Pokémon Shuffle Mobile
The Beta for Pokémon Shuffle Mobile is now currently live in Japan, and has come with several interesting tidbits. As opposed to being a directly straight port, there are a few differences. First, the Beta only goes up to Stage 30. Next, for the Special Stages, it currently has the Mew and Rotom event stages running, as well as the Meowth one. However, the stages can be locked if you have already played a one-per-day event and you may have to spend Jewels to unlock them. In addition to that, the Mew stage costs 2 hearts to play rather than the usual 1. Finally, there's a new Present Box option which shows you the items you receive as gifts when you check in. We'll bring more as it comes, including whether these details are just for the Beta or if there will be less parity between the 3DS and Mobile versions.

Today, we are covering a Pokémon introduced in the third generation. It lives deep in the sea where no light ever filters down. It lights up its small fishlike tail to attract prey. It uses the tail to attract prey, then swallows the prey whole with its large, gaping mouth. This Pokémon swims by wiggling its slender body like a snake. Huntail's presence went unnoticed by people for a long time because it lives at extreme depths in the sea. This Pokémon's eyes can see clearly even in the murky dark depths of the ocean So here it is, the eighty-seventh entry, Huntail.

Who's That Pokémon
Today marks the eighty-fourth entry into the Generation VI competitive field with a Kanto Pokémon. These entries are created by the visitors for the visitors and then compiled by our writers Miror, Archangel, jesusfreak94, Ragnarok, KillerDraco & UR2L8. To get involved, Click here for the discussion forum
Today, we are covering a Pokémon introduced in the first generation. When a Slowpoke went hunting in the sea, its tail was bitten by a Shellder. That made it evolve into Slowbro. Slowbro's tail has a Shellder firmly attached with a bite. As a result, the tail can't be used for fishing anymore. This causes Slowbro to grudgingly swim and catch prey instead. An attached Shellder won't let go because of the tasty flavor that oozes out of its tail. So here it is, the eighty-fourth entry, Slowbro and it's Mega Evolution, Mega Slowbro.

As part of the initiative to improve the site's usability that has been going on for the past few months and will continue to hopefully roll out over the next year, a much-requested change has been made to the updates we make on the main index. While the main index will remain completely unchanged, it is now possible to be able to click each individual news post title to get a direct link to it. All news posts created so far in 2015 have retroactively been made a part of this system and can be found within our archive. If you don't wish to use these individual links then you will see no change compared to how it has always been. If you notice a bug with this system, let me know and it'll be resolved as soon as possible
