When it comes to playing Pokémon Go, there are just some setbacks that don’t sit well with the game’s online community. The latest issue was discovered by a player after trading a Dynamax Pokémon with another and seeing the results after the trade had been completed. Shared on a Reddit thread in The Silph Road community, a player explained that after trading a Dynamax Pokémon with another, the Max Moves of that Pokémon had gone down to their base level. These are powerful moves a Dynamax Pokémon can use during a Max Battle, the latest feature to arrive during Pokémon Go‘s Max Out season. The investment for leveling up these Max Moves is relatively costly, and not being able to get these at full power after completing a trade is already not sitting well with the community.

We’re almost halfway through season 22 of Apex Legends, and that means changes are coming for different legends, weapons, and more.

As someone who prefers high-adrenaline rollercoasters over the teacups, visiting amusement parks can be thrilling and Planet Coaster 2 understands this well. Building your own park in the original Planet Coaster ******** entertaining eight years later, something Frontier Developments hopes to build upon with new water park rides, improved visuals, and better construction tools. I recently went hands-on with the PC version, and I'm confident the upcoming sequel will be worth the admission. Anyone familiar with Planet Coaster or Planet Zoo will feel right at home, and your goal ******** drawing in visitors to earn as much money as possible. This preview showcased two of the three upcoming modes - Sandbox Mode offers a pleasing level of freedom with unlimited cash for flat rides, rollercoasters, and more, while Career Mode feels designed as a gradual introduction to these gameplay mechanics. Starting with the Career Mode's third chapter, what follows is the type of strangely enjoyable challenge you'd only ever find in fiction. A rival theme park builder has bought land within your park and imposed unusual construction restrictions, which forces you to find creative workarounds. Career Mode uses a ranking system that swaps the original Planet Coaster's star rankings for up to four medals, and clearing the initial 'Bronze' challenges is unsurprisingly easy. This mission highlights the new water attractions well, which offer more excitement than the original game's log flumes. You can now set down pools and water slides wherever you like, adding some welcome variety. Slides always require a landing pool underneath them, or you can create a separate large pool for guests to use at their leisure. Just make sure you have enough lifeguards on duty. Surrounding them with lovely scenery increases a ride's prestige rating, though it's a slightly shallow approach as you can dump anything around those rides without consistent theming. As someone who struggles with creating interesting custom creations, using pre-designed rides via the blueprints system over making your own is undoubtedly helpful. However, some noticeably fiddly gameplay mechanics hamper this. Connecting your theme park guests to each ride requires laying down paths, yet they don't always connect despite stopping right in front of a ride or theme park entrance. It's slightly frustrating as I can't tell what I'm doing wrong in these moments. Thankfully, new paving methods like drawing and stamping tools make the wider process more convenient. Creating a park and letting things run isn't enough; you need staff and facilities, but wages and construction come at a cost. Powering up rides needs a delicate balance as placing generators too close to an attraction can reduce the prestige, but placing them further away means the mechanic needs longer to reach them. Creating a park and letting things run isn't enough; you need staff and facilities, but wages and construction come at a cost. Still, rising to the challenge can feel rewarding, even if effectively spaced land development is not my specialty. Watching these rides in action shows how closely the team paid attention to real-life rollercoaster designs, and that's particularly clear from the first-person camera. Instead of just watching from above like some omnipotent adrenaline-fuelled deity, you can swap perspectives and witness a ride unfold in either testing or while it's actively open. That's nothing new for the sequel, but seeing these rides in action has me itching to book Thorpe Park and Alton Towers tickets. How much care Frontier is giving Planet Coaster 2 is immediately clear. I also enjoy how you can customize rollercoaster trains with additional designs, such as light bars on the side. Duplicating these across the entire set of trains at once is also helpful, keeping designs consistent while removing any potential tedium doing that for every individual cart would involve. An option to create custom trains and original mascots would be nice, though the existing choices on both aspects are still great. Though Planet Coaster 2 doesn't completely flip the script, evolutionary gameplay changes and visual upgrades mean building your theme park feels better than ever. I hope Frontier will address my more minor frustrations, yet this hands-on session shows the potential of the upcoming amusement park sim. I'll be keen to check out more when Planet Coaster 2 launches on November 6 for PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PS5. View the full article

Helldivers 2 developer Arrwhead has revealed the next Warbond that'll be arriving in the game. It's called Chemical Agents, and will live up to that name by letting you douse enemies in horrible gas and unleash some similarly toxic odours on your teammates through a ***** emote. The news of this Warbond comes as studio is building to the deployment of Patch 01.001.007 on September 17, which thus far looks to be bringing a heap of buffs in an attempt to get the game's community back into their happy zone, following recent criticism over nerfs. Here's hoping the follow-up to the Freedom's Flame Warbond passes that same smell test. As outlined in the PS blog post announcing it, Chemical Agents is set to drop on September 19, and offers a bunch of gear themed around the kind of stuff you might don if you were trying to rid the entire galaxy of bacteria using everything you keep in the cupboard under your kitchen sink.

Crackling Energy is a Sorcerer status effect in Diablo 4. It is generated by certain skills and discharges automatically when foes approach. It provides extra reactive damage and can even give other benefits. It is an excellent means of improving your Lightning Elemental damage. However, it will likely be impractical if you are mostly focusing on *****, Ice, or even mixing multiple elements. This makes it important to either stack lots of Crackling Energy benefits, or ignore it entirely. View the full article

The highlight of the first Venom: The Last Dance trailer was the symbiote taking over a horse, which... isn't exactly high praise. In the just-released second preview, however, things are looking more intriguing and unexpectedly high-stakes. We already knew that the third Venom movie was meant to be the 'end of the line' for Tom Hardy's Eddie Brock and the chatty Venom symbiote unless some sort of very half-assed crossover event movie happens with Morbius, Kraven, and whatnot. The first trailer also introduced Chiwetel Ejiofor as a military-type and Juno Temple as a scientist both trying to hunt down and understand the symbiote just as a major invasion hits Earth. Now, the plot is getting a bit more complicated. One major complaint about the two Venom movies released so far, which have done really well at the box office despite the middling critical receptions, was that they lacked compelling-enough villains or threats that went beyond just another guy wearing a symbiote in a different colour. Sure, Carnage is a big villain from the comic books, but he was wasted alongside Woody Harrelson's Cletus Kassady. Now, in the final stretch, the creatives and producers behind the saga are raising the stakes by bringing Knull, the **** and creator of all the hungry symbiotes, into the fold.
