokemon just stronger. A Gyarados will take care of him completely, as well as a Golduck. Rain Dance sets are great as well, and dampen his Pokemon's ability.

Giovanni of Viridian City


Spr FRLG Giovanni
Type: Ground
Prizes: $5000, TM26 Earthquake
Suggested Pokemon: Gyarados, Starmie

Rhyhorn
Rhyhorn @ None
Level 45
Ability: Lightningrod
- Take Down
- Scary Face
- Rock Blast
- Earthquake
Dugtrio
Dugtrio @ None
Level 42
Ability: Sand Veil
- Slash
- Sand Tomb
- Mud Slap
- Earthquake
Nidoqueen
Nidoqueen @ None
Level 44
Ability: Poison Point
- Poison Sting
- Body Slam
- Double Kick
- Earthquake
Nidoking
Nidoking @ None
Level 45
Ability: Poison Point
- Poison Sting
- Thrash
- Double Kick
- Earthquake
Rhyhorn
Rhyhorn @ None
Level 50
Ability: Lightningrod
- Take Down
- Scary Face
- Rock Blast
- Earthquake

Gyarados will be able to sufficiently take down Giovanni, though a special Water-type like Starmie will also work great, especially for Nidoking and Nidoqueen.

The technology behind Pokémon Go

The Technology Behind Pokemon GO

The Pokémon franchise was first introduced to the world in 1996 – when a new pair of video games for the Nintendo Game Boy appeared: Pokémon Red and Pokémon Green.

The concept centred around invented fictional creatures called Pokémon, which was short for pocket monsters. The gameplay revolves around players catching and training these creatures to battle each other. The games were an immediate global hit. This has evolved to the popular franchise that now includes video games, trading cards, an animated TV series, movies, merchandise – and a groundbreaking mobile game called Pokémon Go.This is an augmented reality game that was released in 2016. The game combines elements of location-based AR technology with the iconic world of Pokémon.Players use their smartphones to explore the real world while the game overlays a digital world onto the immediate physical environment

Is Pokemon Detective Pikachu Returns Going to Be a Hit?

Detective Pikachu Returns

Detective Pikachu Returns is a direct sequel to the first game Detective Pikachu that was released on 3DS in March 2018. The second game in the series, the upcoming Detective Pikachu Returns will be released on October 6th, 2023, exclusively on Nintendo Switch. The game is being developed by Creatures Inc. and is obviously going to be published by Nintendo.

In this article we will predict what to expect from the upcoming game and if it’s going to be a hit or miss for the fans of Pokémon as well as more casual players who like mysteries and detective stuff. Without further ado, let’s see what Pikachu has in store for us this time!

What’s the Story?
Story of the game. We will once again play as Tim Goodman wearing his iconic red hoodie. We came back to Ryme City to once and for all solve all the mysteries and finish unfinished business. There will be plenty of puzzles and cases to solve for both humans and Pokémon, and so far, there isn’t much more known about the game when it comes to the story. However, it will probably be straightforward and simplistic so you can focus on solving puzzles, and still being satisfied with the resolutions.We hope that the game will also be challenging at times because you want that feeling of accomplishment after solving a tougher riddle or case. In addition to that, because the first game came out over five years ago, here we could get some more modern cases that will reference the events and notions from real life like addressing the global pandemic, crypto miner games, or NFTs. As an example, we can see someone who will have their digital art stolen, and we need to crack this mystery wide open.

Visual Presentation
When it comes to the visuals, we only really saw a one-and-a-half-minute trailer, but the game looks kind of bad? We obviously know that it is still a Nintendo Switch game so nothing gorgeous will be happening here, especially with the potential release of Nintendo Switch 2 on the horizon, but the game is not about the graphics. Sadly, the environment does not look pleasing, and the background just falls flat from what we were able to see on the official YouTube Detective Pikachu Returns trailer.The textures do not look impressive, and the pixel count is quite low, but we can hope that what the game lacks in the visual presentation will make up for it in the story, character development, puzzles, and most importantly crimes to solve.

Lovable Characters and Humor
The one thing that works on the benefit of the upcoming game is the humor and chemistry between Pikachu and Tim Goodman. Our detective, known for his bolts and brilliance, will have a lot of interactions with other characters and it will make playing the game and watching the interactions all around you more precious.

The Developers Behind the Game
Another notable thing is that the developers that are creating Pokémon Detective Pikachu Returns by the name of Creatures Inc. create every model for new Pokémon. That includes all the main Pokémon games, side Pokémon games, and Pokémon TCG. They have a great track record of creating Pokémon games overall, so it is an optimistic sign that the game will result in a new hit. The whole game will also be voice acted in various languages so you can immerse yourself in the story even more than ever.

Pokémon Detective Pikachu Returns – Hit or Miss?
Considering the simplicity and uniqueness of this combination of Pikachu and detective work, we think that the game will have a lot of fans and will earn its place as one of the most fun Pokémon titles on Nintendo Switch. However, due to its lack of visual presentation the game might not reach the mainstream appeal it could with better graphics. In addition to all of that there was also a Detective Pikachu movie starring Ryan Reynolds as Pikachu and Justice Smith as Tim Goodman. The movie was a big success, and we also know that the sequel is in Development according to IMDB, so if the movie sequel releases sometime next year, or in 2025 it could create some hype for more Detective Pikachu and the game might sell a lot better, based on the popularity of the movie and the actors involved in portraying the main protagonists. The first movie had some great reviews so we can only hope the second one will repeat the success of the original.So, when it comes to the sequel to the game from 2018, we think that Pokémon Detective Pikachu Returns has a high chance of capturing the hearts of many players all around the world, and that success is needed so the entire spin-off franchise about coffee drinking lightning creature could continue going forward!

Niantic, the creator of Pokémon GO, and the Bitcoin rewards company Fold have collaborated to introduce Fold AR, an upcoming augmented reality game that allows users to earn Bitcoins.

Can You Play Pokémon with Cryptocurrency?

Pokeball Pic

Cryptocurrency – it’s increasingly taking the world by storm. But what actually is it?

Essentially, cryptocurrency is a form of digital money, and an alternative to traditional currencies. It relies on blockchain technology, and is a decentralized form of payment, which means that there’s no middleman (usually a government or bank) issuing the money in the first instance. Anyone who owns cryptocurrency can save it, trade it, or send it to others via online transactions. At the present time, there are anywhere between 5,000 and 10,000 cryptocurrencies in existence. The best known – and first – is Bitcoin, closely followed by Ethereum.

A Connection Between Pokémon Go and The Study

Surely you have often heard or read the opinion that if you often play video games, it can make you "dumb". A similar phrase can often be heard from parents who have not fully figured out whether such games can be useful, or from teachers who sometimes try to attribute their mistakes in the learning process to the fact that the child probably plays a lot and is constantly on the phone, and that is why he does not understand the subject or gets bad grades. Also, quite often,we come across studies that video games can make children aggressive, cruel, or violent. But at the same time, it is also important to understand that any issue, especially such a controversial one as games, can have several points of view. In this article, using the example of one of the most popular games among both children and adults, Pokemon Go, we will consider the possible positive effects of video games.

Pokemon Go is educational

Apart from ordinary people and animals, the Pokemon universe is full of magical creatures that are smart, can develop, and have a lot of extraordinary abilities. For example, there is a little turtle that can turn into a huge tank with water cannons. And the great thing about this game is that the players themselves are Pokemons’ couches. This can help children think about the ways to organize Pokemons' “educational process” and, meanwhile, they will understand it better, as well as the importance of different pieces of training to achieve success.
