Tell us which video game would be hardest to survive, then tell us how you'd do it

A really tough one...

Probably the land of Hyrule from Tears of the Kingdom because of how dangerous it is even five years on from Link and Princess Zelda's victory against Calamity Ganon.

You have to contend with Gloom from the Depths which have suddenly appeared and making people sick, weapons and farming tools have decayed suddenly, falling debris from the Sky Islands you have never seen before, new monsters who are absolutely terrifying, the Yiga Clan who have gotten stronger and the regular monsters who seem to have an upgrade.

There is also the matter of the ruined Hyrule Castle floating above the ground too...

I would probably be a villager from Hateno Village and surviving would be even harder than normal.

My life would revolve around helping around the farm above the village and travelling the dangerous roads selling my wares from the farm and village to travellers who are more than capable of fending off the monsters who like to ambush you.

I would also try my best avoid the massive holes on the ground full of Gloom and falling debris.

I do meet other races too on my journey between Lookout Landing and Hateno Village but occasionally I would go to Rito Village and the Stables.

Listening to the people who have been uprooted due to the changes would be sad and heartbreaking.

However, I would have some hope to those trying to solve why it has happened at Lookout Landing.

Finally, despite all of the new issues, I would still try my best to survive as many Hyruleans have before me.

Pokémon Researcher Diary Day One:

Today was the day I finally started my new job as a Pokémon Researcher at Hammerlocke University in the Galar Region!

After being back home in the leafy suburbs of Wyndon for almost a year it was nice to actually go back to Uni after so long and start my journey into becoming a Pokémon Professor.

I do miss being a Pokémon Ranger and living in Snowpoint City in the Sinnoh Region but the call of home was too strong after being there for over 11 years (not including the sandwich year placement).

My ex-partner Clara (Glaceon) and my second partner Lux (Luxray) are still with me and enjoying retirement.

It was so nice of them to send me off with my parents and youngest sibling early yesterday morning. They even saw me get the Monorail to Wyndon Station and they seemed to be happy that I was starting a brand-new adventure.

I’m going to miss them so much… 🙁

—-----------------------------------------------------

The commute down to Hammerlocke City via train wasn’t too bad and there weren’t any planned track closures today thankfully because the Corviknight Taxis would have been so busy and I would be late to clock-in and meet the team.

The team had asked me before I started what type I would research in and to be honest that was a hard one to decide at first because I didn’t really have a favourite type of Pokémon growing up.

Whilst I was on the train, I was scrolling on my Rotom Phone and a notification popped up and it took me to an album that was full of photos of Ghost Pokémon.

These photos were taken over the years and I then remembered that I am such a Noctowl to a point where I used to camp all-over and take photos of these Pokêmon at night.

I then started to write notes and did some light reading on my PokéDex App on Ghost Pokémon.


At the first meeting I told the team that I wanted to research Ghost Pokémon and I then was paired with two researchers who were experienced within that field and joined their team.

The day went really well as I got to know my new team and for my final task I was asked to catch a brand-new Partner Pokémon.

This wasn’t just for research purposes but this was an important tradition amongst those who want to become Professors.

Having a field trip on my first day wasn’t expected but I relished the chance of catching a Ghastly with my supplied Dusk Balls from my team.

Finding them wasn’t too hard as they hang out in the Wild Area next to the city by Hammerlocke Hills especially during foggy weather.

The weather at night was perfect with thick fog around and I was happy to hear their cries near my tent.

Catching one of them was easy and I was grateful that there were no Haunter and Gengar nearby because I didn’t have other Pokémon to battle them.

As I was approaching back to my tent a Mimikyu appeared and was very curious to see what I had caught, so I showed Ghastly and they seemed to be delighted.

I asked the Mimkyu if they wanted to join my team and I gave them the choice to do so by leaving one of my Dusk Balls next to it.

Finally, it was getting really late so I returned my Ghastly back into its ball and told Mimikyu that I hoped to see them in the Dusk Ball by the time I woke up…

What's the coolest weapon or powerup in any video game?

One of the coolest weapons for me has to be the Diamond Sword in Minecraft. This is because of the effort to get the best sword forged in the game and how low the spawn rate for diamonds were back in the early days of the game.

I used to be an avid Minecraft player back in my Uni days and getting your sword enchanted was also not easy to do.
