We Will Visit Cybertron in the Bumblebee Movie
Paramount Pictures brought Transformers to San Diego Comic-Con’s Hall H today. Well, actually, they brought a Transformer: Bumblebee. Director Travis Knight (Kubo and the Two Strings) and stars Hailee Steinfeld, John Cena, and Jorge Lendeborg Jr. were in town to talk about why this new Transformers movie is very different from the previous entries in the series.
The film, which is set in 1987, sees Bumblebee teaming up with Steinfeld’s character (and returning to his familiar Volkswagen Beetle form from the old days rather than the more modern Camaro). The pair will be dealing with some Decepticons, including Shatter, voiced by Angela Bassett, who turns into a red Plymouth Satellite, and Dropkick, voiced by Justin Theroux, who transforms into a blue AMC Javelin.
Pokemon Go Introduces Lucky Pokemon
Niantic has announced a new feature for Pokemon Go, a new type of Pokemon called Lucky Pokemon.
According to a blog post on Pokemon Go’s official site, Pokemon have a chance to become Lucky Pokemon when they’re traded. Lucky Pokemon will require less Stardust to power up than regular Pokemon, so you won’t have to spend as much to get them to their maximum CP.
According to Niantic’s post, a Pokemon is more likely to become Lucky the longer it’s spent in your Pokemon storage, so Pokemon from the game’s launch two years ago probably have a better chance than something you’ve caught recently.
“Whether or not being in storage causes Pokémon to become Lucky Pokémon remains a mystery, but be sure to stay posted for more results from the professor’s research,” the post says.
Lucky Pokemon Are Now Available in Pokemon Go
UPDATE: Lucky Pokemon are now available in Pokemon Go. Check out the video below to see a successful Lucky Pokemon trade in action:
