App Annie has put out their mobile games report for Q2 2020, and once again we see that Pokemon GO is killing it. According to the company's report, Pokemon GO made #4 overall in player spend for the quarter, and came in 8th for monthly active users. Pretty damn good for a game that's 4 years old!
In this video, Did You Know Gaming takes a look at how Pokemon was changed around the world. To explore these Pokemon regional differences, we not only looked through the games themselves, but also interviewed the game's original localizers and translators for exclusive information.

The Pokemon merch train never stops. There's always something new in the works, and today we have first news on the next items seeing release in Japan.

Following that, Lovisia is releasing a series of Pokemon keychain charms and pouches. The lineup includes Eevee, Pikachu, Mew, and Pysduck. You can check out the various designs here.
