(In a dry, sarcastic tone, à la Jimmy Carr) Ah, Pokémon GO, the game that’s been keeping middle-aged men walking in circles around their neighborhoods for years. And now, they’re at it again with a new season, because what’s a year without a few dozen Pokémon-related “events” to keep the masses distracted?
But seriously, folks, the new season is called Dual Destinies, and it’s got a black and white theme. Oh, how edgy. It’s like they raided a Hot Topic store and said, “You know what’s deep? Yin and yang, man.” (in a Rowan Atkinson-esque voice) I mean, it’s not like they’re trying to be profound or anything. It’s just a game, for crying out loud!
Now, I know what you’re thinking. “What’s the point of this season?” Well, apart from the usual “catch ’em all” nonsense, they’re introducing a new Pokémon called Little Sinister. (in a Ricky Gervais-esque tone) Oh, great, because what we really needed was another Pokémon with a name that sounds like a bad 80s metal band.
And, of course, it comes in two types: “antique” and “phony.” (chuckling) Ah, the authenticity of a Pokémon. I mean, who needs actual rarity when you can just slap a “stamp of authenticity” on it and call it a day? It’s like they’re trying to create a Pokémon-themed version of the art world. (in a Lee Evans-esque voice) “Oh, this Pokémon is a limited edition, one-of-a-kind masterpiece. I’ll give you a million dollars for it.” (sarcastically) Yeah, sure, mate.
Now, I know some of you are thinking, “But what about the gameplay?” Well, let me tell you, they’ve got some exciting new features. (in a deadpan tone) You’ll be able to hatch red, blue, and shiny Basculin from 7km eggs. Wow, I can barely contain my excitement. And, of course, the shape you get will depend on where your eggs hatch. (in a sarcastic tone) Oh, the thrill of not knowing whether you’ll get a red or blue Basculin. It’s like the Pokémon equivalent of a box of chocolates – you never know what you’re gonna get!
And, finally, they’re introducing Gigantamax Lapras in the Max Battles. (in a Rowan Atkinson-esque voice) Ah, because what’s a Pokémon game without a few dozen iterations of the same Pokémon? It’s like they’re trying to create a Pokémon-themed version of the telephone game. (in a Ricky Gervais-esque tone) “You know, I had a Pikachu, but then I got a Pikachu with a hat, and then I got a Pikachu with a hat and sunglasses…”.
All joking aside, the Dual Destinies season of Pokémon GO starts on December 3 and will last until March 4, 2024. (in a dry tone) So, if you’re into that sort of thing, I’m sure you’ll be thrilled to spend the next few months walking around in circles, trying to catch ’em all. (in a cheeky tone) Just don’t forget to wear your yin and yang-themed outfit while you’re at it.
What do you think, folks? Are you excited about the new season of Pokémon GO? Let us know in the comments! (in a Lee Evans-esque voice) And if you’re not excited, well, that’s okay too. We won’t judge you… much.
Pokémon GO’s Next Season: Dual Destinies Unveiled
