TWD Actor Explains Ezekiel’s Relationship with Negan
The Walking Dead audiences were introduced to a whole new world in the post-zombie apocalypse, the Kingdom, in Sunday's episode, and with it they met its capable ruler, Ezekiel. But in a world where Negan is out to conquer every community within reach, what is the relationship between those at the Kingdom and the Saviors?
Full spoilers for The Walking Dead continue below.
It was revealed in "The Well" that Ezekiel is responsible with providing goods to Negan's crew, just like Hilltop must and Rick's group soon will have to, but the king of the Kingdom has a certain amount of confidence and rapport with the Saviors that the other two leaders don't have. Khary Payton, the actor who plays Ezekiel, explained why he thinks that is to IGN.

Pokemon Company Interested in More Remakes
Pokemon series producer Junichi Masuda says the Pokemon Company is interested in more remakes of older Pokemon games.
“I think the remakes, like Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen, is still an approach we’re interested in,” Masuda told IGN. “With the Virtual Console releases of the original games, specifically there had never been a way to bring those Pokemon over to the latest generation. It had always been that you couldn’t get those Pokemon out.”
Masuda explained that services like Pokemon Bank and the Poke Transporter finally gave the developers an option to release the original versions on Virtual Console, essentially letting people upload first generation into the new game.
