Currently, Apple relies on a combination of its own data centers, and th...

Maybe it’s that the basic formula, of becoming the very best trainer, has remained largely the same since its debut   on Game Boy. A sense of comfort and familiarity, while implementing enough new features to evolve, keeps bringing gamers back in droves. No mainline Pokémon game has been anything less than great, and all of them have been commercial successes. Pokémon is one of the rare franchises that both kids and adults obsess over.
