Using cheat codes in games such as Pokémon Black 2 is hardly new. Let’s face it, Pokémon games can be tough at times, and so getting a little help is not something you should feel guilty about.

The Pokemon Company almost always posts a April Fools joke every year on the first of April, that is part of how Pokemon Sleep came to be a mobile game gamers could play on the go. Pokemon GO started out as a April Fools joke where on the day, people could see little Pokemon pop up on their Google maps, everyone loved it and started driving around to different locations to find said Pokemon. After The Pokemon Company discovered how much people loved this idea, Pokemon GO was born.
Ever since, The Pokemon Company has participated in April Fools pranks. This years joke is especially funny as it involved Pokemon Sleep. This game just released last year in 2023, allowing players to track their sleep and gain Pokemon in their sleep, including hunt for Shiny Pokemon with the better their sleep schedule is. This game has been one many fans have loved, but according to Video Game Chronicles the company released a prank that the next Championship will be for Pokemon Sleep.
After watching the teaser video they put together, it shows someone winning the Pokemon Sleep Championship for doing the best at competitive sleeping…which is quite hilarious. While this would be an amazing championship to have, we all can tell this is clearly their April Fools joke.
We very much so doubt that because of this fake championship video we will see a Pokemon Sleep Championship happen like it did for Pokemon GO. Nevertheless, this prank is one of the best ones to date.

Though Applin has already received plenty of attention in the latest generation of Pokemon games, one fan of the franchise has recently shared their own alternative design for the species which reimagines it as an Ice and Dragon-type instead. The concept of regional variant Pokemon has spurred plenty of similar fan art since it was introduced in the Gen 7 games, and many of the interesting new Pokemon designs seen in the most recent Pokemon titles have further fueled artists' imaginations.

A free retro Nintendo game emulator is now live on the Apple App Store, and because of recent changes made to Apple's app review guidelines, it's actually permitted to be on there. Whether Nintendo will take kindly to it is another matter, given its stance that "supporting emulation also supports the illegal piracy of our products."
Today's Nintendo Indie World Showcase may have been a letdown for Hollow Knight: Silksong hopefuls, but it was overall a pretty great show, and included the news that a Hades-like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles roguelike is coming to Switch as a timed console exclusive in July.

Word on the street is that Nintendo won’t release the long-awaited successor to the Switch until next year. As such, the company needs to let fans know what they'll be able to play on the current console over the coming months. To help pad out the schedule, Nintendo has a bunch of indie game releases lined up. We will find out what some of those are during the next Indie World showcase, which is set for April 17 at 10 AM ET.
