by

Hey there, welcome to our latest edition of The Wrapp.

Here’s your chance to peek into the game choices of our Pocket Gamer team for this weekend! It could offer you a glimpse into some peculiar and exciting activities we engage in when we’re not delivering the latest news and advice. Who knows, you might even discover a fresh game to enjoy yourself.

Last week found me smack in the middle of a travel mishap, which prevented me from sharing my weekend plans. Fortunately, or unfortunately depending on how you look at it, these travel alterations kept me away from my usual gaming activities.

This weekend will be different.

During Pocket Gamer Connects San Francisco, I secured a chance to play several new games, including Gordian Quest and Mo.Co by Supercell. I’m eager to devote considerable time to these games. UNFORTUNATELY, I have another trip planned, this time for the Pokemon Go City Safari tour in Milan. As a result, I’ll undoubtedly spend time attempting to catch regional and rare shinies there.

Additionally, the latest Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket Expansion Pack has arrived, coinciding perfectly with me acquiring the last card in the Triumphant Light set (with only three more from Space-Time Smackdown remaining). I’m eagerly looking forward to diving into the new packs, hoping to make a quick start on my Shining Revelry collection.

It turns out that instead of discussing the new idea for our Ahead of the Game series, I find myself engrossed in the recent launch of the Shining Revelry expansion pack. Unfortunately, I’m not quite done with the previous expansion yet, which means my weekend will be spent completing it.

Since I’m going to keep chattering about the Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket for some time, why don’t you tune in and discover what our Pocket Gamer Podcast will discuss instead? We’ve got a snazzy new banner, so Will, Iwan, and I might need to rein in our random conversations a bit.

I’m currently spending some hours on Super Meat Boy Forever, and I must confess that it’s tougher than I thought. However, compared to my regular games like Balatro and Vampire Survivors, I find it easier to start playing, so I believe I’ll keep coming back to it regularly!

If not anything out of the ordinary for this week, I’ll focus on checking out Catherine’s selection of the top five latest mobile games. These are the ones she thinks are worth trying to discover some promising upcoming releases!

This version aims to maintain the original meaning while making it more engaging and easier to understand for readers.

This weekend, I’ve got “Before the Coffee Gets Cold” by Toshikazu Kawaguchi waiting in line. I’m intending to mix things up a bit and squeeze in some reading amidst my gaming breaks. If there’s time left, I might as well give the new Teamfight Tactics set a try, but no guarantees!

This upcoming weekend, I’ll be diving deep into the world of Pokémon Go, exploring both the gameplay and Milan’s Go City Safari. I’m eagerly preparing to catch a multitude of Pokémon. Fingers crossed for a Shiny Safari Eevee! Hopefully, the Shiny deities will smile upon me!


Will Quick

Freelance Writer

*(Beeep) Hey there! No worries about the number or the machine; it’s all part of the package. If you’re looking for Will Quick, he’s not available at the moment. He’s delved back into the original Crashlands game, preparing himself for Crashlands 2. He’s planning to discover and craft everything within the game while pondering over the adorable yet dangerous alien creatures it hosts. Should you need to reach him urgently, please provide your name, and I have no doubt he’ll get back to you as soon as he can… My apologies, but my throat feels a bit sore; I wish I had sipped some honey tea before speaking.*

This week, I’ll be celebrating Mother’s Day in Wales. If you haven’t visited, think of it as a slightly rainier version of England, but trust me, it’s fantastic! The downside is fewer hours for gaming, which is a tough decision to make, but I might still squeeze in some Xenoblade Chronicles X. Now that I’ve unlocked the Skells, I’m cruising around Mira and having a great time.

It seems unlikely that I’ll have much leisure for gaming this weekend due to a mountain of work awaiting me. But if an opportunity arises, I might indulge in Pokemon TCG Pocket. Indeed, we are the official TCG fan page at present. The excitement is high as now you can engage in Ranked matches! I’m eager to test my mettle and see how far I can advance with the Clodsire Ex deck I intend to construct. While everyone suggests pairing it with Grafaiai, I prefer to disregard such sound advice and opt for Weezing instead – because after all, Weezing rules!
