Pokemon Origins Episode 1 Rereleased on Pokemon TV September 13, 2016

Fans of the first generation Pokémon games found a lot to like when Nintendo and The Pokémon Company released the four-part animated series Pokémon Origins in 2013.

Pokémon Origins was a traditionally animated retelling of Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue updated with new content from the Generation 6 games. All four parts were released for streamthrough the Pokémon TV app for smartphones and tablets just before Pokémon X and Pokémon Y were released, but only for a brief time.

Now, in anticipation for an all new animated adventure, Pokémon Generations, Pokémon Origins is available to stream through the Pokémon TV app. If you are on the fence about giving the app a download you can currently watch the first episode below.

If you like the series so much you would like to buy all of the episodes to watch whenever you’d like for yourselves your options might be limited. As far as I know, Pokémon Origins has not been released on Blu-Ray Disc but it was released in HD on iTunes.

Halo 5: Guardians Anvil’s Legacy Update and Windows 10 Forge Released September 9, 2016

Microsoft just released a major series of new updates and software to enhance the gameplay in Halo 5: Guardians yesterday.  Sit back and relax as we walk you through everything.

First up, Microsoft has released the Anvil’s Legacy Content Update, a major free patch for Halo 5: Guardians on the Xbox One.  Take a look.

If you want a more in depth look at the gameplay, here’s the official live stream with over two hours of gameplay.

The update weighs in at about 5.5GB, so you may need to free up some space on your Xbox One Hard Drive before patching your game.

You can read all the information about the update here.

The second major release is the standalone Forge map editor from Halo 5: Guardians for Windows 10. Some people prefer using a keyboard and mouse to make their unique creations and now players will be able to do exactly that.  The entire Halo 5 engine is included with Forge so modders will be able to test their new maps on the PC or Xbox One before releasing their content on Xbox Live.  Matchmaking isn’t allowed on PC, but maps can be tested by players on your friends list.

Just a friendly warning that system requirements for the PC Forge Editor are very steep, heck it requires at least 50GB of Hard Drive space just to install itself. Your PC must have a copy of Windows 10 with the Anniversary Update installed to download Forge from the Windows 10 Store.

The official Halo app can also be downloaded from the Windows 10 store free of charge but we (along with many others) have been unable to use it due to the fact it crashes immediatly upon startup.

Halo 5: Guardians is out now exclusively on Xbox One.
