Some news - today I’m launching One More Catch, an independent publication covering Pokémon Go and the next generation of Pokémon games: @onemorecatch.site

Been a while since we had some video game based questions on University Challenge. Tonight there were three questions about @expedition33.bsky.social

For the past few weeks I've been fascinated by an emerging TikTok trend of 3D polygonal girls who explain engineering and societal manipulation to you. If you've seen them too, of you're like... what? I've written this for you: discernable-trend.ghost.io/whats-with-t...

Desperation stage here! As mentioned on the podcast, I was literally at an Xbox appointment at Gamescom when the green X25 Series X consoles went up for preorder, and they were gone by the time I left. If anyone sees them again, or preordered one and no longer wants it, please do let me know.

Probably my favourite ‘local news angle’ in games yet

A Ukrainian game development lab part funded by the US government was damaged by a Russian drone strike last week. Alexey Izvalov, a regional organiser of Global Game Jam, told me what happened in Kropyvnytskyi for this week’s VGIM. www.videogamesindustrymemo.com/p/ukrainian-...

Bloody hell

Big announcement - a Cardiff specific news service. @propercardiffnews.bsky.social Full details in the video and you can subscribe in the comments. Bloody hell this is exciting (and terrifying).

Pokémon Go now rated PEGI 16 following digital game classification update in Europe, citing "in-game purchases (includes random items)":

I've got a column coming about the "core team" thing but the codev/exdev/outsourcing framework that Fuse Games uses is like--the thing?! that I've been trying to describe?! For a year?! There's a lot to *improve* on this model but it's a way to distribute risk on games made by hundreds of people.

Recommendations for a cheap Switch Sports Resort pre-order plz

Have you encountered a Minior in Pokémon Go yet? www.onemorecatch.site/pokemon-go-m...

If anyone else is reviewing Phantom Blade Zero send me a DM pleeease

Last month we lost our jobs. This month we made new ones. Introducing X BUTTON: an independent gaming network from three ex-IGN employees. A new weekly Nintendo podcast! A new weekly video game podcast! And that’s just the start, but we can’t do it without your help! www.patreon.com/cw/XButtonShow

M. Night Shyamalan's YouTube channel (which is something he has now) came out of nowhere with this great line.

Well, I’ve had a good run of buying new consoles on the day one (Which, ironically, will be the cheapest time to get a PS6 at the rate things are going)

Lots of interesting little things going on in Pokémon Go this week! (And remember, if you're a Pokémon Go player and / or want a roundup of Pokémon news and One More Catch site posts, signing up to mailing list means you get this in your inbox every Sunday ✉️)

Nine #Welsh game studios attended Tokyo Game Show to showcase their upcoming projects last month. I reached out to them to hear how it all went. Visit the full article at WalesInGames.com to read their thoughts! Diolch / Thank you to all I spoke to! walesingames.com/2026/10/15/w...

Applied for a job at the uni library as a student, and during the interview they asked whether I minded early shifts. I said not really - so was put on 5am starts four days a week. Lasted maybe a week.

We also published £1000 of freelance writing, if you care about your subscription helping to support a wider ecosystem of critical work

Trying a new tack with this: did you or anyone you know publish a zine at all related to games or gaming culture in the early to mid 2010s? "Zine" can be interpreted broadly as any self-published low budget publication.

Legends: Z-A is great. After my Switch 2 took a bath, it's the only Pokémon game I've been tempted to go back and replay.
