How to watch the Pokémon Presents livestream on Wednesday

The Pokémon Company had plenty to announce at a livestream event last week, but it will have more to share on Wednesday, June 24.

The company will hold its next Pokémon Presents livestream at 9 a.m. ET on Wednesday on YouTube. You can also come back to this page, which will livestream the event below.

“We have (more) Pokémon news,” The Pokémon Company wrote in a caption accompanying the livestream page. “You want (more) Pokémon news.”

Details are scant on what The Pokémon Company has in the works for Wednesday, and the game developer has been quiet on its plans, but it’s somewhat surprising it has more to share after it made a host of major announcements last week.

During its first Pokémon Presents last week, the game company said the wildly popular Nintendo 64 title Pokémon Snap is getting a sequel. The new game, called New Pokémon Snap, will be available on the Nintendo Switch and allow players to snap pictures of a variety of Pokémon in their natural habitat. The company hasn’t said when the game will launch.

Additionally, The Pokémon Company announced a free mobile app called Pokémon Smile that aims at helping children do a better job at brushing their teeth. I took the app for a spin with my two sons and while they liked the idea of “saving” Pokémon from harmful bacteria, it quickly lost its appeal.

Another game, called Pokémon Cafe Mix, is launching on both iOS and Android, as well as the Nintendo Switch, on Wednesday. It’s a free-to-play game that places players in the role of a café owner that Pokémon both work at and patronize. As players solve more puzzles, they unlock more perks to improve their cafés and attract more Pokémon.

Aside from that, The Pokémon Company also used the event to announce a digital-only Pokémon Go Fest, a two-day event for Pokémon Go players to find new characters. The company also said that The Isle of Armor, the first part of the Pokémon Sword Expansion Pass and Pokémon Shield Expansion Pass is also available.

Be sure to check back tomorrow morning for all the details on the second Pokémon Presents. And watch it live here:

7 upcoming weird and wild video game adaptations that you should watch
Ulala dances her way to victory in Space Channel 5.

Movies and TV shows adapted from video games have a lengthy reputation for being downright awful, bizarre, and wacky. But sometimes, that actually helps it develop a campy and unique vibe that makes it oddly endearing and fun. But in recent years, there's been a new wave of video game adaptations that have become massive hits like The Last of Us and The Super Mario Bros. Movie -- causing some fans to wonder if the genre has reached new heights and is now a lucrative part of Hollywood.

But fear not, there's a whole lineup of offbeat, madcap, and ridiculous video game adaptations coming to streaming platforms and theaters, which are sure to continue the genre's reputation for being outlandish and over the top. From a forgotten Sega Dreamcast rhythm game to a universally-praised indie game that became the center of right-wing controversy, here are seven wild and weird video game adaptations making their way to the big and small screen.

How we test video game consoles

For a long time, video game hardware cycles were pretty straightforward. You’d only have to worry about three major video game systems and a handheld or two at any given time. It was possible to own pretty much every major piece of gaming tech released in a generation without going into debt.

The gaming hardware landscape has significantly changed in the 2020s, though. You’ve got consoles and their frequent upgrades, VR headsets, handheld PCs, cloud-streaming devices, quirky indie hardware, and much more. It can be extremely difficult to keep track of it all and know what’s worth buying. Luckily, you don’t have to; we’re here to help.
