Local Newspaper Reported That Pokémon Gun Was The Real Deal
/ Carlos HernandezEver since Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield was announced by Nintendo, fans and pretty much everybody on the internet went nuts.
With the modest amount of information revealed so far, everyone’s going crazy. The female Pokémon trainer is presumed to have a Scottish accent based on her clothes. Even Sobble, one of the starting Pokémon has been memed up as a perpetually depressed water-type Pokémon. But one of the first and best jokes was a Pokemon Gun logo. and a local newspaper thought it was the real deal.
Or maybe we’re missing something? Probably not. We are pretty sure there are only two versions of the game slated for a late 2019 release for the Nintendo Switch.
The logo of the fake version called Pokémon Gun was enough for a newspaper in Mexico named La voz de Michoacán to run it together with their feature on Sword and Shield and physically published it for mass consumption. It was revealed by Twitter user Cin Ceja which provided screenshots of the feature in all its glory.

In the grand scheme of things, Capcom has delivered a sequel to make Dragon’s Dogma fans happy and wishing for more, but this isn’t a massive upgrade. Rather, it’s a modernization of the overall concept as the highs and lows of the first game mirror the sequel. If you can weather the storm that is Dragon’s Dogma 2, you might come out as one of the players who consider this one of the best RPG experiences they’ve ever played, or simply the worst.
