According to official lore, there are several Pokémon that were once human in the franchise. This extends from older Generation 1 creatures all the way to more recent additions to the series. Players who read the games’ texts thoroughly already know that there are several terrifying Pokédex entries in , as well as some very odd ones. By reading these small descriptions of certain species throughout the franchise’s many years, it is possible to discover that, for instance, the beautiful Gorebyss is actually a cruel creature that drains the body fluids from its prey’s body until nothing but a husk is left.
Alternatively, Greavard has one of the saddest Pokédex entries in , mentioning that this is the reborn spirit of a wild dog that never interacted with a human. There is much to learn about the world of by reading Pokédex entries, and some of these bits of information actually reveal that there are species that were once human and somehow became twisted into creatures. A few of these are less impressive than others, but some are absolutely sinister – so much so that their entire existence lies in the fact that they were once human.

One of the first Pokémon to actually have been human is Gastly. While this Gen 1 Pokémon is decades old, the first mention of it having souls as a component of its body happened in Gen 7. In the Pokédex entry registered by , it is said that the gas emanating from a graveyard was possessed by grievances of the deceased, thus becoming Gastly.
To further back that information, the Pokédex entry states that, while 95% of its body is made of poisonous gas, the remaining 5% are souls of those who deceased from it. It seems like, while Gastly is mostly composed of gas, as it has been since its release, part of its existence relies on human souls.
Another human-based Pokémon is Sandygast, which was only introduced Gen 7. Although the Pokédex registered by entry mentions it has a connection to deceased humans, this only becomes more apparent in the entry. The game states that Sandygast is the result of a sand mound becoming possessed after being left.
In Gen 8, Sandygast’s Pokédex entry in mentions that what possesses this mound is a collective number of grudges of the dead. The most likely species to hold grudges are humans, therefore, this creature once had a human form, before becoming a sentient pile of sand.
One of the most popular creatures in the series, Gengar, was also once a human. The final evolution to Gastly is mostly known for casting curses and haunting others – in addition to making environments colder. Nevertheless, there is a mention of its humanoid form in the entry registered by .

For many players, is best when there is a focus on roleplaying to fully let the immersion of becoming V take over and get lost in the world of Night City and its surrounding areas. The intricate details in the game, as well as the beautiful, yet dark, graphics help to make this possibility a reality. Just walking down the street and listening in on NPC conversations or having a seat at a bar and ordering a drink can all help not only make the game come more alive but also allow players a chance to escape from the real world for a bit and enjoy a different environment in the dystopian future.
It’s easy to think of Denzel Washington as the best actor of his generation, and in conversation with the greatest actors who have ever lived. He already has two Oscars, and has deserved many more. And with the recent release of The Equalizer 3 on Netflix, it’s the perfect time to look back on his body of work and legitimately pose the question: Is he also the greatest action star of his generation?

Since 1992, players have debated about the best characters in the game, and fans are more passionate than ever about which character deserves first place. Many players pick their racer based on design or personality, but the factors that make the best characters memorable aren't the same as those that make them the greatest on the racetrack. Speed, acceleration rate, handling, and character weight are all components that factor into the science behind which character is the best to play.
In , Cal Kestis makes a return as a Jedi who is much more powerful and skilled than ever before, and with the game's best outfits, players can ensure he's more stylish, too. The game features a far larger list of clothing options than the prequel, and as the protagonist explores several planets, he'll come across a wide variety of pieces to mix and match. But with so many different clothing pieces to unlock throughout their journey, it can become overwhelming for players to determine which outfits are actually the best.
Story-driven games are still as popular as ever, offering players a chance to lose themselves in a fictional world that's less passive than watching a movie or TV show. Where multiplayer games can bring people together, single player narrative-centric games give users a chance to step into the shoes of someone else to experience something entirely new across any genre they can think of, whether it be horror, drama, or even romance.
Being at the forefront of the franchise, the protagonists of the series can make or break a game, and some characters certainly rank better than others in the grand scheme of things. With each having a distinct personality, a unique story, and an important role in the game, they're each integral to the world of in their own special ways — but when it comes to the enjoyment of the player, there are some prominent front-runners (and some equally prominent underdogs).
The original Dragon's Dogma from developer Capcom took some time to find its audience, but it eventually became a cult favorite in the years following its 2012 release. As Capcom's first attempt at an open-world action RPG, it blended a swords and sorcery high-fantasy conceit with the developer's pedigree for delivering fast and epic action from similar games like Monster Hunter and Devil May Cry. But with the upcoming sequel, the developers are looking to up the ante in many ways -- even including ideas that wouldn't have worked for the first game. In a recent issue of Play magazine (issue 35), which is on sale now, game director Hideaki Itsuno took some time to reflect on the original game and what he hopes to achieve with the long-awaited sequel -- and how exactly he came up with the sequel's massively upgraded world.
