Mythic Quest Now on Apple TV+ February 7, 2020

We don’t typically talk about television or films on this website because let’s face it, so little of that media actually talks about video games. Mythic Quest is different. Created by the It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia team with input from Ubisoft, Mythic Quest tells the fictional story of an MMO developer’s quest to release their hit game’s first expansion. Here’s the trailer.

If you’re already an Apple TV + subscriber you can watch nine episodes (at around 30 minutes each). If you have an active iTunes account but aren’t an Apple TV+ subscriber, you can watch the first two episodes of the show for free. You can watch the show on an Apple device like the iPhone, iPad, Mac or Apple TV. I can confirm that the show supports 4K HDR at 24p if you are using high end supported equipment.

First Details of Pokemon Home Revealed January 28, 2020

The Pokémon Home service was announced last year and speculation has been flying back and forth about it ever since. Today, The Pokemon Company have finally activated their Official Pokémon Home Website.

For those of you who want to know the specific details about the service here you go.

• Pokémon Home will support the entire National Dex.
• Pokémon Home integrates with all four of the Switch titles, Pokemon Go and Pokemon Bank.
• Pokémon can be moved freely back and forth between Let’s Go Pikachu and Let’s Go Eevee. However, Pokémon moved into Sword and Shield from either Let’s Go cannot be transferred back into Let’s Go.

• There will be paid and unpaid account options. Only Paid accounts can integrate with Pokémon Bank.

• Price for a Premium account will cost $15 US a year. You can also pay $3 US for 1 month or $5 US for 3 months.
• Users with Free accounts will be greatly limited as to how many Pokémon they can store in Home (30 Pokémon free vs 6K for a Paid account) and won’t be able to use features like the Judge Function.
• Even Free users will be able to Trade and earn Mystery Gifts using Pokémon Home from their Smartphones.

After reading the Mystery Pass details I’m concerned this may be the beginning of the end for the Pokémon Pass app, as it looks like Pokémon Home is capable of replicating all its functionality.

Pokémon Home is launching February 2020. You’ll be able to access it on the Nintendo Switch and Smartphones.
