The current free Timed Research in *Pokémon GO* has three stages. You’ll choose one of three paths based on your favorite starter Pokémon. Here’s a breakdown of the tasks and rewards for each path, plus a look at which one offers the most benefits for battling.
It’s true that not everyone plays as Vex, so the delay of the update might be disappointing for players who want improvements to *their* preferred characters. The update was planned to improve a lot of things, including class mods, gear, and shields, specifically to make melee builds more effective and fix issues with other characters. Plus, it was going to include requested fixes for stability, performance, and general gameplay. So, while the delay is frustrating, it’s understandable given the scope of changes planned for *Borderlands 4*.
Previous *Pokemon* games required players to find a specific NPC, like the Name Rater, to give nicknames to their Pokemon. *Legends: Z-A* simplifies this by letting players nickname their Pokemon directly, making it much easier.

Last month, Insomniac Games shared details about how this clawed, often-gritty hero will play very differently from their web-slinging predecessor.
In *Boruto: Two Blue Vortex*, Naruto isn’t shown at his peak. The creators, Kishimoto and Ikemoto, emphasize his weakened state and past glory, making him depend on the newer generation of ninjas from Konoha. This shift sees him mentoring Boruto, Sarada, and Himawari, a development that many dedicated fans find both expected and unsettling.
Honestly, battle royale feels a little past its prime in 2025, but it’s still massively popular! Millions of us are still jumping into these huge maps, trying to survive the shrinking zones of electricity, storms, and gas. I was really excited when Battlefield 6 came out – the story mode was good, and the multiplayer was fantastic. But we all knew they had a battle royale mode up their sleeve, and I’m really curious to see what they do with it.
