I was doing so much wrong Professional esports, while much more widely accepted than it was only years ago, is still coming into its own. There’s a lot about competitive gaming that a mainstream audience doesn’t even consider — like, coaching. The highest level of competition within esports doesn’t have players relying solely on instincts and practice hours.

But it will be soon! Arceus is one of those Pokémon I’d rather not think too hard about, if I’m being frank. Not because of its design, or its abilities, or whatever other criteria we might use to judge these creatures against each other. Nah. It’s the lore!

So many classics, surely you all remember that one with stickmen and tons of violence? How about that other one about violent stickmen? Wait, I’m starting to see a trend. But one game that was actually well done wasTrials. Fast forward to today and you’ll find a brand newTrialsgame out and it’s still quite good....

Step aside, Lance Armstrong Sport news?! On a videogame website?! Usually this is the sort of transgression me and my chubby little sportless legs would simply not allow, but for this one time I will make an exception purely because of how brilliant it is.
