The Pokémon video games have had a ban list for their competitive tournaments since the beginning. The likes of Mewtwo, Mew, and the three Legendary Birds have not been allowed in most official matches due to the clear advantages they hold over their brethren in terms of statistics. Each new generation of Pokémon games has brought a new crop of Legendary Pokémon that are all sent straight to the ban list....

Shadow Pokémon first invaded Pokémon GO in July 2019, but the origins of these creatures dates back to Nintendo’s GameCube era. Shadow Pokémon have a fittingly dark backstory tied to Pokémon’s villainous teams, and in Pokémon GO, it seems they’ve also got a secret power up their shadowy sleeves. Last July, the Pokémon GO Team Rocket update added Team GO Rocket to the game. This mobile twist on the classic evil team has been involved in various live events since its introduction, stealing resources from PokéStops and battling players who challenge its members....

Niantic has announced a new feature called Adventure Sync that’s coming soon to Pokemon Go on iOS and Android.

Update 11/1: This post has been updated with information about the Adventure Sync feature rollout and how it works....

PC manufacturers seem to be dropping like flies at present. Shortly after Sony confirmed it was selling its PC business and Vaio brand, LG is rumored to be planning its own exit from traditional PCs, to focus on smartphones, tablets and ‘convertible’ PCs (touchscreen Windows tablets that flip round into a laptop). Other manufacturers are witnessing falling sales, prices and profits – with The Guardian calculating that the average profit per PC in the third quarter of 2013 fell to just £14....

Apple today announced that it will be holding its annual music festival across 10 days during the month of September in London. Previously known as the iTunes Festival, this year’s show is known as the “Apple Music Festival” in reference the recently launched Apple Music service. It is also notably shorter than the typical 30 days of concerts. Pharrell Williams, One Direction, Florence + The Machine and Disclosure will be the headlining acts at this year’s festival, which takes place from September 19th to September 28th....

Philips is a reliable brand for many people regarding televisions, and its smart TV lineup provides excellent value for its price. Smart TVs, much like smartphones, require an Internet connection for all their functionalities, and a smart TV that is not connected to the internet does not mean much to the end consumer. Unfortunately, this is an issue that has troubled some Philips TV users. It fails when they try to connect their Philips smart TV to a WiFi connection....

Getting Started With Pithos ​Start the application by searching for it in the Dash if you’re running Ubuntu or Mint Menu if you’re running Mint.

With the recent launch of the Nintendo Switch, all eyes have been on the newest gaming platform out of Japan with its experimental control setup and its longstanding fan-favorite franchises, like Zelda, but now that it’s finally hit store shelves (with a somewhat divided reception), the focus is beginning to turn to the next offerings of its competitors, meaning the console wars between Sony’s PlayStation and Microsoft’s Xbox could be on the verge of heating up again....

Shiny Heatran is here! For a limited time only, Pokémon Go players have a chance to get a Shiny Heatran in Tier 5 Raids from January 7, 2020 to February 4, 2020. Legendary Pokémon can’t hold gyms, so they’re primarily used for their offensive prowess. Unfortunately, Heatran falls short compared to the attacking power of other Fire-type Pokémon, such as the legendary bird, Moltres or Generation V Ghost/Fire-type, Chandelure. That being said, players should definitely grind out these Tier 5 Raids in order to get the illustrious Shiny Heatran, which is a great opportunity to catch a Pokémon that might not be available for a long time....

Pokémon Sword & Shield are the first games in the series to include a Dark-type Gym, even though Dark-type Pokémon were introduced twenty years ago. Pokémon Gold & Silver first added Dark-type Pokémon back in ‘99 alongside the new Steel-type Pokémon as a means of balancing out the battle system. In Pokémon Red & Blue, the Psychic-types dominated the game due to the fact that their only weakness was Bug-type Pokémon during an era when the bugs were incredibly weak....

Apple SVP Phil Schiller has conducted a lengthy interview with Engadget, ahead of the launch of the iPhone XR. The new iPhone went up for preorder on Friday and remains in good supply so far today, but analysts believe it will ultimately prove to be the bestselling model out of the XR, XS and XS Max. The interview tackles two areas of the iPhone XR debut that have been causing quite a stir in the wider Apple community; why exactly is it called ‘XR’ and the quality of its less-than-1080p display …...

The CarPlay situation has been murky. Since being announced in the spring, most manufacturers have been quiet on when CarPlay equipment will actually be available to purchase. Pioneer is the first company to deliver on its promise, adding CarPlay as an update to its aftermarket dashboard panels (unless you count Ferrari’s integration into its high-end Ferrari California T). Existing Pioneer device owners may not need to purchase any extras, as the CarPlay update is free for supported devices....

Pioneer is launching a new accessory called Rayz Rally that amplifies audio calls from your iPhone over a pocket-sized speaker. Rayz Rally connects to the iPhone through the Lightning port and doesn’t require a separate battery to work. Pioneer is marketing Rayz Rally as the solution to turn the iPhone into a conference speaker during phone calls rather than relying on the built-in speakerphone mode in noisy environments. Prior to the iPhone 7, you could connect the iPhone to an AUX speaker over the headphone jack, but Lightning is the only wired solution without the 3....

If 2016 showed us anything, it’s that video game films still have trouble connecting with audiences and critics. Warcraft, Ratchet & Clank, and Assassin’s Creed all struggled at the box office, despite ardent fan followings, while the wild success of The Angry Birds Movie was likely due to its kid appeal. That doesn’t mean studios aren’t still pushing game adaptations forward, though, with a new Tomb Raider around the corner and a Five Nights at Freddy’s adaptation in the works....
