How to watch the Pokémon Presents livestream on Wednesday

The Pokémon Company had plenty to announce at a livestream event last week, but it will have more to share on Wednesday, June 24.

The company will hold its next Pokémon Presents livestream at 9 a.m. ET on Wednesday on YouTube. You can also come back to this page, which will livestream the event below.

“We have (more) Pokémon news,” The Pokémon Company wrote in a caption accompanying the livestream page. “You want (more) Pokémon news.”

Details are scant on what The Pokémon Company has in the works for Wednesday, and the game developer has been quiet on its plans, but it’s somewhat surprising it has more to share after it made a host of major announcements last week.

During its first Pokémon Presents last week, the game company said the wildly popular Nintendo 64 title Pokémon Snap is getting a sequel. The new game, called New Pokémon Snap, will be available on the Nintendo Switch and allow players to snap pictures of a variety of Pokémon in their natural habitat. The company hasn’t said when the game will launch.

Additionally, The Pokémon Company announced a free mobile app called Pokémon Smile that aims at helping children do a better job at brushing their teeth. I took the app for a spin with my two sons and while they liked the idea of “saving” Pokémon from harmful bacteria, it quickly lost its appeal.

Another game, called Pokémon Cafe Mix, is launching on both iOS and Android, as well as the Nintendo Switch, on Wednesday. It’s a free-to-play game that places players in the role of a café owner that Pokémon both work at and patronize. As players solve more puzzles, they unlock more perks to improve their cafés and attract more Pokémon.

Aside from that, The Pokémon Company also used the event to announce a digital-only Pokémon Go Fest, a two-day event for Pokémon Go players to find new characters. The company also said that The Isle of Armor, the first part of the Pokémon Sword Expansion Pass and Pokémon Shield Expansion Pass is also available.

Be sure to check back tomorrow morning for all the details on the second Pokémon Presents. And watch it live here:

Pokémon Nuzlocke: rules, tips, origin, and more

The Pokémon series has been around for nearly 30 years, so it's no surprise that its fan base has quite a large age range. While the franchise does have complicated mechanics in place — a vast knowledge of Pokémon states is needed to play competitively and shiny Pokémon hunting has been broken down into a science instead of a surprise — but, as a whole, the series' story and overall difficultly has always been family-friendly and aimed toward a younger audience. This can leave older, more experienced Pokémon trainers wanting more when they cruise through a new Pokémon title.

Pokémon has never had an adjustable difficulty setting, but over the years, players have figured out how to up the challenge by creating their own self-imposed rules. The most popular challenge taken on by gamers of all skill levels is the Nuzlocke challenge, a set of rules popularized by web comics, streamers and content creators in the past decade that adds a bit of spice to the average Pokémon playthrough.

The best Pokémon games, ranked from best to worst

For more than 25 years, developer Game Freak has found a way to reinvent the Pokémon franchise for each new generation of gamers. Both brand-new Pokémon trainers and seasoned Pokémon masters are captivated by these cute (and sometimes scary) little monsters. Maybe it's the drive to catch 'em all that keeps players coming back. Or perhaps it's how adorable these little pocket monsters can be. Whatever the reason, players continue to return to or start exploring the Pokémon franchise.

Between new main series titles that bring new regions and Pokémon into the mix -- like Pokemon Legends: Arceus, Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, remakes, and spinoffs -- there's a massive library of Pokémon games to choose from. Everyone has their favorites, but some are arguably better than others (just like Nintendo's long-running Metroid and Legend of Zelda series). We divided every Pokémon game into a couple of categories and ranked them accordingly.

The hype around PSVR 2 has largely died off just a year after its launch, though there's no denying it’s a cool piece of tech. Making big strides from the original PSVR, the latest headset from Sony offers better graphics, improved tracking capabilities, and introduced the world to the sleek new Sense controllers, which make it easier than ever to interact with your virtual world.

But, like all new pieces of tech, PSVR 2 isn't without its issues. From faulty Sense controllers to blurry images, here's a look at the most common PSVR 2 issues and how to fix them. Many of these steps will also work with PSVR, though note the menu navigation might be slightly different.
