With Pokémon X and Y versions announced and due for a global October 2013 release let’s take a look at some of the previously released pocket monsters. As it stands there are 649 incarnations of the creatures and whilst some of them are memorable legends like Pikachu it’s certainly fair to say that GameFreak weren’t feeling too well when they designed these 12 atrocities. 1.

Psyduck Only a small amount of the original 151 Pokémon have made it onto this list however here’s Psyduck.

Both big players in the console developing game have dealt their next generation hands now thanks to the Xbox One reveal a few weeks ago. With that reveal it was announced that the Xbox One would be limiting used games, thanks to a ‘Pre-owned tax’ that means outlets have to pay a fee to buy/sell used games.

DRM stands for Digital Rights Management and refers to technologies used by designers/developers/publishers and manufacturers with the intent of controlling digital devices after sale. In terms of used games, DRM will refer to the control of sharing and re-using games once purchased. But what does t...
