Pokemon Go Receives Smeargle, And You Can Capture It Using The New “Go Snapshot” Feature

Niantic releases constant updates for Pokemon Go, and the game receives numerous new additions, including events, Pokemon, and others. This time, Smeargle has become available in Pokemon GO. Players can now catch this Generation 2 Pokemon using the newly added Go Snapshot feature.

It is exciting to see Smeargle join the game, as we didn’t know whether his abilities could particular to Pokemon Go. Smeargle comes in the game with the Sketch skill which allows it to copy the powers of other Pokemon monsters. It is easy to understand why this could be a problem for the game, and it took some time until developers added this Generation 2 Pokemon to Pokemon Go.

Here’s how to capture Smeargle in Pokemon Go using the new Go Snapshot feature

To catch Smeargle, you must use the Go Snapshot. That means that you will have to become a photographer for a while. If you continue to take photos, you might spot Smeargle in one of them. After the Pokemon shows up in one of your photos, you should also see a catchable Smeargle show up in the wild.

If you manage to capture Smeargle, you should know that his original ability is a bit different in Pokemon Go. You will also have a chance to use the Go Snapshot feature when it comes to its particular skill. After you captured Smeargle, you can use the Go Snapshot function to take photos of other Pokemon so that Smeargle can “Sketch” their abilities.

You should also know that it is not possible to get all the abilities of other Pokemon. For instance, Ditto’s Transform special skill is not transferable. You need to select a Pokemon with abilities you want to copy and sketch it. Basically, this allows you to create some sort of copy of that Pokemon. However, keep in mind that Smeargle’s CP doesn’t go over 500.

Chex Quest HD Would Come Out Soon, Reviving The Famous 90’s Classic Game

If you were a kid in the 90s, you must remember Chex Quest. The game was released with millions of boxes of Chex cereals, and it was hugely successful back then, as all children were playing it. Miss the game? We have some good news for you. The game will receive an HD remake. The trailer for the game was already released. If you are ready to take a trip to the past, you can watch the complete Chex Quest HD trailer at the end of this article.

“In 1996 the advergame Chex Quest was released as a prize inside of millions of boxes of Chex breakfast cereal,” the developers explained on their Facebook page. “It was essentially a kid-friendly Doom total conversion telling the story of the Chex Warrior who travels across the galaxy to rescue the cereal people from the evil inter-dimensional Flemoids. It was considered a very successful promotion in its time and the game gained a cult following that persists to this day.”

Chex Quest HD Will Use Unreal Engine 4

To recreate that classic game the team will use Unreal Engine 4. Chex Quest HD will remain faithful to the original, and it will feature the same things so that nothing feels different. “It will feature all of the same ‘weapons,’ enemies, power-ups and levels from the original,” developers added. “The levels will be redesigned in regards to their layouts, but the themes and overall aesthetics will be consistent with the original levels.”

Another thing that you should know is that volunteers create this Chex Quest remake. They are not paid for their work, and they can develop their game only in their spare time, which makes it easy to understand why it will take longer than usual for Chex Quest HD to come out. More than that, the game will be available for free.

OnePlus 7 Won’t Come Out With Wireless Charging, Disappointing The Fans

It is not the first time OnePlus decides not to introduce wireless charging in an outcoming phone, and it is also the case of the forthcoming OnePlus 7, as well. Pete Lau, the CEO of the company, during an interview with Roger Cheng from CNET, offered the fans of their products some pre-release information that would keep them waiting without losing their enthusiasm.

When asked about wireless charging, Pete Lau did not hesitate to address the question. Even though it has been widely requested before as OnePlus fans have been waiting for the possibility to charge their OnePlus smartphones without using a cord, OnePlus 7 will disappoint the fans.

The company’s CEO stated that the charging OnePlus has is one of the best, offering there a reference to the Warp Charge standard of the company which in approximately 20 minutes can charge OnePlus 6T McLaren Edition, the latest phone of the company, to 50 percent.

OnePlus 7 Won’t Come Out With Wireless Charging

According to Pete Lau, fans are asking for something far inferior because wireless charging can’t even get close to what the Warp Charge standard is offering. However, as companies should also listen to the feedback provided by the people who buy their products, Pete Lau, the CEO of OnePlus, mentioned (not for the first time) that the company is still looking into granting its fans’ wish.

They are working on a wireless charging solution that would provide both fast and reliable charging. As mentioned before, the company will not add inductive charging to any of their phones, including OnePlus 7, until they are sure that the solution they create does not generate excess heat, an obstacle that keeps bothering them.

Pete Lau has also been asked about the new Quick Charge wireless charging platform from Qualcomm, but he decided not to comment on that topic. OnePlus 7 fans heard this type of news before, but the disappointment is still there.

Nonetheless, no additional details were released. We weren’t told when the ports would be available, and we didn’t know which versions of the games were going to be ported. However, it appears that the waiting time is finally over. Capcom let us know that the ports will arrive very soon, and users can already pre-order them starting on February 28th.

Capcom announced the launch date of Resident Evil classic games on Nintendo Switch the official Twitter account of the game. You can read the tweet below:

Resident Evil Classic Games To Come To Nintendo Switch in May

As the tweet announces, the release date for the three Resident Evil classic games on Nintendo Switch is May 21st. More than that, fans can pre-order them starting February 28th. While the tweet does mention that Resident Evil 0, 1, and 4 are the games coming to Switch, other clues offered by Capcom refer to those specific games.

For example, “on trains” refers to Resident Evil 0, which takes place mostly on a train. Then, we have “mansion tours,” which is a reference to the original Resident Evil, which was set in the Spencer Mansion. Finally, the “European countryside” refers to Resident Evil 4, which takes place in a fictional European village.
