Pokemon Gift Guide Christmas 2022: Pokemon Video Games
VGC’s Pokémon Scarlet and Violet review called the games the most feature-rich Pokémon titles in years, but also noted that they were held back by technical issues.
“The huge expansion and changes to the single-player campaign are great, the size of the world and the joy of exploration are the best in the series, and the new Pokemon and battle mechanics introduced all sing,” we wrote. “However, it’s just impossible to shake the thought of how much better the game would feel if it was on more powerful hardware, or simply ran acceptably on Switch.”
Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl are also out on Nintendo Switch, giving players the chance to play remakes of the Nintendo DS classics.

Pokemon action figures have been a key part of the Pokemon toy line since it first launched in the late 90s. However, today’s toys are more detailed and poseable.
The range includes a selection of some of the most popular Pokemon in the series as 6-inch action figures, including Charizard, Articuno, Rayquaza, Lucario and more. Many of the figures have more than 15+ points of articulation, making them some of the most detailed figures in the history of the Pokemon franchise.
Smaller figures of Pokemon, including multi-packs of the Eeveelution line, the Blastoise line, and the Venasaur line are also available.
