For sure, you have already heard or seen the viral rumor saying that the renowned cookie brand Oreo is collaborating with the phenomenal anime “Pokémon.”
Well, the post says that the unveiling will not happen until this February, but by the looks of all the clues, it is obvious that Oreo is tying up with “Pokémon.”
For those of you who have not yet heard the news, Oreo is soon launching its collab with “Pokémon” this February in selected markets such as Singapore and Malaysia. Photo leaks suggest that there will be a Choco Banana Oreo flavor that features Pikachu on the brand’s bright yellow packaging.
There should be no wonder that Oreo decided to partner with “Pokémon” in its efforts to gain more followers, as “Pokémon” is a franchise that has given rise not just to anime shows but also to games.
As a matter of fact, there are over a hundred “Pokémon” games right now, with online encyclopediae even saying that there are over 300 million “Pokémon” games sold worldwide. Whoa!
In this post, we’ll feed more of your cravings with “Pokémon” games as we list the best and most delightful “Pokémon” games to play on Nintendo 3DS, which stands as the best console to play this franchise on. Let’s begin.
The Winner: ‘Pokémon X And Y’
We are not going to stall you any longer. We’ll start the list with the winner. Clinching the top spot is “Pokémon X and Y.”
Developed by Game Freak, and published by Nintendo and The Pokémon Company for the 3DS, “Pokémon X and Y” are role-playing video games following the journey of a young trainer as they train and battle their Pokémons against the baleful schemes of Team Flare, a criminal organization in these games.
“Pokémon X and Y” has 72 new Pokémons, with new features such as the new Fairy-type, character customization, updated training and battle mechanics – “Mega Evolution,” to be specific – and completely rendered polygonal three-dimensional graphics distinct from the spires in the previous generations.
The Rest Of The Best
‘Pokémon Sun And Moon’
What a captivating name. Well, the runner-up on this list of the most enjoyable “Pokémon” games to play on Nintendo 3DS is “Pokémon Sun and Moon.”
“Pokémon Sun and Moon” are also role-playing games. But this time, they follow a young Pokémon trainer’s journey across the Alola region – a place based on Hawaii – to complete the challenges on the island, and thwart the evil schemes of Team Skull and the Aether Foundation. Players also get to challenge various other trainers.
There are 81 new Pokémons in this game.
‘Pokémon Ultra Sun And Moon’
“Pokémon Ultra Sun And Moon” is “Pokémon Sun and Moon,” but taken to the next level. Similar to the previous item on this list, the game follows the journey of a young trainer in Alola. However, it differs from the former because of its alternate storyline, and new gameplay features, new characters, new Pokémons and new Pokémon forms. The game will allow you to see new forms of Necrozoma, a legendary Pokémon, which is also its mascot.
‘Pokémon Omega Ruby And Alpha Sapphire’
Be sure not to be confused by the several titles of Pokémon games. You might be thinking of playing a specific title but end up playing another. But that’s okay. This is why PVP Live is here for you.
“Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire” are remakes of the 2002 role-playing games “Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire” from Game Boy Advance, from 2014. Now on Nintendo 3DS, the games also include features from “Pokémon Emerald.”
Some of the new features this game introduces include Pokémons Groudon and Kyogre’s Primal Reversions, together with new Mega Evolutions for past Pokémons such as Latios and Latias, which are the Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, respectively. You can also use them to fly around Hoenn, a region in the Pokémon world. As you fly around on Latios or Latias, players also get to encounter what’s referred to as the “mirage spots.”
‘Pokémon Art Academy’
Most of the “Pokémon” games you’ve read above are about battling using your Pokémon. “Pokémon Art Academy” is a Nintendo 3DS game that gives a breath of fresh air.
Not a battle game per se, “Pokémon Art Academy” is an educational drawing game from Headstrong Games and Nintendo.
This game teaches players how to draw different Pokémons through 40 advancing lessons. The game isn’t flat as players progress through three various skill levels – Novice, Apprentice, and Graduate – all while learning and recognizing new techniques and art concepts.
‘Pokémon Picross’
Things only get more exciting as we go down further into this list. “Pokémon Picross” also isn’t a battle game but a freemium puzzle video game featuring various Pokémons. So, if you want to exercise your brain, this is the game to play.
Taking a cue from nonogram puzzles, wherein players must use numbers on a grid to determine which areas to fill and not to fill in, “Pokémon Picross” even adds twists, such as when a puzzle is finished, you are rewarded with a Pokémon based on the puzzle you’ve just solved.
Furthermore, these Pokémons are tied to the game’s features. For instance, Electric-type Pokémons slow down the timer, and Fire-type Pokémons automatically fill in particular areas on the grid in a cross-shape pattern.
The Nintendo 3DS is a foldable handheld video game console unveiled in 2010. The direct successor to the Nintendo DS, this console has a system that features backward compatibility with video games on the Nintendo DS.
“Pokémon” video games are developed by Game Freak, as well as published by Nintendo and The Pokémon Company within the “Pokémon” media franchise.
