Another Possible Pokemon Stars Hint Emerges...Or Does It?

The Pokemon fanbase has gotten hyped over the last few weeks about a possible new game announcement. Last fall, several sites (led by Eurogamer) reported on an alleged sequel to Pokemon Sun and Moon called "Pokemon Stars" that would feature new Pokemon and would be released for the Nintendo Switch.A few weeks ago, the Pokemon Company released a celestial themed line of merchandise with the slogan "Look upon the Stars" which some thought was a clue that a Pokemon Stars announcement was imminent. Then, a gaming forum discovered a blank spot had appeared on Nintendo's archive of past Nintendo Directs, something that only happens when a Nintendo Direct is about to drop. Couple that with the fact that Pokemon has traditionally made an announcement about its next game during the second week of May, and now the hype
Now, Internet detectives have jumped on a new piece of evidence that Nintendo is about to announce a Pokemon Stars game. A poster on NeoGAF noted that the URL "Pokemon.com/Hoshi" redirects to Pokemon's homepage instead of leading to a 404 load screen. "Hoshi" is the Japanese word for "star" and it's significant as it means that someone deliberately set up that redirect. Shortly before the announcement of Pokemon Sun and Moon, a URL for "Pokemon.com/neji" (neji being the Japanese word for moon) also began redirecting to Pokemon's homepage.
Before people get too hyped, it was quickly pointed out that ANY Pokemon.com URL that ends with the letter "i" seems to redirect to Pokemon's webpage. For example, Pokemon.com/pokemonstarsisfakenewsi redirects to Pokemon's webpage, as does Pokemon.com/Sinnohremakesconfirmedi. It's likely that this was just a way to conceal whatever Pokemon's true plans are for their next game, as opposed to an actual hint that Pokemon Stars is coming soon.


 Still, Pokemon wouldn't have gone to such lengths if it wasn't trying to hide SOMETHING. Could we be getting a Pokemon Stars announcement this week? Stay tuned to Pokemon Daily to find out.

For Your Pokémon GO Mew Hunt, Here's Which Gen 1-3 Pokémon Can Be Ditto Now

Niantic Pokemon GO While the first Mews are already being collected by die-hard Pokémon GO fans, for most of us, the journey is going to take quite a bit longer . While the first few steps of the Mew “Special Research” quest are pretty easy, eventually, you’ll start running into a few walls like having to evolve a Gyarados or land an excellent curve throw (skill dependent, of course). But one of the “gates” is mostly based on luck. Professor Willlow seems to think Mew is disguising itself as other Pokémon, so it wants you to catch a Pokémon who can also do that. And you guessed it, that’s Ditto. Ditto was one of the Gen 1 stragglers introduced late into the game because I’m pretty sure it took a while for Niantic to figure out how to code him. But now, three generations later, Ditto no longer just appears as random Pidgeys and Ratattas, but rather a whole host of Gen 1-3 Pokémon. I had no idea what the full list of curre...
