Back to The Isle of Armor we go. The Pokemon series has introduced so many different legendary Pokemon over the years, but there’s just something about the classic group from the original Red and Blue. Mewtwo has long been the most talked about of the bunch, but the legendary bird trio of Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres are much beloved as well. While they did not make the cute in the base game for Pokemon Sword and Shield or even The Isle of Armor, they have made their triumphant return in The Crown Tundra expansion with a bit of a twist....

“I think what we’re trying to talk about is the fact that, not that we’re not doing single-player games,” said Newell. “Portal 2 is a pretty good example of what we’ve learned over the years and how to create those experiences. It’s more that we think we have to work harder in the future, that entertainment is inherently increased in value by having it be social — by letting you play with your friends, by recognizing that you’re connected with other people — that’s the thing that we’re trying to do, saying that single-player is great, but we also have to recognize that you have friends and want to have that connected, as well....
