An imaginative Pokemon fan recently put together a fake commercial for the ever-helpful Poke Mart Potions. The Pokemon franchise is largely centered around elementally empowered creatures battling one another, and injuries and lowered health meters are just part of the job for any aspiring Pokemon Trainer. If a Pokemon’s health is depleted completely, it faints and can no longer be used to battle until it is restored at the local Pokemon Center, but there are luckily several portable Pokemon items players can use to keep their critters in top fighting condition.
The most common and widely recognized of these items are Potions, which take the form of plastic spray bottles and are used to refill a Pokemon’s health bar either during a battle or out in the field in both the mainline Pokemon games and spin-offs like Pokemon GO. There are many different kinds of Potions, each one capable of restoring a greater amount of health, and players gain access to the stronger ones as they progress through a given Region. Potions can be found out in the wild in Item Balls, but trainers will most often purchase them from Poke Marts in the various towns and cities they come across.
Reddit user Ghinks recently imagined what advertising would be like in the Pokemon universe with a brief, fan-made Poke Mart commercial they posted to r/pokemon. This impressive advertisement is centered around the Potions found at the local Poke Mart, showing off their healing powers and featuring three color-coded variants: Basic (which is purple and restores 20 HP), Super (which is held in an orange bottle and has an effect ranging from 50 to 100 HP depending on the game), and Hyper (colored pink and capable of restoring up to 200 HP in the first six Pokemon generations and 120 HP afterword).
Creative Pokemon fans like Ghinks have crafted videos that envision what it might be like to live in the world of Nintendo’s ongoing series. One such example is PokeNational Geographic, a series of fan-made nature videos that follow certain Pokemon species in the style of a wildlife documentary. Others emulate found footage horror films, depicting chilling encounters with Ghost-type Pokemon like Gastly that the person behind the camera is lucky to escape unscathed.
Ghinks’ homemade Poke Mart Potion commercial is a quick, fun advertisement that could easily be played on in-universe televisions in the Pokemon games. Potions are among the most valuable healing items that a Pokemon trainer can have on hand during their journey, and Ghinks’ short video is another great example of the creativity that the long-running Pokemon franchise inspires in its ever-growing fanbase.
Pokemon is a franchise that needs no introduction. One of the most successful media

A new rumor suggests that the infamous Galactus of Marvel lore could be returning to Fortnite in a future event. Epic’s massively successful multiplayer battle royale has seen its fair share of equally successful crossovers, and Marvel has been a constant source of these since Black Widow and Star-Lord first appeared as playable character skins back in Chapter 1 Season 8. A vast array of heroes and villains from across the Marvel universe have dropped into Fortnite, often to promote a new MCU show or movie.
One talented Sonic the Hedgehog fan recently recreated the iconic loop-de-loop from Green Hill Zone in cake form. The Sonic the Hedgehog franchise has allowed players to speed through countless memorable locations over the years, but the original Green Hill Zone remains one of the most remembered and revisited levels in the franchise. This colorful oceanside paradise was the very first level of the original Sonic the Hedgehog game and set the tone for the rest of the series thanks to its bright visuals, catchy theme music, and signature loop-de-loops.
An old Weedle Pokemon card was recently found in a school bus from way back in 2001. Pokemon trading cards and other merchandise have been in circulation since the franchise first took the world by storm in the late 90s, and items from those early days can fetch a large amount of money in online auctions and other outlets. Some of the rarest Pokemon cards are valued at over $5 million, making them highly sought after by collectors and nostalgic fans alike.
A Pokemon player has successfully managed to transfer the rare Mew from Space World 1997 into the modern-day Pokemon Scarlet and Violet games. The Pokemonuniverse contains many rare and legendary creatures, and the powerful Psychic feline Mew may very well be one of the most elusive of all. Despite playing a major role in the lore of the original Pokemon Red and Blue games, Mew could not be encountered or captured in the base game without glitches or datamining. This would be the case for every mainline Pokemon game until Generation 4’s Diamond and Pearl, which allowed players to import it from the Wii My Pokemon Ranch spin-off.
Fortnite has a wave of new Star Wars content planned across all of its connected game modes, with new missions and cosmetics being released in time for this year’s May the Fourth celebration. Fortnite and Star Wars first crossed over to promote Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker back in 2019, with the evil Emperor Palpatine announcing his resurrection in an in-game message. Character skins from the movie were also introduced, allowing Fortnite players to battle it out as Rey, Finn, Kylo Ren, and Zorii Bliss.
A talented Legend of Zeldafan recently demonstrated their cosplay skills with an impressive rendition of Princess Zelda from Twilight Princess. The characters of the Legend of Zelda series have taken on many different incarnations over the years, and this has naturally inspired players to dress up as them for fan conventions or simply just for fun. One particular popular cosplay source among Zelda fans is Twilight Princess, the 2006 mainline entry that was released on both the Nintendo GameCube and the then-new Nintendo Wii during the transition period between the two systems.
A teenager recently uncovered a rare LEGO octopus minifigure that was lost for the past 27 years. In 1997, a cargo ship containing thousands of LEGO pieces was caught in a storm 20 miles off Land’s End, Cornwall. This resulted in nearly five million LEGO pieces falling into the sea, with many of them being related to pirate or ocean exploration-based sets of the time.
AEW Fight Foreveris finally adding Samoa Joe, a former world champion, in its next DLC season. Even after AEW Fight Forever launched to mixed reviews last June, developer Yuke’s and publisher THQ Nordic have been adding new match types and playable wrestlers in its past three DLC seasons. It started with the tag team FTR shortly after the game’s release, followed by notable AEW performers like Anthony Bowens and Max Caster of The Acclaimed and currently reigning AEW Women's World Champion Toni Storm.
One imaginative Pokemon fan has created an interesting convergent design for Sudowoodo that gives the plant-mimicking Rock-type a more insectoid form. Every new generation of Pokemon adds new creatures to the franchise’s line-up, and later games would introduce variants for ones that already exist. Pokemon Sun and Moon introduced the concept of convergent Pokemon, alternate versions of certain monsters that live in a particular environment. For example, Wigglet is a relative of the popular Generation One critter Digglet that lives near sandy beaches instead of dirt-filled fields.
An artistically talented Pokemon fan with an affection for Eevee recently painted a series of portraits of the little critter deciding which evolution to take. Of all the titular creatures in the Pokemon series, Eevee remains one of the most popular and unique due to its branching evolutionary paths. There are currently eight different options for trainers to evolve their Eevee into, which are determined by either exposing the cute Evolution Pokemon to a certain elemental stone or fulfilling a particular status condition.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 contains several great Easter eggs, but one fan recently pointed out a missed opportunity to include a real-life tribute to one of Marvel’s greatest heroes. While Insomniac’s Spider-Man games are in a separate continuity from other recent Marvel titles like Marvel’s Avengers and Marvel’s Midnight Suns, they still feature clever nods to other famous heroes like Black Panther and Doctor Strange. While exploring the open world of New York City, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 players can visit the Wakanda Embassy and Avengers Tower — and can even pay their respects to late MCU actor Chadwick Boseman at the former.
A creative Pokemon player just designed an impressive Mega Evolution form for Flygon. There have been various new evolution types added to the Pokemon games over the years, and 2013’s Pokemon X and Y introduced the temporary but powerful Mega Evolutions. These transformations are triggered during battle by having the Pokemon in question hold a special Mega Stone, granting them a new form with enhanced stats and new abilities.
